Bungalow Getaway
My wife and I have stayed at the Traverse City bungalow, about three times, and each time, we feel at home. The neighborhood is cute, some great coffee and food options so close, and the bungalow itself is very relaxing. Whether we were relaxing in the massage chairs, soaking in the hot tub, or just stretching on the couch, we could feel the stress of life melt away. We hope to return again.to

Perfect Honeymoon!
My wife and I stayed at the Bungalow for our honeymoon and we absolutely loved the house, location, and amenities. Upon arrival we noticed instantly how clean and tidy everything was, and we very much appreciated that. The home is set up in such a comfortable and relaxing fashion, and it was the perfect reset for us after months of planning that lead up to the wedding. We had originally planned to stay outside of Traverse City and drive in if we wanted to go to the city, but I am so glad that we found the Bungalow! The location was perfect and we really got to enjoy the city more than if we had stayed elsewhere. On top of that, its so nice being 10-15 minutes away from any restaurant, store, shop, etc. The sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge were an added bonus and only elevated our experience! We will 100% be back to the Bungalow, and will hopefully be checking out some of the other properties in the future! Dan, Lisa, Shawne; you guys rock! Thank you for helping to make our honeymoon absolutely perfect :)

Perfect spot!
We had an amazing time staying at the TC Bungalow! It’s a great location- you can walk to grab coffee at Mundos in the morning and front street is a short bike ride or drive! This location is so great for those wanting to be in a solid location for exploring both the Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas. Truly the perfect spot for exploring the area. The property was also the most dog friendly I’ve ever stayed out. Our pup gelt just as at home as the rest of us!

This place is great. We had everything we needed to feel at home including a nice private backyard for the puppy. The sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub were great for relaxing at the end of the day. The place was clean and welcoming with some local snacks included. Overall, a great experience!

From the massage chairs, comfy robes, to the hot tub and fabulous sauna, we were treated a most relaxing stay. Everything worked in great condition. We enjoyed the bikes as well. The location was excellent, we biked through the Boardman Lake trail, to downtown and the beach.

Great Stay
This is a wonderful place to stay for a Traverse City trip. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating, the amenities (sauna, hot tub,etc.) are incredibly clean (as well is the entire home) and well maintained. There is everything you could need to stay there as far as cooking equipment, plentiful amounts of towels and even a table top arcade that is incredibly addicting. The space is also very dog friendly and their fenced in yard was wonderful. I would say for any dog owners, the yard is very sandy which, we've found out, is common to the area so just plan accordingly. We would recommend the Buganlow to anyone and hope to stay there again next year!

This place is great for those looking for a relaxing getaway. The house was very clean and all the amenities were in great condition, everything was labeled for easy access. The sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub were a great way to end the day. Also, this property is not far from downtown Traverse City and there is a lake nearby with a very good walking/running trail around it. Definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect little bungalow
This was our third time staying at this property and we always have a wonderful time! Our dog loves watching the squirrels in the yard and the neighborhood is quiet and walkable. The massage chairs were an excellent addition and the location is perfect - close to everything you’d ever want but very peaceful and feels separate enough that you can come home and relax. Couldn’t recommend more.

Hello We had an amazing time. The bungalow was perfect for us! Very clean. Wonderful check in process. Great location. Safe area. We did it all Downtown Traverse for lunch & dinners. Did hiking & Shopping in Glen Arbor. We shopped in Sutton Bay. My brothers took a fishing trip & caught a King Salmon. The fire-put at the Bungalow was just perfect, we enjoyed those nice evenings.
