This was probably the cleanest home we've ever stay in! The furnishings were so comfortable! Actually, I don't think the pictures did it justice. We would definitely stay here again. The location was close to Petoskey, Harbor Springs so much to do.
The home was very clean and had everything we needed. Check-in and check-out instructions were easy and clear and the host was very accommodating and easy to work with.
Nice property and very clean. Issue with remote and coffee maker. Very attentive to help fix. Wish they inspected ahead of time. Other than these small issues, nice place.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Sept 2026
Thank you for your kind comments about the property and its cleanliness. I’m glad you found the home clean and that I was attentive and able to help address the TV remote issue during your stay.
I did want to clarify that our cleaning process focuses primarily on thoroughly cleaning and preparing the home between guests. My cleaner does not routinely test every TV remote to make sure the batteries and remote are functioning, nor does she test the coffee maker to determine whether it needs to be descaled. Those are maintenance items that can sometimes arise unexpectedly between stays. I certainly understand that having a working remote and coffee maker is important, and I appreciate you bringing these issues to my attention so I could address them.
Since I responded promptly and worked to resolve the concerns during your stay, I was disappointed to receive a four-star rating for these relatively minor issues. We work very hard to provide our guests with a clean, comfortable home and a five-star experience, and I appreciate your feedback as it helps me identify things that may need additional attention.
Exceptionally clean and very well maintained. Great amenities for the dog, fully stocked kitchen and nicely updated inside. Excellent communication with host. We would stay here again.
We had a wonderful visit to Petosky and stay at here. The house is in a great location and very clean. It was a perfect place for our family vacation, I would recommend staying here.
Awesome place, best of the ski season. Just outside of petosky, close to Nubs Knob. Fenced back yard for dogs. Very clean, owners were friendly and helpful. It will be our new “go to” in this area. 5 stars
We loved staying on this property. Owners were very accommodating and the house was very clean. Nice open kitchen and living area to hang out in the morning before we did site seeing around the area. I would definitely stay here again!
We had a weekend at Nub's Nob for a ski racing team. The location to the hill, and to downtown Petoskey was fantastic! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again!
The cottage was tastefully renovated and wonderfully clean. It had all the amenities we needed for a (rainy) ski trip! We look forward to future visit;)
The property was the perfect fit for our group. The kitchen was stocked with all the needed cooking utensils so we could prepare our own meals. The location was close to everything we wanted to do. The bedrooms were comfortable and had plenty of space to unpack. We will definitely book again the next time we're up in the area.
We stayed here for our annual birthday ski trip to Nubs Nob. Sandy was excellent in communicating with me. The house was the cleanest rental we have stayed in. The house is super cute and it looks like it was recently remodeled. We will definitely be staying here again!
This is probably the cleanest property we have ever rented. It is extremely tidy and well thought out. It is a very comfortable house and we couldnt have been more satisfied with the rental.
Home was well appointed. Very clean. All beds were comfortable. Great location to visit Petoskey and Harbor Springs. Host was a prompt communicator, and very helpful. I’d recommend staying here.
We loved this place, great for two couples or family. Very clean, well equipped for cooking and super comfortable furniture. On busy road but for us it didn’t matter. We got out just fine. Just a short ride to downtown and and the State Park is a few miles away. Sandy communicated with questions I had quickly. Definitely keeping this home in my favorites for this area.
A nice little house, well-equipped, and very clean. It was the perfect size for me and my 2 sons; each with our own room. It's right on the main road to Petoskey, which made for a quick drive to town in just minutes. The owner was very accommodating 2 weeks before our stay when we had to shorten our stay by 1 night. I was refunded for that night immediately. It was a nìce few days away. We had a very nice stay at this property.
The home was very clean and well decorated and provided everything necessary for a comfortable stay. Our only concern was the basement stairs. The railing didn’t go all the way to the top step, which might be a safety issue. And the home is on a busy highway. But overall, we really enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home.
We were pleasantly surprised how clean and updated this home is. We have never stayed in a property where ALL the light bulbs actually worked! The sofa and chairs in the living room are not hand-me-downs but actually nice electric recliners in great shape. There were plenty of towels available for our use in the linen closet. The kitchen was well stocked. It was like we were staying in the owner’s home vs a rental unit. Out host, Sandy, was always prompt responding to my questions and was very accommodating. If we come back to the Petoskey area in the future, we would definitely stay here again.
We had a very nice getaway in a very convenient location. It was a very clean, safe environment and stocked with all the necessary items. Thank you for such a comfortable space
