Historic Top Floor Condo at Grand Traverse Commons

STEP INTO HISTORY! The Village at Grand Traverse Commons is an experience like no other. Formerly the Traverse City State Hospital--this marvel of preservation is now a bustling community of mixed commercial and residential uses.

I purchased this condo in 2017. It is located on the top (3rd) floor of Cottage 20. It is accessible by elevator and is also equipped with its own private washer and dryer.

The space is ideally suited for 2 people--but could accommodate 2 additional guests on the queen sized, memory foam sleeper sofa. This is a wonderful vantage point from which to explore the area. It is cozy, comfortable and equipped with everything you need to make your stay feel relaxed and carefree. There is an electric fireplace for added ambiance and warmth. Guests may also enjoy the gorgeous front covered porch.

Beautiful condo
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful condo. It was spotless and had everything we needed for a 4 night stay. Our host was very responsive and made the check in process easy with her detailed instructions. The location was perfect with easy access to everything on our list. My husband and i highly recommend staying here and definitely plan on returning on our next trip to Michigan.

Authentic experience
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this unique location. Be sure to take a tour of the property and you'll appreciate the rooms even more. We were able to use the living room as a second bedroom and still had enough room, There's plenty to do in and around the Villages and we stayed busy and engaged for several days!

Perfect weekend getaway
My husband and I went to Traverse City for the weekend, and were so lucky to find this perfect little condo right in Grand Traverse Commons. The location was so convenient, we didn’t even have to drive anywhere the whole weekend! The condo was clean, comfy, and very cute, and the building was very quiet, which was wonderful. The weekend was phenomenal, and we would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful Condo in a Great Location!
We travel from Jensen Beach, Florida. We love the Traverse City area. This is our second stay at this condo. First stay was Fall 2021 (check review for 10/2021). Everything about the room was as advertised. No issues with the property throughout the complete stay. Sally was available via text when needed and very responsive in addressing questions. This was a great location for supporting day trips (this go round was focused on Leelanau State Park, Suttons Bay and Elk Rapids). Within walking distance of Front Street which includes many dining options and lots of shopping. The grounds are full of history and have many trails to explore and enjoy all that nature offers (the abundance of deer on the grounds and the snow made the experience even more enjoyable). Make sure you try all of the onsite food opportunities including Stellas, PepeNero and S2S (excellent restaurants on the grounds). Definitely venture out and try a couple of tours when you visit the area (Traverse City Asylum Tour on the grounds and the hiking wine tour in Suttons Bay). We will definitely be back again in the future. Thank you for the great experience.

This is a Great Place
Our family- myself, husband and our 12 yr. Son stayed here. The place was so cozy. Very nicely decorated. Had plenty of blankets/bedding/ linens. We did not cook but it was well appointed to do so. The pull out bed was comfy for my son. Main bedroom was so pretty with comfy bed. We really enjoyed our stay. I was able to get studying done. The Villages is really a destination. We did not venture much further. Took walks on the paths. Toured the grounds with tour group. We really enjoyed the tour. This is our 3rd time to the villages but was 1st time at this vrbo. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your place with us Sally.

Beauty IS Therapy.
This was a beautiful unit in a historical building on a bustling campus. There was always something happening during our weekend stay and I was honestly shocked just how quiet the unit was. Because stepping outside the door, you were met with a cacophony of sounds and bustle. Inside, all you hear is the creak of the historic floors and I found it quite charming and reminded me that even though the unit is fully modern and stylish, the history still lingers. It did not disappoint and we WILL be back! A couple little things to note for those that read the reviews. 1. The sofa sleeper is memory foam. It won't be a life-changing sleep, but it was by far the most comfortable sofa bed I've encountered in my 44 years on Earth. Don't be afraid to make use of it for a few nights if your party requires an extra bed. 2. If you have time, do take one of the many tours offered on the campus. They do an amazing job of explaining the history and settling the nerves of anyone in your party that is a little hesitant about staying in an old asylum/state hospital. 3. If you book this unit (or any on campus) make your dining reservations now. We let it linger a little too long trying to decide and missed some opportunities. 4. Don't be frightened. It was a very peaceful location and the only strange experiences we had was the car hatch opening on its own in the night and the clock radio turning itself on one afternoon. I was more frightened by the restaurant wait times. Thanks for sharing!

Perfect for 2-person getaway
Unit is very cozy and does not feel small or cramped. Clean, and nicely decorated. Perfect size for a couple. Quiet location with easy parking and access. We've stayed at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons many times, it's a wonderful location with fascinating history, on its own quiet campus but only a couple minutes from Front Street. Highly recommend the location and this unit. We will definitely be back.

Unique and Comfortable Historical Spot in Traverse City
Great little condo in the former state hospital development. Very cozy and comfortable condo on the top floor of the building, nicely decorated with good towels and other necessities. The whole complex is fascinating, a mix of neat historical buildings with some great restaurants, coffee shop, winery, brewery and interesting shops, all within a short walk. Check in and out was super easy. Would stay again!
