Perfect TC Townhome

I loved everything about the property. The garage access was a HUGE bonus. If you have a truck or full size SUV then it will be difficult or impossible to get in there but my mid size car fit fine. I can't wait to stay here over and over again

Love The Location

Great location, just at the edge of the downtown area, easy walking to the downtown restaurants, breweries, and stores, and also near other community neighborhoods. Katy is an awesome host, she made everything easy, including a bag of local ground coffee and a bottle of wine from Left Foot Charlie winery. I would rent again.

Amazing location!

We traveled to Traverse City as a group of 4 adults (2 married couples) to get away for the weekend. I loved that the condo is just steps away from all the restaurants, coffee shops and bars. We were able to fit our Honda van with a bike rack into the garage with a little effort, but it worked. House was amazing! No need to bring soap or shampoo as both full bathrooms have caddy filled with all you need. Kitchen fairly stocked, thougj bring your own storage bags if you intend to wrap any leftovers
