This listing is Flat 203
Each flat is immersed in downtown Traverse City. You can walk to everything.
The corner units, Flat 201 and Flat 301 have views of West Bay down Union Street. Flat 302 has floor to ceiling windows facing Front St, the main street in downtown Traverse City. Flat 205 and 304 face west for the sunset. Flat 203 faces south and has bedrooms that are tucked into the building and show off the brick construction from 1890.
Each flat includes a fully equipped modern kitchen. We are proud to offer plush king beds adorned with soft linens locally sourced from Eelo (you can find our website by searching “Eelo Traverse City”). Eelo is owned by the Vander Roest family (one of the two families that own Front and Union) and occupies the ground floor retail space of the Front and Union building. Eelo sources, designs and manufactures its own organic, fair trade household linens. It has been reported in reviews that our linens will provide some of the best sleep you’ll ever have. The flats are fully furnished with a Scandinavian feel, functional, yet simple.
The Flats at Front + Union are located within the historic Masonic Building, built in 1890 and repurposed into a multi use building in 2023 by two local Traverse City families.
For Summer, West Bay beach, the marina and open space are all one block away. The Sleeping Bear Dunes are within a 45 minute drive.
In the Fall, enjoy a daytime color tour in Leelanau or Old Mission Peninsula followed by dinner and drinks at the famous Restaurants in downtown Traverse City.
Winter activities include skiing at local ski hills, Hickory and Mt Holiday, day trips to Boyne Mountain or Crystal Mountain, cross country or skate skiing at the VASA trail, or a simple snowshoe at Sleeping Bear Dunes.
For a real treat, visit us in the Spring. No crowds. It is a time of rejuvenation in Northern Michigan.
There is no better location for immersing yourself in all the seasonal events Northern Michigan has to offer. We invite you to visit us on our website for more information on the experience as well as discounted rates.

Great Place and Location!
We had our baby early on vacation and needed a place to stay for a few weeks. The staff was amazing and this place was so great! It’s walking distance of so many great restaurants and the lake! We’d highly recommend!
Perfect location to enjoy July 4th parades, Cherry festival, shopping, restaurants, and fireworks. The unit was beautiful and stocked with comfortable towels and bedding. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, and cleaning supplies, just right for the weekend.
This was perfect for our family of 4 and older parents. The unit had everything we needed to have some meals together instead of eating at restaurants for meal. The hosts were responsive, courteous, and friendly. The location was great for shopping, meals, and bars. The parking was so helpful. We will definitely book again for our next visit.

Great location!
We came to TC for a quick visit with our extended family and found the location perfect for everything we needed - Front street restaurants and stores, Clinch park beach and walking path and a short drive to see relatives. We enjoyed the updated flats and really appreciated the quick response time for our questions from Steve!

Lovely Flat and Perfect Location
So glad we booked at Flats at Front and Union. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, our flat was perfect in every way! Beds and pillows were amazingly comfortable. We were able to walk everywhere and also had a very convenient parking spot. Now when we stay in Traverse City this is the only place we’ll be staying! Highly recommend.
What an amazing condo situated in a great location. Walking distance to all of the amazing restaurants, bars and shopping in downtown Traverse City! This condo did not disappoint.
Absolutely adorable and clean stay. Rooms were so cozy and dark for nighttime. Bathrooms were clean and fully stocked. The towels were so soft and luxurious and the comforters were dreamy. Lots of bedding and towels, never had a need for anything. There were even extra batteries for the remote when it died. Great location in the center of it all. Highly HIGHLY recommend.
