Sweet Retreat, Close to Everything
My husband, son, and soon-to-be daughter-in-law enjoyed our weekend getaway at the Great Escape condo in Traverse City!
Comfortable, modern decor, cozy vibes, interesting reads, coffee and tea bar, all the little extras, even a small pet cuddler bed - for those traveling with a pet.
We traveled up to Northport, visiting Fishtowne, Sutton's Bay, Mission Point. We ate breakfast at The Towne Plaza, and dinner at North Peak.
We would definitely recommend The Great Escape to our friends/family and would happily stay again when in the area!
Thank you for a Great weekend Escape!
