This property is in a fantastic location. There is a dog park right across the street which our four-legged loved. The condo is quiet, clean and supplied with most anything you need.
The property is within walking distance to Beaches, Restaurants and downtown Traverse City. for a couple it's perfect place to stay.
Parking spaces where the size for European cars. Bed was foam and soft as a marshmallow. Not a good sleep. Only 1 set of towels and washcloths for 5 days. Great to have a washing machine to do the towels. Was close to everything downtown and easy walk. Pickleball starts at 8:00am and goes ALL day. Living room was very comfortable and had a nice view of the Dog Park, could see a little bit of the water too.
I traveled to TC for work and my husband and dog ZoieBowie tagged along. It was great to be right in town and directly across from the dog park. Clean, comfortable, had everything we needed. Will recommend to friends and co-workers. So much better than hotelling.
The Bish was perfect for the two of us and our dog. We could walk to the lake, downtown, or just around the neighborhood. The condo was super clean and comfortable. Loved it and would definitely stay here again!
Great stay!
This apartment / condo is very close to the heart of Traverse City, the water, and many great places like Frenchies are in walking distance. The living room overlooks a local dog park, so it was lovely watching the dogs play while having morning coffee. parking was a little annoying because they seemed to be in process of putting in permanent signs, so the assigned parking space changed every night, as it was currently only marked with a cone. Not a huge deal, and it’s likely to be a permanent spot soon. It seemed like all of the units in this building are short term rentals. Again, not a huge deal, but it’s something to keep in mind.
