The Pull-String Penthouse @ Timberline Flats
The Pull-String Penthouse @ Timberline Flats Bedroom 1: Queen Bed
This unique and spacious apartment in the heart of downtown Traverse City will immerse your in historic charm with lights on pullstrings, reminiscent of the turn of the century. This delightful apartment features a bedroom with a queen bed, a cozy living room, a convenient kitchenette (no stove), and a well-appointed bathroom. Nestled in a bustling area, you're just steps away from downtown's vibrant attractions, dining, and entertainment. Experience Traverse City in old world style at the Pullstring Penthouse!
Other things to note: This is an old building which has been lovingly renovated one apartment at a time. It is safe, comfortable and clean but also very quirky and definitely not perfect. You would be disappointed if you expected a modern exterior. But, the apartments are newly remodeled, plush, and comfortable. It is a blast to stay here, and it is hard to find a closer room to downtown at such a reasonable price.
Living in the middle of the fun, sometimes means you can hear street noises from local businesses (late night dance music) or traffic. White noise machines available in the unit to block out unwanted noise and potentially promote more restful sleep.
OUTDOORS Shared outdoor space nestled right on the TART Trail
INDOORS Unique themed decor, plush furnishings, flat-screen TV, air conditioning
KITCHEN Kitchenette with coffee maker, microwave, fridge, toaster
PARKING A private parking area is directly behind the building with one dedicated spot per unit
