About this property

the Bike Loft | Walk to Downtown Dining & Shopping

  • Conveniently-located 1 bed/1 bath studio. With a 10 minute walk (less than half a mile) to the beach, city centre shopping, restaurants, and local coffee shops, this unique setting is perfect for your Traverse City holiday. Rent a bicycle next door and cruise down the NoBo neighborhood's new bike path, or spend your days at the wineries and exploring the peninsulas and all that Traverse City has to offer!

    We are here to make your stay feel like home - feel free to contact us with any questions, and we hope you enjoy your time in beautiful Northern Michigan!

    Guests have access to the whole condo during their stay.

    There is a car park behind the building that is accessed from the alley. Please park along the left side to allow for other cars.

    The Bike Loft is complete with one comfy queen size bed, a full bathroom, a cosy dining area, and a kitchenette featuring a Keurig coffee maker. There is also A/C, high speed internet, and on-site parking for your convenience!

    Traverse City is known for its wineries! If you drive up Old Mission or Leelanau Peninsula, there are several wineries to stop by every few miles. Take your own car (& a designated driver!) and have a leisurely drive, or book a private group tour. We'd love to help plan your trip and recommend wineries as well as other local activities - get in touch!

Hosts were very detailed in check in / check out instructions, and messaged back when I did have a question very promptly. My only complaint is that for how simple the property is, the bed was horrible. Since the property doesn’t offer much beyond basic overnight amenities the comfort of sleeping arrangements should be priority. If the owners invested in a more comfortable bed I would stay again.

Communication was great and the space was located close to everything we wanted to visit which was great and convenient. The bed was pretty uncomfortable, weird smell coming from the bathroom drains, and the outside of the building/neighbors were not super welcoming. Overall a fairly good stay.

Inside the loft is very clean, much appreciated. Driving up I was a bit concerned. The building could use a good coat of paint, parking lot feels very industrial. Microwave only for cooking. No laundry. Thought I was gonna treat myself here, as the price was higher than I’m used to paying for lodging. I probably need to read the fine print more carefully. The hosts responded to my messages in a timely manner. This was appreciated.

Overall, this was a great little Vrbo! The proximity to downtown Traverse City and surrounding establishments was perfect. The property was clean and had everything we needed. The parking was convenient. It was a bit hot, being an upstairs loft unit without central AC, just FYI. Not the most comfortable bed in the world, but that is pretty standard in rentals. If you’re looking for an affordable stay close to downtown Traverse City, this is a great option!

While the unit was clean, my expectations based on the pictures were not what I was expecting. And we thought it was closer to downtown, more walkable. But bike shop was next door and that was great! Rented bikes and went all the way to Sutton Bay. Great trail! Unit was clean and comfortable.

The bed was an old spring bed, which was fairly uncomfortable to sleep on. The light switch on one side of the bed was broken, making the light unworkable. The towel rod on the back of the door was very loose and fell multiple times.

Cute Traverse City Spot with an Excellent Location!

The Bike Loft is a very clean space that has been recently updated and well maintained! The description of the inside of the Bike Loft is exactly as it was - no surprises. We found it to be quiet and well-stocked with the basic essentials. Communication with the hosts was excellent. They were very quick with responses. One of our favorite things about the Bike Loft had to be its location! Situated in a quaint well-established neighborhood, it was the perfect proximity to an affordable grocery store, great restaurants, shops and the water! We took the Tart Trail to Front Street and ended up walking near the water every night of our stay! We would highly recommend this spot for a couple or vacationing friend duo. Traverse City is a great town with lots to do in and around the city and the Bike Loft was a great home base!
