About this property

Clean & Cozy - 3 BDR House - Close to Traverse City - Bay- Beach- Horse Show

This adorable house is on the east side of Traverse City nestled along miles of Grand Traverse Bay shoreline and waterfront parks in Acme/Williamsburg.

Across US 31 N from East Grand Traverse Bay, the property is conveniently located close to beaches, bike trails, restaurants, breweries, wineries, The Great Lakes Equestrian Event, the Turtle Creek Casino, Grand Traverse Resort, Elk Rapids and just miles from downtown Traverse City.

The property is right off US 31 N on Bunker Hill Road. We are located in a commercial district with a mix of residential homes and businesses.

Across Bunker Hill Road is a party store, hardware store and post office and a brewery. Across US 31 N is the beautiful East Grand Traverse Bay.

Also, pizza, a bar/restaurant and ice cream within walking distance! What more do you need?

There is an intersection/light with a crosswalk button that can get you safely to the other side of US 31 N where you can enjoy the beautiful waters of Lake Michigan at a small waterfront park and beach. Or walk or drive north just a ways and hang out at Acme's Bay Side park and swim there.

If larger beaches suit you, there are plenty to choose from in all directions within minutes away.

You can bike to downtown via the TART trail, Mountain Bike or hike the Vasa.

The house is also within miles of Flintfields, home to the Great Lake Equestrian Festival. A perfect location for the horse show guests.

Traverse City area is home to numerous vineyards, breweries and wineries, miles and miles of gorgeous shoreline, nationally recognized events--like the National Cherry Festival, the Traverse City Film Festival and the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival. Not to mention the breathtaking Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Clean well stocked home in a great location

Spacious, clean, comfortable home stocked better than any other place we've stayed in the area (and we've been coming to TC for over a decade). Perfect location for us - very close to the bike trail, which we used daily both into town and N / NE just to explore the area. Close to a couple places to stop and have a drink, beach a short drive up the road, great backyard as well. Had a great time!

Everything you could ask for

What a great little house that has everything you need. We had my parents and two kids packed into it but everything just felt easy. Great location with quick access to downtown TC and a great brewery across the street with food. A. Brewery. Across. The. Street. With. Food. Close enough that you could even watch the baby monitor. I meeeeean... dreams do come true, folks. Also, our host, Carly, messaged us multiple times just to check in. I really appreciated that.

Great place!

We stayed her for a weeding. Cute location, very clean, well stocked. Unfortunately we weren't able to use the beach toys or bikes as the weather wasn't cooperating. Carly was very communicative and made our stay easy and seamless.

Second Stay as Good as the First!

We came here in 2020 during Covid and everything was exceptionally clean and cared for. Four years later, there are some much appreciated “hotel” updates like toiletries in the bathroom. Communication with the hosts has been great both before and after the trips too. A few notes if you’re considering booking: this property does not have air conditioning but does have heat and several fans. The back bedroom has a window a/c unit. It has well water, so you may notice the smell of that as you’re using the water. It can take a few minutes to get out of the driveway due to its proximity to the light.

Well appointed house!

We stayed at this house with a group of friends. We loved that the hosts had thought of everything - we carried the paddle boards to the water across the street, rode the bikes along the TART trail all the way into town, and used the fire pit in the backyard. It was clean and cute - we all enjoyed our stay!

Michigan family vacation

Every year we chose a different location in Michigan to visit and this one was one of our favorites. The house was super cute and very clean. It is located near several beaches (we visited 4) and close enough to Traverse City to bike ride to town (bikes provided by owner). We did some exploring, beaching, and a little wine tasting at a local winery. The owner touched base with us when we arrived and throughout the week. We were all very impressed with the house and amenities provided. Finally, we were also able to bring our fur babies who also enjoyed the dog friendly beaches. We had a wonderful time and would like to come back again soon.

Nice gem just on the edge of city of Traverse Bay

I feel like this is an amazing find. It is right on the edge of the city of Traverse Bay - so accessible to everything, but a little quieter - and right across the street from the water (with a safe crosswalk). So you could easily pass this up thinking the location is not what you want - it truly is! Also, the cleanest, cutest place ever as well as the largest three-bedroom house I have ever seen. The common area is quite large. In addition, Carly will really take care of you without being intrusive.

Full of Amenities

This was a wonderful place to stay, with great access in terms of location. There was a huge Meijer around the corner, restaurants, and only minutes from downtown TC. We loved the decor and most importantly the cleanliness. The hosts really took pride in providing extras and a wonderful binder of information. The garage was packed with bikes, and lots of outdoor water gear. Communication was excellent. At times it did get a bit warm since it is July, but there were lots of nice fans throughout the space to keep the air moving and we knew this ahead of time. We would definitely stay here again.

This has to be one of the cleanest, well maintained locations we have stayed. Carly has done an incredible job of making the home detailed oriented; from the extra tooth brushes, the dog treats, fire starters, to the labels on the light switches. Carly also ensured she was available via phone for any questions or concerns. We will definitely be staying here in the future!

Comfy & conveniently located cottage

We enjoyed our 2nd stay at this comfy cottage. The location is so convenient to all of our favorite places. And the bay view across the street is an added bonus. Greatly appreciated the games when it was rainy and dreary outside. It is decorated very nicely and makes it feel so warm and inviting. Grateful for the attentive host.
