Studio with a beautiful view of the water

We had a wonderful time staying at this condo. It is only 15 minutes from Traverse City yet you are far enough away to relax. We enjoyed drinking coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening while relaxing on the balcony. The view was amazing. The bed is very comfortable and the place is very well-furnished. Thank you!

Perfect for a weekend getaway

My husband and I stayed for an extended weekend, and wanted a quiet location for the evening. This was perfect! Under an hour drive to the sleeping bear dunes park for a day trip and close to many wineries/Traverse City. Clean room and comfy bed, and clear/consistent communication from the host, would recommend to anyone looking for a simple room to relax in at night!

Great place to relax for the 2 of us

The condo was exactly as advertised and very clean and well cared for. My wife and I stayed for 3 nights and it was very peaceful and relaxing. We were out everyday from nearly sunrise to after sunset, so we really didn't get a great opportunity to enjoy the beautiful view, but even at night it was quite pretty. Wish we could have been here in warmer weather so that we could have explored the outdoor areas of the property more. Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes are our favorite place in the state and this condo was a great place to base our long weekend. The owners checked in with us in an email during our stay and even left us a bottle of wine! We would definitely recommend this condo for a cozy and peaceful stay.

All the comfort you need!

This is a small studio that provides you with enough conveniences and comfort for a relaxing vacation. This was a lay back and relax 4 day journey for us with a little bit of rain so it was well worth the price to have the water view. While you won't be cooking major meals here, the host has provided enough dishes, utensils, cups and glasses to cook or heat up some simple breakfasts and/or dinners. The host was immediatel. y responsive to the few questions we had. Unit was very clean. Adequate towel supply, paper and cleaning products, salt, pepper, oil, health and beauty products were appreciated. We lacked for nothing. While you do not have access to the pool, we discovered that there is a little community park right next to the driveway into the property and within walking distance that provides additional options for short walks, alternate beach options, picnic tables, and grills. (bring mosquitto spray!) Just one suggestion to the host - would be very helpful to have something larger than a 7-inch frying pan. The other pan options were adequate! Great location just outside the busiest part of Traverse City. So much to do in the area. We chose concert at Interlochen, golf at Elk Rapids Country Club, Dinner at McGees (super!), and the casino! Thanks Katie!

Relaxing Getaway

We wanted to visit the Traverse City area (as we had never been to that part of Michigan before). This condo was a great location for us. We found it to be relaxing and quiet. The view was nice and we enjoyed walking the nearby beach and wooded area. Everything we needed for 4-1/2 days was available. The condo was clean with everything we needed and Kati is a great host!

Traverse City Stay

I highly recommend this stay. The view is beautiful! My husband and I really enjoyed sitting on the porch. Lots of wildlife is attracted to this little area. We saw ducks, swans, and even deer! The condo is beautiful and super clean! The location was great. We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay again.

Perfect little spot for upnorth getaway

The room was exceptionally clean. Very quaint and quiet spot, easy to access. The bed was comfy, room had everything we needed. Shower pressure was fantastic! We came up to the area for R & R and it was the perfect spot for it. The property manager was easy to contact. Had we had any issues I'm sure they would have been taken care of, but luckily there were none. We have already talked about coming back!

Kati was friendly and very easy to communicate with. Her instructions on how to get to the condo made it easy to find. The condo was clean and comfy.

Traverse Lake

The condo was exactly as described. Perfect for two people. Plenty of towels and supplies. The view was lovely. Great place to watch the sunset. We did coffee and bagels and friut on the porch in the morning. Kitchen would be too small to do a full breakfast but good for the small stuff. It was just what we looking for. We highly recommend the condo. We would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Kati

My husband and I moved to the Traverse City area about 10 years ago and fell in love with it immediately. I'm a native of Germany and my husband is from the Western end of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We decided to purchase this condo because of it's perfect location on East Bay. What a perfect place to enjoy everything that Traverse City and the surrounding area has to offer!

Why they chose this property

The view is unbelievable. You can't get closer to the water. I love sitting on the balcony reading and drinking my morning coffee.
