Beautiful Victorian Home Close to beaches-Close To Downtown/Shops/Restaurants

1896 Victorian home, completely remodeled for today's comfort, but the historic charm remains. For your peace of mind, we take our cleaning seriously. Nice front lawn for the kids to play or to spend relaxing evenings with a glass of wine. Central location within a few blocks walking or biking distance to West Bay beaches, Downtown Traverse City, TART Trail, the dog park, and the Historic State Hospital grounds. Conveniently located near West Side Beverage, known for their vast selection, Slab Town Burgers, and a brew pub opening across the street in the summer of 2022.

The two story house features a great kitchen, stocked with any tools you may need, including a gas grill on the deck. The three bedrooms all have wall-mounted flat screen TVs with comfortable beds (queen, queen, bunk bed with a full below, twin on top plus a pull-out twin trundle). The living room couch is a super comfy sectional. There is a beautiful full bath with a double vanity, rainfall shower, soaking tub, plus a half-bath upstairs. Other amenities include cable, WiFi, full-size washer and dryer, central air conditioning, a full-basement with a work-out area, and private parking. Great for families! Great food, great shopping, and fun entertainment. We do have a three night minimum stay, except in our high-demand month of July which requires a six night minimum stay.

We do welcome one dog with an additional fee of $25 per night. You must check the pet box when booking. We are on-sight owners and if you bring a dog without checking the box, the price doubles. We understand the desire to have all of your family members with you on vacation, but there is additional wear and tear, extra cleaning, and yard maintenance required.

Please know that we have added two additional rental properties right next door that can be found at VRBO 2204221 and 3954989. These beautiful condos are each 1300 square feet with spacious two-bedroom, two-bath open concept floor plans. They both have a large, 12'x12' covered balcony for enjoying a cocktail or two:)

Great location and beautiful, charming family house. We walked to the downtown area and strolled to the lake every evening. The house was well stocked (kitchen and bathrooms), very clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the small deck off the back door. Highly recommend. Can easily park four cars for larger parties.

The house was the perfect size for our family and dog. The kitchen and bathroom were large and modern and the bedrooms were cozy. The location was in a residential neighborhood and not too far to walk to downtown Traverse City as well as some local restaurants and a coffee shop. Our dog loved walking to the lake each morning.

We (4 adults, 1 toddler, 1 dog) had a wonderful stay at this home over Thanksgiving! This home literally has everything you need, and then some. It’s in a great location with several restaurants nearby. The hosts very quickly handled clearing snow, which was a level of service I don’t often see in rentals - so appreciated! Highly recommend this home!

We had a great stay. The property was very well equipped. The hosts put a lot of thought into every small detail that guests may need. They were also very communicative and friendly. It was a great location and easily walkable from downtown. I highly recommend the sandwiches from the liquor store next to the house! Our only complaint was that the upstairs mattress was very soft but overall we had a great stay.

This is a lovely home away from home. The kitchen is really well equipped for those who want to make family dinners and breakfasts and all the rooms are comfortable. We found the location to be prefect for us—walking distance to the gorgeous lake and, in the other direction, to good restaurants, a grocery store and a CVS. There's easy access to everything you need and the owners of the home are friendly, too!

Charming and convenient

The house is an artful blend of modern bath and kitchen while preserving the wonderful features of a Victorian house. It felt very comfortable. Both my husband and I and our daughter’s family live in homes from the late 1800s so we appreciate what a great renovation this house is. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and dishes. There were plenty of towels. The beds were comfortable. It’s within walking distance of restaurants and shops. Absolutely no complaints. I would stay there again if going to Traverse City in the future .
