Island View Cottages

Island View Cottages are the only remaining cottages located on beautiful West Grand Traverse Bay in Traverse City, Michigan.  Set on 132 feet of private sandy beach, IVC is a 1/2 mile from the start of downtown Traverse City, 1/4 mile from the Hagerty Conference Center and less than 1/2 mile from the West Bay Beach Holiday Inn Resort and the base of Old Mission Peninsula.  Our cottages, Beach House, Carriage House and Colonial House represent a nostalgic return to Traverse City.
