Commongrounds Fir Tree House:307
Great stay, cute place. I think it’s newer so everything was updated. Bed was comfortable. Just about all kitchen essentials to cook. The building was very unique and cool. It’s co-op, so eclectic variety of fun offerings. From entertainment to food. Restaurant was very good, coffee shop also nice. Close to front street and beach, but without the noise. Overall wonderful stay. Only complaint was they had bright lights everywhere in the apartment, think office lights, which gives some people (like myself) migraines. Thankfully there was one lamp in living room that was softer warm light which was used at night. Recommend introducing lights that aren’t the brightest available. Still, wonderful stay and highly recommend.

Front St Lofts in Downtown TC
This place was great for large groups. We stayed for a bachelorette party and it was the perfect location, easy to find, and a great set up. Chad and his team were easy to contact if we had a question or issue (the keypad had to be reset when we first got there, but they answered immediately and fixed it). The view is also fantastic.

Gorgeous Grand Traverse Bay Beach Front Condo
This was a perfect place to stay for a few days while in the area for a conference. The place was clean and comfortable. The beach access was a nice added bonus.

Relax On Beautiful Silver Lake Near Traverse City.
My partner and I’s stay at Jeffrey and Holly’s suite was outstanding. The space felt incredibly homely, with cozy decor and thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. It was spotless and well-equipped with snacks, coffee, beach amenities, you name it - and we loved using their kayaks for exploring Silver Lake. They were friendly and provided smooth check-in instructions. The price for the area far beats any hotel we could have booked considering how comfortable, clean, and private the unit was. As other reviews said, mechanical noises and footsteps can be heard, but this did not bother us at all. We loved this unit so much, we will probably check the availability for our next trip to TC. This was hands down the best AirBNB we’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!

The Loft 14
Loved this place! Perfect for a trip to Traverse City! Easy access to the surrounding city and downtown, and the private access to the beach was worth the stay here. Definitely recommend!

Cypress Street Escape
My husband and I had such a relaxing stay at Linda's! We came for three nights for a family vacation and my sister and my mom both had separate AirBNBs in the same building. Linda's Condo was so nice. When they stopped in, they were so surprised at how nice and clean it was compared to theirs. Linda had all the amenities and was so communicative every step of the way. We loved the little touches she brought to help us have an amazing stay. We will definitely be back!

Attic Studio
Right on Main Street, just a couple minute walk to the heart of downtown Leland. The perfect home base for relaxing in between beach walks, swimming, shopping, and eating. The attic was larger than pictures showed! There was pretty much everything you’d need to feel comfortable. Nicolle was very inviting and easy to communicate with. Hopefully we’ll be back again!

Luxury on Chandler Lake, with kayaks! Close to TC!
We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at Daphne & Will's gorgeous home. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement – their space was filled with tasteful decorations, thoughtful touches, and high-quality finishes and furnishings. There was no way we could use every amenity available on a short 3-day stay, but that's all the more reason to come back and enjoy the space again sometime in the future. We particularly enjoyed the fireplace, view of the trees and lake, and comfy sofa – perfect for a relaxing trip. Will and Daphne struck the perfect balance of responsiveness, giving space, and friendliness. Airbnb perfection.

Lakefront Ranch Getaway: Private Beach on West Bay
The house was just as described. The hosts were very responsive to messages. The kitchen had what we needed to cook meals. There was lots of extra,unexpected, things that were great. The makeup remover pads, all of the soap, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap, even detergent were all provided. Plus there was plenty of hot water for 5 adults to shower. Our pups loved the fenced yard. The view is exactly like the pictures show. We would definitely recommend! Heather & Joe

Hot Tub & West Bay Waterfront - All Decked Out
This house is just as promised in all the photos. A beautiful house with a gorgeous view. Kitchen was equipped with all you need to do cooking or dining in while staying. All the spaces were clean and tidy with all the little things thought of like little throw blankets in the living areas to use, to puzzles and family & group friendly games. The hot tub overlooking the private lake access was perfect to enjoy in the evenings. Also the location! Cant beat it, close enough to downtown Traverse City to enjoy all the shopping and restaurants but far enough up on the peninsula to be close to many wineries and the downtown Sutton Bay area. We would definitely recommend this house and will be back when were in the area again.

Beautiful Traverse City Lakehouse - pets allowed
Host was super quick to responds and sent a ton of info of things to do in the area. A very nice, peaceful time on the lake.

The Kaiser House *3 minutes to Down Town *Sleeps 8
Place was exactly as described. Perfect location for our needs and the ability to bring our dogs was a huge plus. House was spacious and well kept. Would stay here again

The Triple L (The Long Lake Life)
Beautiful lakefront property. The host is very kind and always responsive. The host includes so many amenities letting you make the most of the ease of access to the lake. Plenty of space for a big family trip. The location is very close to Trevor City. Yuu are a little close to the road but that isn't too bad. I would definitely love to book again closer to summer. It was a little cold for water activites during our trip. the rooms are bigger than they look in the pictures which is really nice. I would definitely stay again.

Pet Friendly 3/2 Lakeside Retreat in Traverse City
It was a lovely place with lots of activities to participate in outdoors. We use the dock and the kayaks and the lake itself was easy to navigate. Lots of wildlife to see. Close enough to town to feel like it was easy to get there, but far enough away to feel Relaxed. We brought our dogs with us and they fit right into the situation and did very well.

Stunning Views from Boardman Lake Penthouse
Thank you for a wonderful time. Great condo with beautiful views. We used the cook friendly kitchen a few times. The tv in the master was truly appreciated. We enjoyed the easy to use fireplace which warmed up the entire condo. Walking distance to right brain brewing with lots of pinball machines and to traverse city whiskey Nice bath and walking path and a super quick ride to the much loved cooperative grocery.

New, Downtown Condo with Patio (Best Location)!
Overall very functional apartment for a couple in a desirable location. Very clean and decent amenities. Easy check in and check out. Comes with parking spot which is essential in that location. Fairly quiet. Door lock is somewhat finicky and took 2-3 tries to open door.

Downtown w/Hot tub, on Front St w/ Bay view! 3
The location was amazing, very peaceful for it being right in downtown TC. I would go back for another stay!

Golf View Condo on Grand Traverse Resort
Fabulous place to call home for a few days for a conference being held at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa. Holly was the consummate host, communicative and helpful with questions. If you are a golfer, you can't find a better spot.

TC Lake Stay-Pontoon & SUP Rentals-King Room!
Great place! We loved the lake and the lake views. I also loved that there was a beach and pontoon boat rentals were on-site!

East Bay Waterfront Studio
We will definitely book this place again if we need to be close to the Grand Traverse Resort again. Its very clean, very comfortable, and the the views are really nice. It's just far away enough from downtown to be quiet and peaceful.

New 1-bedroom Condo w/garage at The Village
Great location. You are right in the woods with the crickets and squirrels, out the back and restaurants and shopping across the parking area out the front. Laura was super responsive for a couple of small questions we had. It's a very special location and very well tended.

Exquisite beach resort condo on lake Michigan
We stayed here for the Iceman bike race. It was a great location for our needs. Mike was proactive and gave us all instructions needed for check-in well in advance. Place was as described and had everything we needed. Would recommend!
