Traverse City House | Fifteen steps to the beach - 15 minutes to walk to downtown Traverse City!

1 Bedroom House in Traverse City

Ours is a simple, SMALL beach house, located on the grounds of our family home (which means that we share the beach). West Grand Traverse Bay is twenty steps away from the front door - - and downtown Traverse City is a 15 minute walk down the beach -- or Front Street.
We rent it from Sunday-Sunday from June through September ($2500 per week).
Between October and May, we rent it by the month ($2000/month). It is just become available for 15 Sept 2025 - 30 May 2026.
We must limit the number of residents because of the limitations of the plumbing. Parties of more than 4 will need prior approval and perhaps a damage deposit and/or an increase in the rental fee.
We ask for at least 50% of the fee in advance. The balance is due on check-in. Check in is at 2 p.m. on Sundays. Check out is at 10 a.m. on Sundays.
The sunsets are out of this world - - and sunrises are pretty spectacular, too!
We are happy to have pets (an extra charge of $500 is needed) - - and it is paradise for children of all ages!
It is a highly rated spot!

Summary: A fun, relaxing, lake getaway. The cottage was a perfect size for our family of 5 (one infant). The water is just steps away. John and Terri are great hosts!

Summary: The hosts, John and Terrie were fabulous, so kind, generous, knowledgeable about the area and very welcoming and always provided lots of privacy. The guest house was perfect with beautiful sunset views, easy walk to downtown Traverse City, the location couldn't be any better and right by the Blue Goat wine market for added festivities. Highly recommend 10/10!!

Summary: My husband, two young daughters, and our 2 year old golden retriever had a great week at Terrie and John’s place. The location could not be more perfect. We could walk to so many places! Next year when the construction is complete we’ll bring bikes. The best part, as soon as you turn into the property, you are surrounded by trees and then the lake frontage so it felt like you were far from the hustle and bustle. The cottage was well stocked; just needed to bring our food/drink. I used Shipt and Instacart to deliver our groceries which worked great as well. We would love to return!

Summary: My husband and I stayed at the beach cottage from Sat, Aug 19 to Sat., Aug 26, 2023. The cottage sits steps from the beach amid a lush landscape of majestic white pines and other beautiful trees. The setting was perfect for us and our Golden Retriever to unwind and relax. The location was perfect for the day trips we took to the coastal towns, historic sites and wineries. Sunset on the beach was spectacular. Our hosts, Terri & John were wonderful and it was such a pleasure to meet them and to stay in their cottage. The space was perfect for us and we had a terrific time in Northern Michigan. We would highly recommend this cottage and the hosts. Tammy & Brian W.

Summary: Cute, comfortable, quiet beach house with LOTS of natural light and air flow. Great view of the lake, and very easy access to the beach - just a 30 second walk, no inclines, steps, or obstacles - and you're right at the water on large, perfectly sandy beach. We were a little concerned since there were no photos of the beach, but it is one of the nicest MI beaches we've been on! No rocks, no need for water shoes. Firepit overlooking the lake with plenty of wood and chairs. What makes this rental so special though is not only the lovely private beach, but its proximity to downtown Traverse. We walked or biked into town almost every day, which make it perfect for late nights and not worrying about a DD. Our hosts were charming, thoughtful and helpful, but still gave us plenty of space, and let us borrow bikes to use on all the great TC trails. We can't wait to come back!
