Bungalow Getaway

My wife and I have stayed at the Traverse City bungalow, about three times, and each time, we feel at home. The neighborhood is cute, some great coffee and food options so close, and the bungalow itself is very relaxing. Whether we were relaxing in the massage chairs, soaking in the hot tub, or just stretching on the couch, we could feel the stress of life melt away. We hope to return again.to

Great pet friendly stay with nice amenities!

This place is great. We had everything we needed to feel at home including a nice private backyard for the puppy. The sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub were great for relaxing at the end of the day. The place was clean and welcoming with some local snacks included. Overall, a great experience!

Perfect spot!

We had an amazing time staying at the TC Bungalow! It’s a great location- you can walk to grab coffee at Mundos in the morning and front street is a short bike ride or drive! This location is so great for those wanting to be in a solid location for exploring both the Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas. Truly the perfect spot for exploring the area. The property was also the most dog friendly I’ve ever stayed out. Our pup gelt just as at home as the rest of us!

From the massage chairs, comfy robes, to the hot tub and fabulous sauna, we were treated a most relaxing stay. Everything worked in great condition. We enjoyed the bikes as well. The location was excellent, we biked through the Boardman Lake trail, to downtown and the beach.
