***We manage other properties in the area. Please inquiry with us if you are coming with a lager group***

- Check-in/out: Please note during our peak season (June-September) we discourage late check-outs and early check-ins due to the tight turn-around schedules of our cleaning teams. We are happy to allow for an early check-in or late check-out if our cleaning team is able to accommodate the request and still allow the rental to be cleaned to our quality standards and specifications. All early check-ins and late check-outs will be charged a $250.00 additional fee for this expedited service.  We are able to accommodate early check-in and late check-outs during our off season (October-May) for a reduced fee of $50.00, please contact us for further information.

- Longer stays: Please be aware guest stays longer than 10-days will require mid-stay cleaning. Mid-stay cleaning fees are the same amount as the fee charged during booking. A weekly cleaning and linen/towel exchange is required for long-term guest stays, short-term guest stays may request a mid-stay cleaning for an extra fee. 

- Security deposit: Please note that 3 days before check in time, we will place a temporary pre-authorization hold of $500 on your card. This hold verifies fund availability and covers potential incidental expenses during your stay. The hold will be released 7 days within check-out, pending no outstanding charges or damages. Your privacy and security are paramount, and all card information is handled confidentially.

- Cancellations: Please check the cancellation policy on your booking platform. Please note that even if you are eligible for a full refund, a credit card processing fee will be deducted.

Guests consistently enjoy a fantastic experience in this beautifully appointed and clean accommodation, conveniently located near downtown attractions, restaurants, and outdoor activities. The responsive and friendly hosts ensure a seamless stay, making it a perfect home base for memorable trips with family and friends.

Five star review for this place!  We had a last minute change of plans and were lucky enough to secure this place with only 5 days notice, wow did we luck out :)

Communication was timely and excellent. Lots of info available for the townhouse, local places in town and things to do in the whole area. Brand new amenities, lots of little touches to make you feel like you're home - we felt so spoiled. Loved the garage access, super helpful in the rain and it will be invaluable in the winter too.

We had six adults and there was enough space to start each day with a home cooked breakfast (well stocked kitchen) and then make it our home base for all of our adventures thru the weekend.  

Would definitely stay here again, or any of their properties based on this experience.  Kudos!!

Working in traverse city so this was so convenient.  Am booking this for my next stay.

We had a great stay! Clean. Easy Check-In. A very kid friendly place. Plus, the Library, Children’s garden, and indoor rock climbing wall are right nearby via the TART trail. Plenty to do for the whole family.

Perfect place for our girls trip. Close to downtown shopping and restaurants, clean and tidy, easy communication with host. Would stay again.

Property was very clean and organized with everything you would need and very thoughtful amenities (soaps, shampoo, etc. even olive oil and cooking spray!). They even provided treats and bowls and a bed for our dog. Communication was great too. Location was walkable to downtown and several restaurants. Highly recommended!
