The Nest was the Best

The condo was beautiful and clean and had everything we needed for our 4 day stay. The bedrooms were big and had comfortable beds! My husband and son spent lots of time on the huge balcony playing cornhole. We loved the commons area it was such a cool place with cute stores and great food. It was in a perfect location not right in town but only about 5 minutes away. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful place near downtown

We hosted a small bachelorette here and had a wonderful time! The place is beautiful and has anything you could need to make your stay comfortable. It’s only a five minute drive to downtown and 25 minutes to the wineries. We had a great time and highly recommend staying at The Nest!

Perfect blend....

Like the coffee the host provides (and wine!), this condo property is a perfect blend - of a comfortable home and nature trails, of spaciousness and intimacy, of privacy and accessibility to wonderful and quirky restaurants and shops. Tastefully decorated and fully supplied, this property truly feels like a warm, gracious "nest," as it is called. So much room and so many things to do - we'll bring friends next time.

A perfect winter get away

This condo was a perfect winter getaway for our family. This beautiful, cozy condo is located on the magnificent Grand Traverse property that has everything….shopping, a coffee shop, a wine shop, restaurants and my favorite - hiking trails. Downtown Traverse city is only a few minutes away. We really appreciate how responsive the owner was to all of our questions. If you are looking for the perfect place to stay, this is it 😊

About the host

Hosted by Kevin

Greetings, I am a Traverse City area native and have recently realized a dream of owning property in one of American's great towns. You all make it possible and I love sharing my home with folks seeking to visit the area. I pride myself on quick, effective, and proactive communication. We give our guests space but are always available when needed. Edgar, The Traverse City Sherpa, is a call away during your stay. He is available for tips, tricks, and the local perspective/scoop you won't find online.

We strive to be readily available to assist with any hospitality needs before, during, and after your time in our home. Feel free to ask any questions or request any guidance.

What makes this property unique

This is a truly unique property on the Grand Traverse Commons Campus - one of America's great renovation and intentional development achievement's. Located in one of the more modern buildings, but surrounded by extremely unique and powerful mental health history, who's story will warm your heart. All in the heart of Traverse City and minutes away from all it has to offer.

"Therapy through Beauty" was one of the constant themes Traverse City State Hospital embodied, and we look to carry that on for any type of traveler to grace our property.
