Smittys TC Victorian Carriage House Meets Urban Loft Granite, Maple, Stainless

This is a one of a kind property built in 2007. The home features 13' high exposed steel truss ceilings with R65 insulation and central AC, industrial RLM lighting, extensive detailed Victorian style hardwood mill work, granite countertops, maple flooring throughout, ceramic tile bathroom with large 2 person shower, Kohler fixtures, leather furniture, 65" 4K 3D HDTV with Blue Ray, CD, DVD, etc.

Internet radio fans will love the Denon X1000 network AV receiver with Klipsch surround system. There is a front loading washer and dryer on premises in addition to a 2nd floor deck (with padded wicker furniture) which opens off the smaller bedroom.

Bringing your toys? As a "carriage house style" home the property can potentially store your toys (motorcycles, bicycles, jet skis, ATV's, and small boats) indoors securely out of the weather should that be a concern.

The house was perfect for our family of 4. Everything was clean, kitchen fully stocked with all the equipment we needed. Being able to park in the garage was great, and the check in process/responsiveness of the owner was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend and look forward to staying here again.

This property is beautiful! We were so happy with our stay. James has done a great job making this carriage house extra special with beautiful crown molding & a variety of lighting fixtures, updated appliances, a fully-stocked kitchen, games, extra bedding, and even beach chairs. We also loved having the private 3-car garage for our bikes. If you want to go downtown on foot it's a 25 minute walk, but doable. We drove in, which took 6 minutes max. We would stay here again without hesitation. Thank you James for sharing such a one-of-a-kind space with us!

Summer Trip to Sleeping Bear & Traverse City

This property was a great base camp for our time in Traverse City. It’s only a couple of minutes from Front Street by car, and was easy to access the highway to Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. There is also a grocery store and bakery just down the street.

We really enjoyed our stay here. First it is conveniently located to many different activities in and around Traverse City. It's in a neighborhood setting which we wanted, not in a condominium type of building. The availability of the garage is an added bonus, quite large - it easily fit a long wheel base pickup truck. The kitchen was very nicely equipped and very functional. Very comfortable furniture. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will definitely rent again. Communications with the owner are excellent - super guy to work with.

Spacious, clean, easy. Location only fair

James was very easy to correspond with and arriving and departing were no problem. Garage for car, spacious, clean. From prior reviews it appeared to be a very walkable, central neighborhood, but in our opinion that wasn't necessarily the case. The immediate neighborhood was a bit odd and felt sort of fringe-ey, so while it was in close enough proximity to the things we wanted to do, it wasn't a place we felt we wanted to walk from or hang around outside at, and this surprised us based on prior reviews.

The best two bedroom home I've ever stayed in. There is no skimping here on finish or amenities.

This place was so great! Our party was one couple with a 9 month old child and one without. My wife, our daughter, and myself all stayed in the north bedroom without the balcony, while the other couple stayed in the south bedroom with a balcony. This was so clutch to be able to put our daughter down for the night in a separate room, while we could all still enjoy ourselves. Each night when we got home we would put her down, and then the 4 of us would go out on the balcony to relax, and added bonus of not needing to regulate noise volume. The living room furniture is so comfortable, huge tv, high ceilings with a very hip industrial feel, helps make everything feel bigger and more open. Strongly recommend this space and will definitely book again when we return!

WOW! Beautiful Home and available host!

James was available for our every beck and call. He built this place himself. Who who expect such a beautiful VRBO. Number one, it was spotless and everything was like new. And I would have never expected such attention to detail! Beautiful Wainscoting, gorgeous doors, really unique wood steps with lights in them as you come in from the garage. It was in the most perfect location! My daughter could sit on the upper deck, but she preferred sitting on the driveway watching the Blue Angels perform. It was close enough to ride her bike to town, which she did. He had a HUGE garage that she kept her truck in, or any other recreational vehicles you had could fit in there. AND, my soon to be 20yo grandson said he had an awesome sound system. We can’t wait to rent this gem again!

Perfect spot for our guests

Our friends came to stay for a long weekend, and we wanted them to have their own space away from the chaos of our kid- and pet-filled home to enjoy their time in TC. This home was perfect! Very convenient for downtown TC, with access to all of the great restaurants and shops. It was very nice to be able to pull a car into the garage - I could see this being a big advantage for winter guests. The home was quite clean and well-appointed, and all appliances worked perfectly. It does take a moment to get used to squirrels dropping acorns on the metal roof though! All in all, it was a great spot, and we would definitely rent it again.

A Wonderful Place to Stay in Traverse City

We had a great time staying at this VRBO and would recommend to anyone! The location was great - 15 minute walk to downtown Traverse City. Also only 2 blocks to the grocery store. Great location for seeing other destinations nearby Traverse City - during our stay we also explored Sleeping Bear Dunes (~30 minute drive) and Charlevoix (~ 1 hour drive). The property was very clean, comfortable beds, nice kitchen, garage parking - everything you could want. James was a great host and easy to communicate with.
