My husband and I came to the Traverse City area to see family, play golf, tour the wineries, and enjoy the water. This listing was perfect for our needs. July is a busy month in TC, and we came in the weekend that Cherry Festival was ending. This location is close to everything but out of the congestion you find closer to the hotels and downtown. Many times we were able to take alternative routes to avoid traffic. The unit itself was clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed for simple food prep. We ate several meals on the balcony and enjoyed the river view. Even though the complex was booked solid, there was plenty of parking, and we never heard noise from the surrounding units. If you stay here, don’t miss sunset on the beach close by! Thanks Beth for your quick responses to our questions. We will stay here again when we are back in the area!
