With the properties scenic, vast landscape, hiking trails, and beautifully restored buildings preserving history, Kirkbride Hall is known for hosting events including weddings and receptions, concerts, fundraisers, along with hosting many community events throughout the year.

Great location to explore the area

The property is in a great location to explore Traverse City and the penninsulas. Plenty of places to walk to in the Commons, just check the closing times. The condo is small but perfectly sized for a few people. It's also very quiet. The bedroom has a sliding door and the windows that are at street level have coverings for night. If you're looking for a place to store your bags and rest your head after a day of shopping and wine tasting, this is a great place to do it!

Great condo, great location

Nice condo. Great location in the Commons. Very clean on arrival. Convenient parking. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. Comfortable bed. The only downside was it being at ground level, so no privacy from the street.

Great option for work conference

This was the perfect place to stay for a short work conference that I attended in the area. Nicer than a hotel room and loved being able to walk around the beautiful property. The condo was very clean and easy to access with the lock box.

Weekend getaway

We had been to the restored "Asylum" location before to wander around and have dinner, and we decided to stay there next time we went up north. This unit was VERY clean, very nicely decorated. The A/C units work great, and the kitchen is very nice. VERY QUIET too! Communication excellent...we would stay here again for sure. Many thanks for having us! Kim & Perk

Relaxing Getaway

Almost surreal mix of modern, historic, and natural all in one location at the Grand Traverse Commons. There's so much to soak in you don't even need to leave the property. This condo is perfectly centered in it all, and was so comfortable it was hard to leave

Close to Cordia!

Carrie was awesome in communication especially when my taxi dropped me off in the wrong location at midnight. She guided me to the proper spot via text. The space was very clean, spacious and best of all within walking distance to Cordia’s front entrance for visiting my relative. The place is updated beautifully, functionally and ease of entrance. Well done!
