Guest notes · 7 reviews

I don’t think any place is worth $4000.00 for one week. Theres was many other places charging more. It is what it is. Traverse City is an expensive place to stay in general.

Lyle · 5.0

This location is about as good as it gets. We appreciated the clear communication and lots of little touches that made our stay easy. We loved that the light switches are labeled and that the kitchen came fully stocked with everything we wanted it to have.

Louisa · 5.0

We loved the location of this property. Very walkable and in a beautiful neighborhood close to the main drag, restaurants and parks. The allow pets so it was very nice to take our dog out for a walk in such a great neighborhood. The home is nice but older, so electrical outlets are sparse, and upstairs is hotter than the rest of the house (we stayed during 80 degree days). We ran into a couple other issues during our stay but I’ll leave those in the private section because they don’t seem to be ongoing issues.
