Bay Town Studio - Cozy location walking distance from downtown

We visit Traverse City a couple of times a year. After staying at Bay Town Studio we realized we have been missing out on a beautiful and peaceful part of town. We love to walk and enjoyed the lovely homes, gardens and parks as we walked to the downtown area. Our accommodations were prestine and Jody is an awesome host!

We love living in Traverse City and we love to travel. One thing we've learned through travelling is how much we like staying with or meeting someone who knows the lay of the land.

We enjoy beach time, dining out, great music, having fun with friends, and meeting new people. Bay Town Suite/Studio is our way of creating a business that capitalizes on our interests and expertise, while allowing us the freedom to enjoy and share the beauty of Traverse City.

-Jody is a 26 year veteran middle school teacher in Traverse City. She is the "CEO" of Bay Town Suite/Studio (great summer job!)
-Norm is semi-retired and living his best life with our wonder pup Yzie. He delivers mail on Mondays, and is Bay Town Suite/Studio property maintenance, co-manager, and fixer of everything.
