Impeccably clean, neat, and tidy. Room for myself and my three grown sons (25,23,&20) for sleeping, eating, relaxing, and having much needed family time. Everything we needed was pretty close, too. Definitely 5 stars!! Tano's right up there with our SD Vrbo stay.

Lovely Girls’ Weekend!

What an absolutely amazing trip that started with thoughtful communication from Stacey. The reviews are correct! Stacey is kind, caring, and was on the ready for help and great recommendations for the area. She even guided us toward chasing Northern Lights…which we saw and were out of this world! The apt was cozy and convenient to all our Traverse City exploring! We look forward to visiting again. Thank, Stacey, for your kindness…it was such a wonderful experience! Danielle

Amazing rental and wonderful host!

I booked this rental my family and in-laws. From the start, my situation got complicated but Stacy was so helpful and accommodating. The location is less than a mile from downtown Traverse City and 3 blocks from a great small beach and playground -the location is perfect. I would recommend to anyone, maybe not with the whole extended family next time 😉

We decided to make a stop over for the night in Traverse City since we haven’t been in the area in many years. We enjoyed the day visiting Suttons Bay, Northport and Leland. We were able to check in relax and then have dinner at a wonderful restaurant in the Mission Peninsula. The apartment was really convenient to all the areas.
