We stayed for two nights at the Oviatt House and loved it. Franny was a great host and we felt welcomed and very comfortable. Breakfast was lovely. The location is perfect- a short walk into the center of Traverse City. We will certainly go back!

We journeyed back to my college town for the Cherry Bomb LAX tourney last July. The Oviatte House is a very charming home and is practically downtown TC! Franny and her husband were delightful innkeeper's and we enjoyed our 3 night stay immensely! Breakfasts were scrumptious, served family style. We'll be back!

This location is perfect for strolling along the river into downtown. Franny is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The breakfasts were good, with lots of organic and local food, which we deeply appreciate. There were plenty of vegan and vegetarian options and Franny often left snacks out in the evening. The decor style is antique but that... More

Most amazing B&B breakfast every had. All organic food. Super friendly, clean and welcoming atmosphere. Cold beverages left for us in the fridge. Felt like home but better.

Franny and Ken are gifted at bringing people together. It was like visiting with family. Breakfast was wonderful each of the four days we were there. We stayed in the Langley Rm. The bed was very comfortable, and the shared bath was not a problem. The Oviatt House is not a hotel, it is a family home. We are very... More
