This property was great! Super easy to find with awesome directions given by the host. It had everything we needed and then some.

Had a great stay

The place was great for us. Roomy, clean, quiet. It's close to TC and all it offers, but out in the country. Just realize that this is an 2nd story apartment, and you need to climb a flight of stairs to get in.

Absolutely fantastic stay at John’s property! From the start, John was a great communicator, making the check-in process smooth and hassle-free. The home itself is incredibly cozy and impeccably clean, providing a perfect retreat. The location is ideal, just a short drive to downtown Traverse City.

About the host

Hosted by John B

Host profile image
Growing up in a beachfront town, he loves to swim and spend time playing beach volleyball.

As a high school junior he jumped at the opportunity to work on the beach for a local jet ski rental eventually working his way into a management role. His passion for boating grew through his college years as he became an avid wakeboarder. John then spent several years working with families and children as a local math teacher.

This background lends itself well to the customer service, now he can frequently be seen as the morning sun rises, with a smile on his face and his toes in the sand!

Why they chose this property

This spacious 2.5 acre property has long captivated my attention. Nestled just outside of downtown it makes the perfect place to live while being minutes from everything.

What makes this property unique

Whatever season suits you there is something for everyone for almost every outdoor sport for every season. This bungalow will allow you to be close to the downtown action but not constantly fighting traffic and crowds.
