About this house rental

Live large! Picture yourself in downtown Traverse City this summer: take your shoes off, head up to the rooftop deck with a beverage and watch the boats on the bay. When you’re ready, put your bathing suit on, grab the beach chairs, cross the street and take a dip in the bay. Hungry? Choose from over 30 restaurants in a six-block radius or run to our high-end neighborhood market for local produce, wine, fresh meat, and seafood to bring home and prepare a meal in the gourmet kitchen.
You’ll find every amenity you need in our fully furnished home. It’s only available in the summer, so take advantage early for this unique opportunity. We offer a fully appointed kitchen, two bedrooms with comfortable new mattresses: one KING and one QUEEN, and two full baths. There is also a queen sofa bed in the loft. If you are here during the Fourth of July or Cherry Festival, you can watch the air show and fireworks from the rooftop deck.

Our home also features a hot tub and gas fire pit on the third-floor decks. We provide beach chairs and towels for your convenience, along with a washer and dryer. There is a 50-inch flat-screen TV with Bluetooth soundbar.

The first floor has a separate efficiency apartment. All the floors are 4" thick concrete, so you will not likely to hear any noise. However, we ask that after 10 p.m., noise is kept to a minimum. Due to triple pane windows and super insulation, you will not hear any exterior noise inside the house.

We are being selective about who we rent to; we are looking for people who will love our house as much as we do. We are seasoned VRBO travelers and know what's important when it comes to selecting the perfect place to stay. We will be nearby to assist you with anything you need. We offer a comprehensive, online guide to our house and the surrounding areas.

** PLEASE NOTE: Major road construction will be happening throughout Traverse City this summer, including Grandview Parkway, the road that runs along West Bay, so expect delays and detours.** Search Traverse City Ticker (traverseticker.com) articles for full details.

You can connect to miles of paved trails just across the street. Mountain bikers will enjoy 3-25k loops at the Vasa trail system or at the newly developed Palmer Woods property in Leelanau County. Hiking and fly fishing are superb on the Boardman Ottaway River, a blue-ribbon trout stream. Just 30 minutes to the north, Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore was recently named the most beautiful place in America.

There are museums - the north's only children's museum and Dennos Museum, which holds the largest collection of Inuit art in the US. There are numerous art galleries. Our downtown is one of the most vibrant in the state, with unique shops, restaurants, independent book stores, tasting rooms and Friday Night Live in August, when they close the streets and open to music and family friendly activities.

Named a top-five Foodie Town by Bon Appetit, we love our local restaurants and will point you in the right direction. The best bakery in town is a half block away and you can often smell fresh bread and cinnamon rolls baking at night. There are a number of wineries on both our peninsulas, and microbreweries and distilleries abound.

Traverse City is home to the State Theatre, just named the top small theater in the country - you can walk to the State and its sister theater, Bijou by the Bay. Art and first-run films are shown at the theater, along with kid's 25-cent matinees. If you enjoy reading, check out the National Writers Series, which hosts best selling authors and rich discussion.

Walk, bike or drive to our many restaurants, wineries, breweries, bars and food trucks.

Come for all our festivals, for the Great Lakes, for family and new friends. Use our place as a hub for all your explorations to the surrounding counties!

Just down the block -
Bay Bakery - the best bakery in town.
Frenchies (Breakfast and Lunch)
Sleders Restaurant - kiss the moose!
Dairy Lodge Ice Cream
Burritt’s Market – local produce, fresh meat and seafood and great wine selection
Mary’s Kitchen Port – best grab and go sandwiches in town.

ABSOLUTELY NO PETS OR SMOKING. I have severe allergies.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Great location and very well stocked. Nice floor plan for two couples. Easy to walk to downtown for restaurants and shops. Bob was very responsive and attentive. Would definitely stay again.

We booked for the week of the National Cherry Festival and fourth of July. The property was perfectly located for both. We've done OBX, Maine, and Rehoboth beaches for our last few years summer vacations but think we actually prefer the Lake beaches -- less to worry about with our 6 year old swimming. We were actually surprised at how nice the sand bwaches were and how much our son enjoyed them even with the.colder waters. Would come back, but not during NCF or July 4th. Great for a one time thing, but the crowds were intense.

Great location in Traverse City
Great location in Traverse City
We had a great stay at this property. The home was extremely clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. The central a/c was a life saver as our week was very hot and humid. Parking is great and even the beach chairs/cooler available were good quality. The location is a few blocks from downtown and easily walkable to restaurants, beach, and shops. We didn't use the roof decks much or the hot tub due to the hot weather but they were well equipped as well and did look inviting. Bob was great on communication and responded quickly by text. If we travel back to TC we would definitely stay here again.

This was a wonderful stay. Close to so many locations and the house was filled with amenities. The owners made sure everything was perfect and if something wasn't they worked to get it resolved ASAP. Plenty of items in the house to keep you homebound too, with a great view of the water. Highly Recommend!!!
