About this property

๐Ÿ–๏ธ Bayview Retreat @ The Shores | 1 Suite + 2 Patios | Wooded Lake Views โž  5677

  • Bayview Retreat @ The Shores, Traverse City

    One suite. Two patios. One peaceful escape. Tucked along the wooded edge of East Grand Traverse Bay, this updated ground-floor condo at The Shores is part of Grand Traverse Resort, with peek-a-boo lake views and direct beach access just steps away.

    The king bedroom is en-suite with its own private patio, and the living room adds a queen sleeper sofa with its own patio access โ€” 2 full bathrooms in total. The full kitchen is stocked for real cooking, with indoor dining for 4 plus patio dining space.

    Please note before booking: due to a recent Grand Traverse Resort policy change, pool and hot tub access is not included with this suite. Guests can arrange same-day access by booking a paid spa treatment at the resort's wellness center.

    600 feet of shared private beach sits just outside, with seasonal kayak, SUP, and boat rentals on site, plus public beach access and BBQ grills nearby.

    Grand Traverse Resort is just minutes away, with downtown Traverse City about 15 minutes further and Sleeping Bear Dunes under an hour away.

    With an en-suite bedroom, wooded water views, and two private patios to unwind on, this suite is a peaceful base for your next Traverse City escape. We'd love to have you stay with us.

Perfect little condo

Nice location, less than average accommodations.

This unit was quite disappointing. It merits a 2 star rating. Unit was not clean, flatware drawers were dirty with food drippings on the silverware. Kitchen was poorly supplied. Linens on the beds are wore out. Pillows on the beds were stained and had no liners on them. Bathrooms had hair deposits on the counter tops, sinks and tubs. Pillows on the sofa are soiled. Clearly low standards and not sanitized.

Nice getaway with friends

The Condo was very nice. Only a couple issues. TV kept going out on us. Could not find the info on the tv until we were ready to leave. Rented a 2 bed to bath. The bath by the kitchen the tub shower did not work. So my friend had to shower in the other bathroom. But it was in a nice location. Would stay here again but in another Condo in that complex.
