My husband and his colleagues were attending a conference at this facility and this unit met their needs perfectly! It was convenient and comfortable. Would definitely return. The owner was great communicating and a pleasure in all our dealings.

Being in this apartment was very convenient! We loved the restaurants in the building! We brought bikes and rode around the area to different restaurants too. Great family vacation!!

We had the best time at Chelsea's property. I love the little community that surrounds the Village. The unit is 3 stories high and is already on the top floor. The adjacent patio is the best place to spend the day. The beds were comfy and we had everything we needed including great communication from the owner.

Nice location on the grounds of the Traverse City Village Commons. Plenty of shops and a few nice restaurants on the property. Hiking trails are also nearby.

Wonderfully unique location in Traverse City
If you are looking for a different place to stay next time you visit Traverse City I recommend the Commons. The location is full of history, shopping, and close to downtown. If I have any suggestions it would be the cleanliness could have been a bit more thorough.

Really enjoyed it, would stay again
We loved everything about our stay. The grounds at the Village were beautiful! Our host was great, she checked in on us on the first day just to ensure all was well. We had no issues with our property. We enjoyed learning about the history and highly recommend the flashlight asylum tour. We were close to everything, great food, beaches and a short drive from the dunes. We will definitely be back! Oh and don’t forget brunch at Redspire! You’ll love it.

Great Location
Great location! A short drive to downtown TC, wineries, and restaurants. Chelsea was responsive to all inquiries. The kitchen had minimal cookware (saucepans, skillets, etc.), but it was manageable. The area was quiet and parking was close to the unit.

4th of July extended weekend
I don't usually complain about a property that I have rented but I was very disappointed in this unit. The unit was dirty, lots of dust on the furniture lots of cob webs throughout. The kitchen sink didn't look like it had been cleaned in a long time it looked and felt very greasy. The furnishings were extremely sparse from the furniture to the kitchen furnishings. The dish soap was so diluted that it didn't even make suds for washing dishes. There were no dish rags or dish towels and no hair blower (which was included as an item furnished). The kitchen furnishings are all mismatched, looks like they came from a thrift store or garage sale. The unit needs some major TLC or a complete remodel. The building and the grounds are beautiful but not this unit. The furnishings are old and mismatched. The TV is smaller than a computer monitor. The roof top deck is amazing but there was only 2 old folding chairs and a rusty table to use. (I'm so glad we brought our own bag chairs but a nice table and chairs with an umbrella would be a great addition). If you are looking for a nice, updated fully furnished unit - please look elsewhere.

Perfect getaway
The loft is simple and unique. Bed was super comfortable and the outdoor deck was used every day! We had everything we needed!
The shops and restaurants downstairs were charming and we left money well spent there!
We could not have picked a better place to stay!

Everything was perfect for our trip. The location was absolutely stunning and the rental was beautiful and the whole establishment was an experience in itself. We are definitely looking forward to coming back to the city and will almost certainly book the same property again

Quick review of Loft Condo at Traverse Village
Communication very good. Condo in great location with many shops and restaurants within walking distance. Thought the circular stairs up to the Loft could be a challenge but was actually easy to negotiate. Check in very easy.

So sweet
I loved staying at Chelsea’s place in the old state hospital. There is so much to do and explore just in that little area that you could just stay put there for a little vacation. The apartment was well lit, in a great location and communication with the host was easy. Would definitely like to book another trip next time I’m in Northen Michigan!

TC with the grandkids!
We love staying at the commons when we are in Traverse City!! Such a neat property! This was a nice rental with everything we needed. The balcony was great for some fresh air and people watching. The space could use a little updating but was other very clean and comfortable.

Wedding Week
The Property was clean and exactly as the pictures and description said. The owner was available if any assistance was needed but there was no need! Getting to the apartment was a bit of a process but included a special code to get up the elevator. Overall, the great experience we were expecting!

Great Spot !
The apartment at the commons is a great spot in a very nice location. Close enough to downtown and also close enough to drive to some wineries. The commons has a lot to offer as well with dining, shops, and entertainment

perfectly nice place to stay.
all in all the condo was a nice place to stay. I was visiting with my sisters who live in Michigan and I'm from the state of Washington. None of us had ever been to see the old State Hospital and we're all into the ghostly part of it. If I had to make one complaint about the condo I would say that the lighting could be improved. Would stay here again for sure!

Great location.
We stayed here for 3 nights during the Cherry Festival. Location has easy access in and out of town, as well as the peninsulas. We were able to divert from a lot of the traffic. Apartment was accommodating and we had everything we needed.

We were delighted to uncover this treasure hidden in plain sight.
From the Victorian 'ventilators' to spiral staircase, the space was clean and up to date. Take advantage of all the vendors in Building 50, Spanglish and Pleasanton Bakery at the old 'Fire House' and the trails.
One small tip, jiggle the key for the main security door. Amazing stay. Loved it.

Good Location, close to Downtown.
Property was clean and comfortable. Owner always available for questions. Bed was very comfy. The spiral staircase was a bit challenging😁. Plenty of cookware and dishes. Quiet setting. The shared balcony was nice. Could hear the concert on the back lawn, which was very cool.

Perfect for our long weekend
We rented the loft for 4 nights Thursday -Monday . Our daughter got married in tc and it was ideal for us so we didn't have to drive back and forth to our home 40 miles away. The furnishings were very unique and it was a wonderful change from a regular hotel . The access to the shops, Spanglish , Pleasanton bakery and higher grounds makes for a special place.

Cool loft condominium
Traverse City Commons is a great place sto stay. There are two excellent restaurants, two wine tasting rooms and coffes on the premises as well as a variety of shops, including several art galeries. We always walked to downtown; it takes approximatly 30 to 35 minutes. It is a nice and safe walk even at night. There is a beautiful park around the complex, including almost 500 acres of woods with numerous hiking trails. The condo is spacious for two people and has everything you need (there is a laundry on every floor, if you need that). There was a TV, but we nevet touched that. There is so much to do in th area; you should not watch TV. The internet was fast.
