BOHO CONDO w/Rooftop Hot Tubs! 2 minutes to downtown TC & Beaches. Dog Friendly!

Traverse City, Michigan, United States

Be one of the firsts to stay in this BOHO (bohemian)1-bedroom condo with 10 2-person rooftop hot tubs. Located just outside downtown Traverse City, you’ll be close to beaches, trails, and downtown life. brbrOnce you stroll through the door, you’ll feel charmed by the handmade woodworking and cheerful touches your local TC hosts curated for you. This quiet corner unit boasts high ceilings and oversized windows, giving an airy feel. The space is perfect for 2 with a king-sized bed, but cozy for 4 with the pullout sofa. brbrThis retreat will be the perfect place to land after a day of exploring in Northern Michigan. For an added convenience, your hosts live close by if you’d like us to bring you a pack n’ play, or bikes that we have to rent (we have 2), or if you need anything at all. brbrThe space:brThis sunny space will be the perfect place to land after a day of exploring in Northern Michigan. But before that, be sure you soak in 1 of the 4 rooftop hot tubs. The tall 11' ceilings, oversized windows and exposed industrial design give space, warmth, and a modern feel. Your hosts, two tight-knit couples from college days, created this space just for you. We had fun purchasing items locally, vintage and new, to give you that memorable feeling while you’re vacationing. Sleep in comfort with blackout shades, fans, restful beds and linens. brThe fully stocked kitchen includes coffee, spices, paper towels, trash bags, oil spray, ziplock bags, containers, and more. The immaculate bathroom includes toilet paper, hair dryer, towels, and all-in-one wash. There is also a laundry room with a washer, dryer, and detergent so you can go home with clean clothes. brbrDogs:brAs dog owners ourselves, we know how important it is to bring your small to medium sized pup with you on vacation (Please do not exceed 50 lbs). Please keep your well-behaved and potty-trained dog always on a 6 foot leash. If your dog is an excessive barker, this may not be the place for them. Because the condo is new (and we’d love to keep it that way for our guests), please do not allow your dogs up on the couches unless you place our provided pet blanket on top of the couch. And of course, always clean up after them outside the property. brbrGuest Access:brThis condo is located on the 3rd floor and there is an elevator or stairs to get there. The 10 2-person rooftop hot tubs are located on the 5th floor which are ready for use and you can take the elevator to get to. brbrFor your convenience, there is one designated free parking spot right on the condo property. Simply park in your room number and wheel your luggage to your cozy condo.brbrIf working remotely or simply browsing, there is fast speed fiber internet.brbrYour Hosts & Itinerary Help:brHi, there. We (Lauran, Nick, Angela, & Brad) are grateful you’ve checked out our condo. The four of us have been friends since college and love Traverse City so much we decided to share our love with others like you.

Beautiful Traverse City Lakehouse - pets allowed

Traverse City, Michigan, United States

* Summer special - if you book in the months of June, July, Aug, or Sept, the pontoon boat comes with the stay at NO extra cost. Look down further in the property description for details. brbrEnjoy this getaway home on Spider Lake with 60 feet of private beach; an absolutely beautiful setting from sunrise to sunset. It`s the perfect place to stay in any season, only 11.5 miles from downtown Traverse City, and well-protected from claustrophobic downtown traffic. brbrThe home is only a short hop from all the luxuries of Traverse City, including extravagant wineries, breathtaking sights, incredible restaurants, and endless outdoor attractions including Turtle Creek Casino. The neighborhood is isolated from public transportation, but Uber & Lyft and other options are usually available if you need transportation aside from your own vehicles. brbrThere`s year-round availability for rental in any season of the year. Bask in the summer sun on the lake and immerse yourself in the beauty of lakeside nature among the loons, swans, ducks, cranes, and deer. Enjoy the golden Michigan woods in the glow of autumn, enjoying the beautiful northern Michigan color change. Come back to your cozy indoor fireplace for hot cocoa after a day on the ski slopes, ice-fishing, or snowmobile trails enjoying the beauty of Michigan winters.brbrJust a few meters off your beach is a nice sized island/sandbar easily accessible by kayaks or paddle boat which we include in the rental at no extra cost. Or by pontoon boat, if included in the rental (more on that later). Bring supplies to spend the day swimming, take the kayaks out, have a campfire under the stars, hang a hammock for a nap, or play volleyball out on the sandbar. Fish off the dock or the kayaks/paddle boat, or pontoon boat, on the lake without having to transport equipment anywhere for launch. brbrRental Certification #008382brbrImportant to note:brbr1. Dogs are welcome with no extra security deposit, but we do ask that you crate your dog`s when not home. We normally do not accept cats due to urination issues on carpet, but we can make exceptions, with a security deposit (just for the cat), just message us about it.br br2. The rental includes the pontoon boat at no extra cost in June, July, August, and September. The rates you see, DO include the pontoon boat at no extra cost. If weather permits, May and October, there will be options to rent the pontoon, but it would be an additional charge, so the booking rate does NOT include the boat rental. We have a Friday to Friday - 7 day min for the Month of June, July, and August, but only in those months.brbr3. The kayaks and paddle boats provided free of charge and available if they are not winterized for the year which depends on the weather.brbr4. Firewood is provided ONLY in the months of June, July, August, Sept, Oct. If firewood is left over, feel free to use it.brbr5. Minimum age for renting is 25 years of age.brbrFor those with kids, there are a couple of small parks with playgrounds less than two miles away (one even has a beachfront for swimming!). I will send recommendations for this after you book. brbrThe house has multiple decks and patios to enjoy, one with a large outdoor grill, a beautiful courtyard, an indoor fireplace, and 2 outdoor fire pits. Don’t miss the beach-side fire pit near the dock for a cozy night of stargazing beside the lake. The interior is fully furnished with a washer, dryer, dishwasher, fridge, and oven, all newer appliances. We provide all kitchen utensils, and the cupboards are stocked with spices and cooking sprays. There`s also central air for those hot summer nights, and a powerful furnace for cold winter nights.brbrThe coffee maker is a Keurig that has a single cup option and a full pot option. We stock ground coffee for our guests but feel free to bring your own and you will need to bring your own K-cups.brbrSleep comfortably in one of four queen bedrooms, including a luxurious master bedroom and a fun room with bunk beds -- complete with two and a half bathrooms, and plenty of closet and drawer space. There are also two pull out couches with a queen mattress in the living room.brbrWe have lots of board games for all ages to enjoy. Also, we have city maps of Traverse City and menus from local restaurants so you can make dinner plans from the lake-house.brbrSummer Activities:brbrThese are endless in Traverse City. Enjoy boating, swimming, hiking, biking, wine tasting, breweries, distilleries, casinos, top notch restaurants, many farm to table, shopping, live music, beaches, paddle boating, kayaking, boat cruises, horse back riding, scenic drives, festivals, food & wine events, jet skiing, golf, mini-golf, beautiful architecture, tours, escape rooms, climbing, fitness, gyms, and much more. brbrFall Activities:brbrWe recommend driving around Old Mission Peninsula, Interlochen area, Benzie County, The Leelanau Peninsula, and Elk Lake/Torch Lake areas. Typically, peak color season in these areas is typically mid-October, but seasonal temperatures may impact the exact timing (above average temps will delay peak color; and below average temps will cause colors to peak earlier). Additionally, areas near the lakeshore are typically cooler, therefore colors tend to peak first/earlier in these areas compared to the locations further from the coast. Also, there are many local farms with pumpkin patches, cideries, and plenty of family fun activities. Also, Traverse City is known as wine country! Fall wine tours are very beautiful in Traverse City.brbrWinter Activities: brbrOur Lakehouse is in a centralized location to many ski/snowboard resorts: Hickory hills (13.8 miles), Mt Holiday (6.7 miles), Crystal Mountain (34.4 miles), Caberfae (46 miles), Boyne Mountain (59.6 miles).brbrFor snow tubing, Mt. Holiday (6.7miles), Timberlee Hills (19.5 miles)brbrAlso, close to many locations for cross country skiing, fat tire biking, and snow shoeing. brbr*Other things to note*brbr- We have a max of 10 occupants, including adults and children, We have a max of 5 cars that are allowed, 2 must be in the garage, the other 3 can park in the driveway. We cannot have anyone park on the road or the neighbors yard. If you have more cars, please contact me so we can make extra accommodations for them. This is family setting lake cottage so we don`t allow parties and have a quiet time after 10pm to meet township and short-term rental guidelines.brbr- The boat is a pontoon boat, not a speed boat, it is meant for cruising and relaxing in. We do not allow tubing behind the boat either. brbr- The lake is a typical Michigan lake, the shore is not sandy but has vegetation, it`s beautiful, but we don`t recommend swimming at the shore, but rather at the island which is a very short boat ride, kayak, or paddle boat ride away. The island has plenty of space and a huge sandbar, typically with one or two volleyball nets set up. You can see the island right out the back window of the house, see pictures for examples.brbr- There is no security deposit, but guests are responsible for all damage on the property and will be charged accordingly if there is damage. By booking this property, you agree to this term.brbrWhen you rent the lake house, the whole property is yours. Here is a break down of the 3 floors:brbr- Floor 1 - Garage Level - There is a garage where you can park 2 cars, and keep your fishing supplies or other outdoor gear you may bring. There is also another fridge there you can use for extra supplies/ice, etc. Attached to the garage is one of the guest bedrooms with a bunk bed with 2 twin mattresses, and 1 queen bed. The garage opens into a mudroom which leads upstairs or outside to the one of the out-door areas that over looks the lake with a seating area. brbr- Floor 2 - the Main Level - The main floor has a fully stocked kitchen, a living room with a high def smart TV (so you can sign into your apps, such as Netflix, Prime, etc), basic cable, a dining room, a master bedroom with full bath with a bidet/heated seat), and the back porch that leads into the backyard. This floor also has a half bath with a washer and dryer. Also, on this floor, in the living room, we have 2 comfortable pull-out couches that can sleep 2 people each. brbr- Floor 3 - the Top Floor Level - The top floor also has two bedrooms, a skylight, and a full bathroom with a tub.brbrNote: It requires stairs to get up to the 2nd floor of the house and to the 3rd floor. brbrBack yard - The back yard has three levels. The upper level has a gazebo, a patio, outdoor dining table, chairs, and a firepit. The mid level has a seating area that overlooks the lake, perfect for morning coffee, meals or card games. The lower level is on the lake with a dock, a large firepit with outdoor furniture provided, and boating equipment. This is also where the two kayaks, paddleboat, and pontoon boat (if part of the rental), are located. Use of all of these depends on seasonality and weather. brbrThis house is located in a private little neighborhood in the Forest Lakes area. The houses on the street are spread out enough that you`re never disturbed (but it`s not quite a cabin-in-the-woods scenario). You`ll have plenty of privacy and isolation on the scenic lake, and most of your contact with the neighbors will be waves from the passing boats.brbrYou can contact me anytime during your stay via text or call. I`m always here to help you out if there`s anything you need. Looking for a special experience (in house chef, Pilates, etc), or some niche interests nearby Feel free to ask. We`ve done our research and we know the area like the back of our various hands. And if we can`t answer the question for you on the spot, we`ll absolutely find out for you. There`s no question we can`t answer, and we want to make your stay as perfect as possible.brWe appreciate you booking with us. I promise you will love this property. Please treat it like it`s your own home. I`m always available for a text or call if you need anything at anytime.
