Excellent stay in Traverse City!

We stayed in Carrie’s beautiful condo for 4 nights and were ultra-pleased with our choice. The unit is very comfortable, decorated with stylish taste yet homey. The building is secure and the location in the former State hospital is quite unique. It was super convenient having the stores and restaurants just downstairs in the Commons, as well as cool places on the outskirts surrounding the buildings, as well as walking trails and a lovely botanic garden. Check-in was simple and Carrie clearly communicated everything we needed to know for our stay. Highly recommend both of the Italian restaurants, the brunch place (Red Spire), Left Foot Charley for a wine flight (& yummy snacks to go with it!) Thank you Carrie for making our time in TC so very pleasant! I would highly recommend booking this place!

Comfy Couch and Bed

Our trip didn’t quite go as planned. The day after we arrived we both became ill and tested positive for Covid. So we spent our trip hunkered down on the very comfy couch or in the equally comfy bed! We missed the Cherry Festival and the parade, and all that Traverse City has to offer. So we shall return!

Perfect place for two

My Sister and I had a little “sisters Trip” here at the Historic Hearth. It was very comfortable and clean and in the most amazing building. There are wonderful little shops in the Mercato on the ground floor as well as restaurants. We ate at Trattoria Stella and had an amazing dinner. We will definitely return!

Great weekend getaway

If you are looking for a great place to stay for two; this is your property. It has so much character and is decorated beautifully. We had all the amenities we needed and more. The Cherry Festival was going on which was a plus. We enjoyed the dunes, an old general store, great food and breweries and wineries. Parking was never an issue. You won't regret this choice.

Perfect place to be snowed in!

We headed up to Traverse City for a weekend away. Over the weekend it snowed at least 16 inches but we were warm and toasty in our Historic Hearth condo. The Grand Traverse Commons is a perfect place to be snowed in with all the restaurants and shops. Plus from one end to the other is around 500 steps! Loved it!

Babymoon

My girlfriend and I are expecting your first child. We are very excited. We love Traverse City, especially the Commons area. We go up every year and with a little one on the way, we may not be going next year so we decided to take a winter babymoon trip. What a wonderful property it was. Highly recommend to anyone exploring the area. Close to downtown, and everything you will need is on property. Wonderful little apartment.

Great Little place

its small but super cute and comfortable. the one down fall for us was a full size fridge. we had so many leftovers from the great restaurants that we didnt have much room in the mini fridge. But we will definately stay again, we will have to be more conscious of bringing back leftovers. :) We were there for the tree lighting and farmers market and had an amazing time... Thank you for the recommendations of restaurants, we were not disappointed!
