Petoskey Getaway relaxing home in a great location
Beautiful, comfortable, recently remodeled 2 bedroom home on a wooded lot. Enjoy the view off of the exterior deck for morning coffee. In the evening go to the fire pit for bonfires and s'mores! We have a finished basement with a pool table. There is also a fireplace in the living room for a cozy evening after skiing or skating. A few minutes to downtown Petoskey and world class restaurants, swimming, water sports, and winter skiing and snowmobiling.

Wonderful house and hosts! Our family gathering weekend was so enjoyable. The kitchen had all items we needed. The check-in and check-out processes were super easy. We look forward to staying here again!!
Location was great, away from the traffic but close enough to get to places. Nice quite neighborhood. House was as per the description. We enjoyed our stay and would go back.
A wonderfully well stocked and amazingly clean home in a quiet neighborhood. It was a perfect base for our northern Michigan adventures. Close enough to everything we needed, but far enough away where I could star gaze on the back deck. Hosts were excellent. Would highly recommend this location, and I fully intend to be back! Thank you for an amazing week!!!
This lovely home was just perfect!It had everything we needed for a wonderful weekend! The communication with Heather and Paul was outstanding! The beds were very comfortable, the house was clean. We would definitely stay there again!
We came to the area to get married and wanted to have my young adult children stay with us, Perfect location nestled between our venue and other out of town guest.Very well stocked house and very homey feeling. I agree with a former guest that said there were more personal items, pictures and decor, than most rentals we have used but that wasn't a negative for us.
This home was perfect and the hosts were wonderful. We were in town for medical care and had some ups and down regarding that during our stay. Heather was so understanding and flexible. We couldn't have found a better place to stay and hope to be able to return in healthier times.
It was great. The road it is on is 25mph and the traffic is really very limited. We appreciated the real stainless steel pots and pans for cooking, like that's huge for cooking for us as we value what pur food is cooked in or on (my wife wanted to make sure i mentioned that). Fire pit with the wood was awesome, also the shed radio is a nice touch when being out at the fire. Kids enjoyed the snacks that were there for them. Nice large garage was great for our bikes and golf clubs. It's nice and quiet to with a good breeze from the lake and plenty of direct sunlight for being outside. Hosts were very accomidating and responsive. Overall a great place to stay close to everything.
Great central location to be able to ski all around the Petosky area (we hit Highlands and Boyne Mountain this trip). House was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for the weekend. Having the garage was great to store skis and wet gear. Definitely would book this property again.
The musty moldy smell in the basement was unbearable. The gasoline smell in the garage was overpowering, and the garage floor was always wet from moisture from somewhere. no central air conditioning, only two units one in the kitchen and one in the master bedroom, which was no use. It was extremely hot. The second bedroom had no window unit, and no fan, very uncomfortable. we have never stayed in a rental property where the owners left all their personal belongings throughout the house, even food in the refrigerator. The place was a little rundown not as clean as we would expect a VRBO to be. I would think you have higher standards. does anyone actually go to these homes from VRBO to check them ?apparently not.
This could not have been more perfect for our stay in Petoskey.
The home was clean, comfortable, and a great location in a quiet neighborhood yet near to everything.
I would definitely recommend if you’re visiting the area.
To the hosts; Thanks again for everything
This was a great property for our vacation in the Petoskey area. What a blessing it was to stay in this home. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and promptly replied to our communications. We hope to return in the future.
Great location for wedding at Bay Harbor. Just minutes away from Bay Harbor and from town. Much better than renting 2 rooms.

About the host
Hosted by Paul Aggeler
Paul is from Harrison Township, while Heather lived in Petoskey for 30 years. Paul moved "up north" for a few years, and the neighbors became friends, got engaged, and married. :-) Paul worked in the building supply business for 34 years and remodeled the home a few years ago. Heather taught middle school and then worked at the Great Lakes Center for the Arts in nearby Bay Harbor. We believe you will find the house extremely clean, warm and comfortable, and Petoskey and environs are just so quaint, picture perfect, and fun.
Why they chose this property
The home is updated and comfortable. The best part, though, is its proximity to everything! It is 5 minutes from downtown Petoskey, 15 minutes to the ski hills, 10 minutes to Walloon Lake and Lake Michigan, minutes from the outstanding bike path. Restaurants, breweries, wineries, ice cream shops, Petoskey stones - we have it all - and nothing is more than a 20 minute drive. It's ideal.
What makes this property unique
Located in a quiet neighborhood, the large deck overlooking a wooded ravine will provide an up north, secluded feeling. There is a outdoor fire-pit and Adirondack chairs for gathering with friends in the evenings. The interior is warm and friendly. There is a newly remodeled basement with a pool table, dining room table for endless card games, and a dart board. There is plenty of room in the front for a boat or snowmobile trailer, or even an RV.
