Perfect location. Close to shopping, wine tours, and many restaurants options. The apartment was also perfect. The space was warm and very welcoming. It had all the necessary items to make for an easy trip. The response from the host was quick and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay here again.

Lovely Condo
The spiral staircase condo was a lovely, well appointed place. The extra thoughtful touches of providing soaps, paper towels and plastic garbage bags made the stay enjoyable as we did not need to run out to the store. Providing us with free grocery delivery and placing the food in fridge or on the counter for our arrival was awesome too. Our host was always quick to respond to questions and gave us detailed information about our condo. Location was great for traveling and exploring Traverse City area too. Could not have been a better experience!

Interesting experience
We enjoyed the comfort and historical significance of this condo. Check in with the keys and combinations was somewhat confusing. We needed to use the fire escape stairs and they were very poorly lit.

Nice unit, but really hard to get in and out
The unit was very clean and well stocked. Getting in and out of the unit was difficult with multiple codes, keys and lock pad combinations. The spiral stairs were unyielding, my adult son slipped and fell down a few stairs while going up to the loft. He was not injured, but this unit is not for us with narrow spiral stairs and low ceiling walls around the corners of the rooms.

Cool Location
Went to Traverse City for a 4 day weekend with some friends. Had 6 people and the place fit us perfectly. If you stay here makes sure you go to breakfast in the lower level of the building, you wont regret it. There are also a bunch of cool shops in the lower level as well. Very Cool Place!

Winter Storm at the old hospital
We had a great time staying at this VRBO. We stayed here during a winter storm and it was otherwise very cozy and had all the amenities one would need. It’s also fun that it’s the old state hospital building. On Saturday morning, we took the elevator down to check out the shops and also have brunch at Red Spire. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to stay here again.

Holiday Weekend Stay
We booked a Thanksgiving weekend stay and it was the perfect getaway from Chicago. The property is well kept, kitschy, and comfortable. The spiral staircase is a really fun way to access the loft. The location is perfect with shops and restaurants downstairs and scattered throughout the village. We are at the the taco restaurant and Sugar2Salt for brunch and enjoyed the coffee shop every day. All of that within a short walk! This is our second time staying in the main building at the Village and our first in this unit. We will be back whenever we can!

Girl's Weekend Getaway!
We had a blast.... the location was incredible, so many things to do on property. We went to Left Foot Charley's Barrle Room, had a drink and a snack. Ate dinner at Stella's... absolutely incredible.... We use The Brew Bus for a private shuttle and wine tasting.. our driver Coop, was awesome. Checking into the condo was a little difficult, but it was us too! We made it and laughed at ourselves a lot that we didn't get better about managing the doors and keys.... The Condo had everything we could have needed. Thank you... we will be back!

Great stay
We all enjoyed our stay at the Spiral Sanctuary. The only hitch in our giddy up was getting to the rental the first time, but once we figured it out it was no problem. We all thought the beds were comfy, fans were available, everything was clean, the light switches we're all labeled and that was super helpful. Check out was nice, a shorter list than our usual experience, that's for sure!
