    For a trip to Traverse City, this is definitely a great place to stay. We had a GREAT time and the place had everything we needed plus more. We only used the hot tub once since we were too busy doing things away from the house, but we did enjoy it, and especially enjoyed the arcade game cocktail table A LOT. Also enjoyed the massage chairs in the back bedroom. Very nice (and not common) to have a fully-fenced back yard, and that was great for us since the dog was along with us. She loved the place as much as we did, some friendly amenities for the pooches as well. The owners were excellent at communicating all the details, the expectations, the check-in and check-out instructions, and very responsive at any time needed. Could we recommend any improvements? Not really, maybe an electric kettle instead of stovetop? But only because we drink so much tea at all hours. :) That's about the best tip we can come up with. Highly recommended!

The owners have thought of everything, and Shawne is always so helpful. The sauna, cold plunge and hot tub and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Even better if your getaway includes a triathlon!

    My wife and I have stayed at the Traverse City bungalow, about three times, and each time, we feel at home. The neighborhood is cute, some great coffee and food options so close, and the bungalow itself is very relaxing. Whether we were relaxing in the massage chairs, soaking in the hot tub, or just stretching on the couch, we could feel the stress of life melt away. We hope to return again.to

    My wife and I stayed at the Bungalow for our honeymoon and we absolutely loved the house, location, and amenities. Upon arrival we noticed instantly how clean and tidy everything was, and we very much appreciated that. The home is set up in such a comfortable and relaxing fashion, and it was the perfect reset for us after months of planning that lead up to the wedding. We had originally planned to stay outside of Traverse City and drive in if we wanted to go to the city, but I am so glad that we found the Bungalow! The location was perfect and we really got to enjoy the city more than if we had stayed elsewhere. On top of that, its so nice being 10-15 minutes away from any restaurant, store, shop, etc. The sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge were an added bonus and only elevated our experience! We will 100% be back to the Bungalow, and will hopefully be checking out some of the other properties in the future! Dan, Lisa, Shawne; you guys rock! Thank you for helping to make our honeymoon absolutely perfect :)

    We had an amazing time staying at the TC Bungalow! It’s a great location- you can walk to grab coffee at Mundos in the morning and front street is a short bike ride or drive! This location is so great for those wanting to be in a solid location for exploring both the Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas. Truly the perfect spot for exploring the area. The property was also the most dog friendly I’ve ever stayed out. Our pup gelt just as at home as the rest of us!

    This is a wonderful place to stay for a Traverse City trip. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating, the amenities (sauna, hot tub,etc.) are incredibly clean (as well is the entire home) and well maintained. There is everything you could need to stay there as far as cooking equipment, plentiful amounts of towels and even a table top arcade that is incredibly addicting. The space is also very dog friendly and their fenced in yard was wonderful. I would say for any dog owners, the yard is very sandy which, we've found out, is common to the area so just plan accordingly. We would recommend the Buganlow to anyone and hope to stay there again next year!
