Wonderful Place
We truly enjoyed our stay here. Newly renovated and is exactly how it looks in the pictures. Very comfortable King bed and sofa for relaxing. Lots of drawers for storage of clothes, etc. Nice mini fridge with small freezer, microwave, pod coffee maker, toaster and dishes. Beautiful bathroom with lots of counter space as well as drawers to store things and a great shower. Also the use of a washer and dryer was very helpful for us. They have a beautiful back deck and yard for relaxing as well. Izey, their pup, was a joy to hang out with in the yard. Jody and Norm were great hosts and very quick to respond to any questions about the place or the area. We would love to come back sometime but maybe not during the Cherry Festival.

Perfect for a weekend getaway
The renovations were perfectly done. The space is very clean, bright, and welcoming. Almost every exterior wall is covered with a window, so tons of natural light. The bed was comfortable! Only con was that the bicycles weren’t in working order. The tires were under inflated. We tried pumping them up, but it was uncomfortable because the owner was hawking over us…felt like we were doing something wrong but the book said we could use the air compressor. Just awkward. We were in a hurry expecting the bikes to be ready to go. Also, this isn’t necessarily a con, just depends on the person. But, if you are expecting privacy this isn’t the place for you. The suite entrance is through a back door and mud room. The owners use the same entrance and mud room. The suite is French glass doors, so zero sound barrier. And the owners leave the door into their kitchen wide open so you can hear everything. But, if you want someone who greets you with a hand shake, knocks on your door to ask how you’re doing, and engages in conversation, then this is the place for you. Jody is very friendly!

This was perfect for a 3 day, 2 night getaway to Traverse City! The property is close to downtown and on a beautiful tree lined quiet street. The owners were accommodating and available if needed. The room was clean, bed comfortable and perfect with an electric fireplace to take the morning chill away. No more motels/hotels for us!! We recommend this property.

The Bayside Suite is centrally located. You can easily access downtown as well as both peninsulas. Jody and Norm are wonderful and friendly hosts. They will assist you with recommendations. In fact, Jody even offered a name of a driver when we were having difficulty hiring Uber. The suite is very clean and roomy, and the bed is especially comfortable. It was a perfect place for a long weekend in Traverse City.
