🌲 Brookside Bliss in The Commons – Your Traverse City Retreat

Welcome to Brookside Bliss, a Top 1% Rated Airbnb property now available on Vrbo! This beautifully appointed second-floor condo in The Commons on 11th Street blends serenity, style, and unbeatable location — offering a peaceful forest setting just moments from downtown Traverse City, the beaches of West Bay, and the city’s best dining and breweries.

🌅 Serene Setting with Babbling Brook Views

Step onto one of two inviting porches and feel the calm wash over you. From your perch above a babbling brook and wooded backdrop, you’ll experience the sounds and sights of nature while enjoying morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.

🛋️ Spacious Living with Comfort & Style

The open living area combines modern design and cozy charm. Unwind on the plush queen pull-out sofa, stream your favorites on the 65-inch 4K smart TV, or curl up by the window with the soothing sound of the brook below. A dedicated workspace lets you stay productive if duty calls — though most guests prefer to unplug and unwind.

We loved staying here! The place has everything you need and more. It’s very comfortable and cozy and the view out the back looking into the woods is so peaceful. It’s very clean and looks exactly as the pictures. The location is amazing with lots of places to eat plus a bakery, brewery and shops all within walking distance. There are trails nearby for a hike also. Mark is a super host with so much information on places to eat that he has been to and recommends. He is available to answer any questions or concerns that you might need. His kindness is apparent and really wants you to enjoy the experience. We certainly did and will be coming back again.
