Loved our Stay
We were in Traverse City for my 2 Grandsons Hockey Tournament and we had the best time !!!! We were only approx. 10 minutes from the ice rink so we could come back to relax and have snacks when they had a 3 - 4 hour break between games. The Condo was very clean and very nicely decorated (even had a beautiful decorated Christmas Tree) !!!!! We loved it and will definitely be back next year .

August 2023 visit
This is a nice clean condo. Beds are very comfortable, we slept very well each night. The garage is such a plus. It was a wet, rainy, misty week while we were in Traverse City. It was so nice to be able to store our bikes in the garage out of the weather. This was our second stay with Carrie at this condo.

Clean and comfortable
There were 2 adults and 1 teenager on our trip. The loft was perfect for the teenager, but I think it would work well for younger kids too (there were some toys up there). I wouldn't recommend travelling with a big group since the condo is not huge. But for us, it was plenty of space, very clean, and comfortable. The garage was really nice because I was expecting one big shared garage, so having a private garage was a good surprise! We didn't need to communicate much with the host because we didn't have any issues. There was a binder in the condo with recommendations, and we used some of those (the hike they recommend was perfect for our group).

Excellent stay in Traverse City
We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The host was communicative and provided excellent recommendations for things to do and see around tow. They even left a gift card for an awesome coffee shop nearby. We had a very thing we need in a central area that is walkable to downtown. Would stay again and highly recommend.

Quiet and safe place to stay at.
The check in was super easy, the property was really clean. There was a book with all the information you might need from places to visit, where to eat, what to do, and instructions for the check out process. The only thing I was hesitant about is the door that leads to the garage/basement doesn’t lock. The garage does have a door with a lock but the door the gives entry to the home from the garage doesn’t. Personally it was just a small thing but the location was very quiet and it seemed safe so I wasn’t really worried. Overall my stay was really nice.
