Clean, Key Amenities, and Great Location

Other than the space meeting our expectations, we loved the historic building where it was repurposed for community needs. The on-site shops were fun to explore. Very close to downtown Traverse City. We would definitely stay again!

The perfect little gem of a stay!

I LOVED this location and studio. I could walk everywhere- coffee, food, hiking trails, quiet park. It was SO CLOSE to downtown. And easy access to all the wonderful thing TC has to offer. I enjoyed the patio area and really could stay here over and over! It was perfect for a solo stay and adventure

Crazy not to stay here

While it's a very small space, the description was spot on. The location was central to everything in Traverse City plus day trips to lighthouses, tunnel of trees, roadside curiosities, etc. We had a great time.

Cute place

Small apt but was all we needed for our weekend away! We love the history and area around the old hospital, it was definitely cool to stay in the renovated room and check out the little shops and we made a reservation to eat at the Stella restaurant! Check in was easy, the room was very clean and everything we expected.

Comfortable and lovely home base for exploring

A smidge larger than a hotel room, but so much nicer! Comfy bed, beautiful bathroom, great location. We loved having several choices for coffee and breakfast nearby (go to Sugar2Salt if you can!!). One tip—the second parking lot listed (not the fountain entrance) has a ramp into the building, which is much easier for handling luggage.

We enjoyed our stay at the cozy Traverse City Commons. Elizabeth’s listing was perfectly described and everything we needed was supplied.

Had a great 3 day stay here at traverse city. The Asylum area is really fun with lots to do within walking distance. Shops, winery, brewery, hiking, and good food. The room we stayed at was a small studio, but plenty of room for 2. Had everything we needed.

We love staying at Beth’s studio condo! The location is everything you could want, walking distance to Higher Grounds Coffee and Pepenero for dinner. The unit is cozy and comfortable. Parking is free and easy. Beth communicates so well. We’ll stay here again and again!

Anniversary weekend

We loved our stay at this delightful studio condo, perfect size and location for us. Clean and modern, with everything at hand that you need. The Village at TC is one of our favorite places to stroll, explore and photograph, and to actually stay on the grounds this time was truly a gift. We will be back in the future, to this same condo, hopefully. ❤️

A Suite Stay!

The cutest little suite in the Commons! We've been wanting to stay here for a while now and finally got our chance. Beth's place is so adorable, just what we needed for the two of us. Good location for us because we like to run and walk, so were within distance where we could do so to Old Town, Front Street and pathways/trails. Quiet building with old-time charm. Sadly, we did not hear or see any ghosts :) We wanted to take a twilight asylum tour, but sadly they weren't running on the nights we stayed. Next time!

Very enjoyable stay

The unit we were to stay in was unavailable, so we were placed in a larger space. A lovely one bedroom apartment. It was nice to be within few minutes walking distance of multiple restaurants as well as trails in the woods and shopping on the ground level. We had amazing meals at Salt2Sugar and Trattoria Stella. We also took a twilight tour of the grounds. Great place to stay for few days, close proximity/driving distance to downtown Traverse as well as multiple wineries on Mission Peninsula. The apartment was very clean, well furnished on quiet floor with views of the woods behind the building. Highly recommend, Beth was a great hostess and gave detailed descriptions of entering/exiting the building.

A great place to stay while out and about in the Cherry Capital

We picked to stay here because we were intrigued by the history of the building and all the amenities on site. It was a wonderful stay! This is a no-frills studio, but it was perfect for our needs and was much more comfortable than a hotel room. We would stay here again!

This was a lovely room in a quiet, beautiful setting. We enjoyed every moment in this piece of history. There’s so much to do in The Commons that you never have to leave the property. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the room was quiet and peaceful. I can’t wait to come back.
