Lovely property perfectly located for exploring TC area

The property was conveniently located to downtown Traverse City and the surrounding wine country. Everything was very comfortable and had such thoughtful amenities provided in every room. The one thing I would add is a second comfy chair in the living room area but other than that, the place was perfect for our group and we very much enjoyed our stay!

First Family Vacation of 5

I couldn't have been happier with our stay here in TC. We traveled with our family of an almost 4 yo, almost 2 yo, and an 8 week old and the apartment was so wonderful for us all! The location is prime and close to a lot of good stuff. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in the TC area!
