Nicel long weekend in TC

Everything was exactly as advertised. The property owner, Jodi, is very attentive and has even created a nice short video to assist with arrival. The unit is freshly decorated and very clean. The location is great - far enough out of downtown to escape the busy, but close enough to walk if you wanted.

Felt Like Visiting Friends – Not Just a VRBO!

We had an amazing long weekend getaway in Traverse City and can’t say enough good things about our stay! From the moment we booked, Jody and Norm were phenomenal hosts—responsive, detailed, and genuinely welcoming. Their guest guidebook had everything we needed, and they even had the bikes ready a week early so we could enjoy a peaceful ride to breakfast.The home itself is charming, modern, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The location is ideal—just a few blocks from the social district and approximately a mile from Front Street, making it easy to enjoy local restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. And if you're planning to visit the wineries on Old Mission Peninsula, it's a straight and scenic drive.A special shoutout to their sweet pup Yzie—she’ll become your best friend if you’re willing to toss the ball a few times! We even enjoyed a friendly evening spending time with Jody and Norm over a bottle of wine, just chatting and getting to know each other. They are truly wonderful people who go above and beyond to make your stay memorable.We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Fantastic stay at this gem in Traverse City! The owners clearly care about making sure everything is just right for those staying with them, attending to seemingly small things like providing detailed instructions about use of tv and thermostat, to the much bigger things like providing great recs for places to go and restaurants to try. The room itself is spacious and the bed so comfortable. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Many thanks!
