Great place, everything as advertised. Super clean, everything we needed was there. We liked the location, 5min drive to Traverse City. Grocery store was 1/2 mile away, restaurant a couple blocks away, Bryant beach is right at the end of Garfield, TART is just behind the unit. The place is close enough to downtown yet is far enough away to keep you away from all the traffic and congestion.
