What more could you ask for? This sleek, 2nd floor condo, within walking (or biking) distance to downtown Traverse City, sparks the joy of a romantic getaway for two (2) with their fur baby, or a writer's retreat for the sole traveler who wants to enjoy the space of the condo, while enjoying the city. The kitchen is open and you can continue the conversation from the meal prep to the living room. All your convenient kitchen appliances are available, including a dishwasher and washer/dryer. The comfortable bedroom has a simple design with a queen bed.

Next to the dog park, and the pickle ball courts, with sand volleyball nearby. It's just a short jaunt to one of many wine tours. A fishing charter is one of many options. The opportunity to get away from your routine and explore the eclectic Traverse City. Don't forget to indulge in the many cherry options you'll encounter along your way.

Wonderful Stay in Traverse City
This property is in a fantastic location. There is a dog park right across the street which our four-legged loved. The condo is quiet, clean and supplied with most anything you need.

life by the pickle ball courts
Parking spaces where the size for European cars. Bed was foam and soft as a marshmallow. Not a good sleep. Only 1 set of towels and washcloths for 5 days. Great to have a washing machine to do the towels. Was close to everything downtown and easy walk. Pickleball starts at 8:00am and goes ALL day. Living room was very comfortable and had a nice view of the Dog Park, could see a little bit of the water too.

Nice time at the BISH
I traveled to TC for work and my husband and dog ZoieBowie tagged along. It was great to be right in town and directly across from the dog park. Clean, comfortable, had everything we needed. Will recommend to friends and co-workers. So much better than hotelling.
