Historic Top Floor Condo at the 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.

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.

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!

The property is great and the location is especially cool being in the re-developed former state hospital. Lots to do and see, and good dining options without getting in the car. Absolutely would stay here again.

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!

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!

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.

Perfect location, we have been coming to TC for years and this time we wanted to try something different. We have always loved Stella and The Commons, so this location was great to try. We could not have been happier, the loft was spotless and the decor was great. It really was comfortable and a great place to hang between shopping and eating. We loved getting up each morning and walking a few feet to eat at Red Spire Brunch House (highly recommend reservations, so you won’t have a long wait). The bed is comfortable, our daughter enjoyed the couch and the towels are nice. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home.
