Great traverse city stay
The apartment was ideally suited for day trips and was in a quieter section of traverse city. Perfect for dogs as the dog park was right across the street. Clean and well equipped. Easy check in and check out.

What a great place you have! We have enjoyed the quiet location and the proximity to the beach across the way. Your apt. is clean, well decorated and has all the necessities. Being across the street with a view of the dog park was awesome. Out little on (Bentley) sat at the door watching until we took her over (every day 2x day). This is a beautiful area and we have enjoyed visiting the lighthouses and beaches. O-H-I-O

A Week in Traverse City
Loved the condo and the location. The condo was well appointed, very clean and quiet. Being right across the street from the dog park was convenient for our four-legged friend. I loved the fact that it had it's own washer and dryer. The only suggestion I would make to improve an already fantastic place is add a dresser for those of us that stay a week or more. 

FVR RESPONSE:

Hi Celine! We are truly delighted to know you enjoyed your stay while in Traverse City, especially knowing you found the unit to be very clean, well appointed, and of course having the dog park available for your dog's stay as well! We appreciate your feedback regarding a dresser for longer stays, as that is definitely something worth taking a look into! Hopefully we get a chance to host you again in the future!

Just right
This property is located right near the beaches and parks, just across the street is a dog park for your furry friend. This unit is perfect for a couple. Within walking distance to downtown Traverse City. We had to cut our stay short do to an accident I had by a day. I received a one day refund unexpectedly. The property owners went above and beyond in my opinion. I would recommend Freshwater properties to anyone looking for a wonderful stay.

FVR RESPONSE:

Thank you for such a lovely review, Bruce! Although it is unfortunate your stay was cut short, we are so happy to know you enjoyed your time at the home, and the wonderful location it offers! Also, thank you to the lovely compliment to our team! Hopefully we can have you back for a future stay!

Great Option for Business Travel
The BISH was a great option for my travels to work in our TC office. I feel I had a better financial deal for my stay than a hotel. My retired husband was able to come along and our dog ZoieBowie as well. They took advantage of the dog park directly across the street and day trips while I was at the office. It’s a little noisy in the living room with the traffic noise but nothing too terribly bad. It took me a little wrangling to get the bedroom window to catch and seal shut. Again, a minor inconvenience. Nice kitchen setup. Everything we needed. I’ll be telling our other corporate travelers about this location. Our office is on the grounds of the Grand Traverse Commons.

FVR RESPONSE:

Hi Janine! It's awesome to know know the homes location was able to work so well for you when travelling for business, especially knowing that your husband and ZoieBowie were able to make good use of the dog park, and day trips as well! We will be looking into the bedroom window not catching, so it doesn't pose an issue for future stays as well. We appreciate you passing our property along to other travelers and can't wait to have you back!
