Great place to stay!
The house was clean, had all the items needed for our stay, and the owners were very accommodating. The added touches of a snack bin, chilled pop in the fridge and personalized note on arrival were great!

Great getaway spot!
This place is great for those looking for a relaxing getaway. The house was very clean and all the amenities were in great condition, everything was labeled for easy access. The sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub were a great way to end the day. Also, this property is not far from downtown Traverse City and there is a lake nearby with a very good walking/running trail around it. Definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect little bungalow
This was our third time staying at this property and we always have a wonderful time! Our dog loves watching the squirrels in the yard and the neighborhood is quiet and walkable. The massage chairs were an excellent addition and the location is perfect - close to everything you’d ever want but very peaceful and feels separate enough that you can come home and relax. Couldn’t recommend more.

MOther & Sibling trip for Mom's 75th
Hello We had an amazing time. The bungalow was perfect for us! Very clean. Wonderful check in process. Great location. Safe area. We did it all Downtown Traverse for lunch & dinners. Did hiking & Shopping in Glen Arbor. We shopped in Sutton Bay. My brothers took a fishing trip & caught a King Salmon. The fire-put at the Bungalow was just perfect, we enjoyed those nice evenings. I would recommend the Bungalow to anyone visiting Traverse City. Thank you. Kara & family.

This place was perfect for our little weekend away in TC. The check in process was very easy and informative, the host checked in to make sure everything was fine. The property was in a nice quiet neighborhood with a beautiful backyard and fire pit area. Close to downtown Traverse, the location was great. Definitely would come back.

Wedding and Family Vacation
We made this are home base for a wedding and family vacation. We really enjoyed our stay here it was close to everything and we enjoyed being away from Front St but close enough that we could ride our bikes there in about 13 minutes. The house was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the back yard with the fire pit.

This was an outstanding place to stay all around!

Cute TC Bungalow
Very cute and clean little house. Everything you need for a weekend or a week's stay. Nice fire pit in back yard and fun lights for enjoying the back deck. A litter further from the bays and beaches than i thought, but only an extra 10 min/1 mile bike ride to the tart trail. Woukd definitely stay here again!

Cosy well maintained house
We felt welcome when we entered the house. They had a little basket with some local jam, candy and food on the kitchen table. It was super clean and looked very well maintained. Bedrooms were cosy and the bed was made with decoration cushions and blankets. Enough space for us. Kitchen was fully equipped. Nice backyard. Communication with the owner was good. I think I can only mention 1 comment. With 2 adults (50+) we prefer a king bed. Both beds were a bit small.
