Great Location
This house is older so expect some quirkiness. The location is fabulous. It was within easy walking distance to everything Traverse City has to offer. There isn't an enclosed outdoor area for your pet but the neighbor was really nice to walk in and I felt safe walking at night. Bring measuring spoons and a measuring cup if you plan to do any cooking as they didn't have these items on hand. The property could also use more kitchen hand towels. The bathroom linens were very nice and plentiful. The bedding was great. I would also suggest bringing a couple throw blankets as the property didn't seem to have any. We would definitely rent here again despite it missing a couple things. It was a lovely stay for us and our pup!

Blues Free Weekend at the Blue House
My wife and I visit Traverse frequently and wanted to bring our parents with us for a special trip. The house was a great value at a great location with several handy businesses within walking distance. Beds were very comfortable and the area was pretty quiet, I'm not sure we ever slept so well while traveling. The house is very well kept and we enjoyed all of it.

Blue House
Everything was as depicted online. A truly amazing base to explore all that Traverse City has to offer and beyond. Great location, walkable to downtown yet quiet vicinity. Only one minor point was the lack of bath plug with smaller children however on the plus side it got them more familiar with showers!

Great location with lots of walkable options for coffee, drinks and food. Off the downtown beat just enough to be an easy walk but avoiding congestion. Would stay again!

Wonderful experience
We had a great time at this beautiful, clean and remodeled home right in downtown TC. I would recommend this house to other families as well. Everything was just as described and had a really cool vibe. The outdoor porch furniture was comfortable and fun for people watching. Will be back next summer! The host was very friendly including leaving us a bottle of wine after the long car ride 😊

3 night stay
The location of this is house is great. It’s about a mile from Great Wolf, close to downtown, and within very close walking distance to a brewery, burger restaurant, coffee shop, liquor/convenience store, CVS, and a speedway. There’s honestly everything you need within walking distance, it was fantastic. The house set up was exactly as described. More than comfortable and the host was extremely quick with all communication. It’s been mentioned in several reviews, but no bathroom on 2nd floor, which wasn’t a problem for us, but the stairs are fairly steep with it being an older house, so I could see them being more difficult for older families or people with any mobility or vision difficulties. 10/10 recommend

Loved the location!! 7 blocks or so from downtown. Didn't realize from the photos that there really isn't a back yard. There is a parking lot in back that has 2 spots reserved for this house. Wasn't a problem though. Sharing one bathroom for the 5 of us was a little tough but doable.
