It was so relaxing!

Our lake view condo was the perfect setting for our get-away staycation. We were able to cook some meals ourselves which was nice. There was enough equipment to make breakfast, lunch and dinner.The location was great with quick access to downtown and other location. It was perfectly quiet and everthing was great.

So Peaceful

Was clean and comfy! This is nestled in trees with a view of the water. It's a great place to unwind in the fall and would be great in the summer as the pool and beach are nearby. Was stocked with everything you need! Would highly recommend!

The condo was in an easy to find and get to location. Our unit looked out on a wooded area with a view of East Bay through the trees. It was very quiet inside, inspite of being able to hear traffic when outside. We also loved being able to walk out back from the deck and over a wooden bridge to the beach area. We had a couple issues with the dryer, but management got back to me promptly and a repairman was sent out to fix it a couple days later. We have stayed in various locations around Traverse City area over the years and this was one of our favorites.

TC Stay

The condo was an average type place to stay. Everything in the condo did its job but you could tell it was a rental. It is functional but quite a ways from plushy. It is a good location for going into Traverse City or going further north up the coast.

Great Stay!

The condo was very clean and felt more spacious than what the photos depicted. The photos are accurate, but the rooms and layout of the condo provided more space than I anticipated. There was also ample closet and drawer space so we did not have to have all of our belongings sprawled everywhere. We could see Lake Michigan from our condo patio, and the beach was a short and beautiful walk. I also really appreciated the extra amenities this condo provided such as the complimentary bottle of wine, the discounted wine tasting at Chateau Chantal (I had a great time!), and the washer & dryer. If I come back to Traverse City I will definitely stay here again.
