My sisters and I loved our stay at “Smitty’s”! The home is beautiful and comfortable. The location was ideal for taking side trips. Also, it was very nice being able to park in the garage for safety and convenience.
We enjoyed our stay a lot. The apartment is nicely decorated, has comfortable furniture, and is well stocked. The garage was a nice bonus. Check-in was super easy. We would definitely stay here again!
Nice accommodations for our family of 3 and convenient location for all our activities. Host was responsive to our questions and it was a great stay for us.
The proprietor provided very good directions for our arrival and departure and was available by text or call for questions. Everything was clean and ready for our arrival. The location was convenient to shopping and attractions. And the available garage made coming and going so convenient. We had some rain and didn’t have to worry about getting ourselves or our packages wet.
We loved our stay - the location was great and the property was clean and well cared for. There is an excellent ice cream shop and bakery within walking distance that my kids loved visiting and everyone was very friendly and helpful with property questions.
I loved this property! When you walk up the stairs to the upper level you will be amazed with the home! This is an entire home all to yourself. The lower level is a garage. Great quiet neighborhood and only minutes from the water and Front street. We will definitely stay here again. Stunning!
This loft was cozy, comfortable, and charming. It was the perfect size for 4 adults. The bed was comfortable with cotton sheets. The living area was open with comfortable, spacious seating. The location was easy to access and drive to Turtle Stadium, Grand Traverse Commons, Moomers, and the downtown area. We were able to park both cars in the attached garage and there was still room for bikes and scooters. I really liked that the area was residential and would definitely stay here again.
Our stay was great. The home was very clean and had everything you need. The location was perfect for every where you would want to go around Traverse City.
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.
Great location on edge of downtown. The loft feels like you’re in a treehouse with the mature trees swaying in the breeze! Beautiful decor, Host has thought of all the details for a very enjoyable stay!
This little spot was perfect for our little weekend stay! It was clean, cozy, and so close to so many great spots!! We will definitely keep this place in mind for future trips!
This property is gorgeous, very clean and excellent location. Great communication with owners. Definitely a favorite for us. We’ll be returning for future trips!
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.
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!

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.
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.
