Spiral Sanctuary · 3 Bedroom Condo in Historic Building

This charming 2-bed, 2-bath condo, with an additional sleeping loft, is nestled within a revitalized historic building dating back to 1885. The space showcases a striking 3-story spiral staircase, exposed brick walls & breathtaking views. Just 1 mile from downtown & the beach, it offers easy access to the vibrant area. Nestled on a 480-acre estate, you'll find miles of scenic trails at your doorstep. Additionally, an elevator ride away, you'll discover coffee shops, boutiques, and restaurants.

THE SPACE:
We have one master bedroom with a comfortable king-sized bed, a TV and an en-suite master bathroom. The second bedroom located on the main floor includes two twin beds, with additional space for a pack-n-play. The upstairs loft bedroom is open to the downstairs common area and features another comfortable king-sized bed.

During your stay, explore the charming village, located a mere mile from the bay and downtown. The garden level boasts a variety of on-site amenities, including restaurants and shops that cater to both fine dining and quick bites.

Within the Grand Traverse Commons building or its scenic grounds, you'll find:

- PepeNero
- Spanglish
- Pleasanton Bakery
- Higher Grounds
- Red Spire
- Earth & Ales
- S2S (Salt to Sugar)
- Left Foot Charlie
- Trattoria Stella
- Cuppa Joe

- Unique boutique shops

Consider enhancing your stay with a guided tour of The Village:

- Guided Historic Walking Tour
- Asylum Twilight Tour
- *NEW* Golf Cart Tour
- Taste of the Village Guided Tour
- Semi-Guided Tripod Photography Tour (for all you shutterbugs!)

For your convenience, the condo features an in-unit washer and dryer; common space laundry facilities are also available.

LISTING ACCESS:
Guests have full access to the condo. There are two shared balconies on the 3rd floor.

Convenience and security are paramount, with smart locks granting easy access to the condo. We remain readily available to you throughout your stay via VRBO messaging, with an average response rate of under 1 hour. Our phone number is also provided to you during check-in for any urgent requests or emergencies.

NEIGHBORHOOD:
This historical location has been reimagined into a vibrant community of locally-owned shops, eateries, and condos. The condos are all on private access floors above the shops. Nearby, you will also find multiple hiking and biking trails that can lead you to natural springs and rivers, the renowned "hippie tree" of Traverse City, and breathtaking scenic views.

Great location. So close to shopping and restaurants. All the extra amenities were so appreciated. The extra stairs can be intimidating but were doable even with those over 70.

Birthday weekend getaway
We love TC and come up a couple times a year. This is the first time we stayed at this property and the location was perfect. The on-site shops, restaurants, Saturday indoor farmers market, and close proximity to downtown were exactly what we wanted. Everything about the property and location exceeded our expectations and we plan to return again soon.

Winter Storm at the old hospital
We had a great time staying at this VRBO. We stayed here during a winter storm and it was otherwise very cozy and had all the amenities one would need. It’s also fun that it’s the old state hospital building. On Saturday morning, we took the elevator down to check out the shops and also have brunch at Red Spire. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to stay here again.

The place is great! We were very comfortable. There are a lot of stairs to take in to consideration if you have anyone with mobility issues. We loved being on the grounds. There's so much to do. We had brunch both days at Red Spire.

Great stay
We all enjoyed our stay at the Spiral Sanctuary. The only hitch in our giddy up was getting to the rental the first time, but once we figured it out it was no problem. We all thought the beds were comfy, fans were available, everything was clean, the light switches we're all labeled and that was super helpful. Check out was nice, a shorter list than our usual experience, that's for sure!

Comfortable Home Base
For traveling with grandparents and school-aged children, this was a great home base from which to learn about Traverse City, have great coffee and food and trails nearby, and easily explore the area by car and by the local free bus. Thoughtful details like labeled light switches, beach towels, and clear directions in the welcome book were appreciated by all. Comfortable beds kept us well-rested for all the adventures. Thank you!
