Weekend in TC

Nice place for a long weekend in TC. Water everywhere. We had plenty of beach time in East Bay, West Bay and Lake Michigan. I think our dog had the most fun swimming in all 3. The place was stocked with all the essentials, clean, and just the right size for the 3 of us. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect home away from home!

The perfect home to stay in while on vacation! The location is in a quiet neighborhood but not far from downtown Traverse City and nearby shoppingand restaurants. The stay was comfortable and cozy. We had everything we needed and the hot tub is a plus! Great communication with the property owner! Would recommend and would definitely stay there again L

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
Unfortunately, the internet did not work for the entire duration of our stay, and we received little communication from the hosts about this issue. Having internet was a bit of a must as my husband was working remotely for a couple of days. Thankful for hotspots and Mundos which allowed him to connect. In addition, one neighbor was a bit passive-aggressive and not particularly friendly. Unfortunately, made for a bit of an unwelcome feeling during our stay, especially when we were outside in the backyard with our dogs. A full privacy fence would help mitigate this. Outside of this, we had a generally nice stay, and the space inside was comfortable and cozy. However, given the neighbors, the lack of a full privacy fence, and the lack of internet (with limited support from hosts to fix), we won’t be considering this property for future visits to Traverse City.
