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:)

Perfect Family Property with Great Walkability.
Loved the cozy atmosphere of the home! Big kitchen, big dining table, cozy living room where we hung out during a snow storm. The hosts were great! Close to Slab Town Burgers which has easy and quick good food to go and became a go-to. Lots of walkability down to Front Street to TC and through the pretty neighborhoods. Close to coffee shops, wine, fantastic restaurants and shopping. Appreciated the easy and ample parking for our three SUVs. We loved this cute and restored home and are looking forward in returning!

Awesome little spot
We were very happy with our stay here over a long weekend. Family friendly and my daughter loved all the games, puzzles, and bunk beds provided by the house. Great location, clean, comfortable beds, and had all the amenities we needed. Only wish there was a space in the backyard for kids to play but they enjoyed playing in the leaves out front. We would love to stay here again!

The property was perfect for us. I wouldn't have considered the bed in the basement an option because it's a dark, cement basement & treadmill & elliptical didnt work. Otherwise, it was wonderful!!elliptical didn't work.

Our family of 6 were in town for a family wedding. The house was very comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us. The neighborhood was quiet and we were able to walk to dinner and Front Street. Would definitely rent again if we are ever back in Traverse City!

Terrific Traverse Bay Stay!
We had a wonderful time! The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped for our family vacation. Our hosts were kind and responsive. The house’s location was superb, with easy access to town and the lake. We recommend this home absolutely and hope to stay there again, ourselves, sometime.

Great House and Location
We had a great experience at this house in Traverse City. Very clean, nicely updated kitchen and main floor bathroom and plenty of space for the 5 of us. Kids liked the bunk bed upstairs. It is technically walking distance to the beach but still about 1/2 a mile so keep this in mind if you have young kids. But, it was nice because there was very little parking available at the beach itself so we were happy we walked. Lots of good restaurants around the area. While it does share an alley with a liquor store and two small condo buildings, it was always very quiet and the rest of the neighborhood is made of other very nice single family historic homes.

Slabtown Retreat
It's a beautifully restored Victorian house. Loved the way the woodwork was saved. The tile/stone entryways were impressive. They did a wonderful job of modernizing and yet keeping the authentic appearance. There are several inviting outdoor areas to enjoy. The location is perfect for walking or biking. They provided all the amenities needed. Would definitely recommend it and hope to return soon.

Family Vacation - 2024
This was our very first experience staying at a VRBO property and it was wonderful. From the minute we walked into the house, we felt right at home. Our hosts provided us with everything we could possibly want. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, including spices!! The beds were very comfortable. My grandsons especially liked the bunk beds. The bathrooms had recently been remodeled and were lovely. There were plenty of towels and washcloths for eight people. Our hosts provided beach towels, camp chairs, and beach toys for the children - that was a special surprise!! The location was perfect -- just a short walk to downtown Traverse City and the beach. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great rental property in Traverse City.

Great property but maybe not for seniors
It’s a lovely, very well appointed Victorian house in a super convenient location with a host who responds almost immediately to concerns. It’s a great neighborhood on a the old west side of TC where you will enjoy walking your dog! The house has a master bedroom (with very comfortable mattress) on the main level along with a large bathroom with both a shower and deep tub for soaking. It has a very nice large, modern, well-stocked kitchen with all of the amenities. There is a very nice covered front porch with seating for 5 and a back door patio with gas grill, table with sun umbrella and seating for 4. The only down side for seniors is the lack of hand rails on basement stairs (where the washer-dryer are located), and lack of grab bar in shower. Also, I’m 5’2” and I had to use a step stool to mount the very tall bed in the master bedroom.
