“Perfect place for a quiet relaxing vacation. The high ceilings and tall windows made the condo feel much larger than it actually is and the historic elements of the building such as the exposed brick walls and amazing woodwork add a cozy feel. Hope to stay again in the future!”
“Staying at The Village of Grand Traverse Commons was a wonderful experience. We have stayed at the Commons before but in a different condo. Carrie had plenty of recommendations. You can walk to several restaurants on the property which are excellent choices, especially Pepenero.”
“This little roost was just perfect for a mini getaway for my boyfriend and I. And the ultra comfy king size bed allowed for fantastic sleep. The place was impeccably clean and tastefully decorated. With its location at The Village Commons there's so much to experience right there on site!”
“Loved this place! Classy, clean, and quiet, with proximity to lots of restaurants and shops right in the building or a few minutes away in Traverse City. Enjoyed a historical tour of the building (including old tunnel system) as well. Highly recommend!”
“Enjoyed our stay at Carrie's place. The condo was clean, comfortable, and accurately described by the listing photos. Carrie's instructions were clear and recommendations good. Best part, all the windows that make the place bright and airy. Liked the location in The Commons.”
