Fall weekend stay

We enjoyed shopping in charlevoix and harbor springs and drives to see the fall colors. We walked into petoskey to shop and eat. We also enjoyed morning hikes in the bear creek trail accessible very close to the house.

Great location to town

We had a great trip. House was nice. Lots of fans to keep us cool….no ac unit. Was a bit disappointed that check in was 6pm and had to wait down the street till 7:55 as the cleaner was still in the house.

Celebrate 50th birthday for my family and friends.

The house was amazing. Large enough so everyone felt like we had our own space. Walk to town or the take trail down to the lake. The neighbor with whom the owners share the drive way with was very overbearing. He showed up as soon as we arrived from our 8 hour drive to let us know he goes to bed at 11pm (?) He showed up numerous times during the week, with last time telling us we put the wrong items in the recycle bin (?) Do not let this deter you from staying at this amazing house. Beautiful Petoskey, Beautiful home.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Orth

I am a high school English and journalism teacher and my husband is an electrical engineer. I earned my bachelor's degree from CMU, master's from Wayne State. After several years in the advertising business, I stayed home with my girls until they were all in elementary school, then went back to school to get my teaching certificate. I now teach at Lake Orion High School. We have three daughters and live in Clarkston.

Why they chose this property

I grew up with a cottage in Harbor Springs, owned by my grandparents. I fell in love with the area. My husband and I decided Petoskey was a little more our speed, and spent one weekend looking at houses for sale. We fell in love with the front porch, incredible wood trim, fire place, and potential to make the attic a play space for kids. The charming kitchens - two, making having more than one family here a breeze - were a huge bonus. Add in the carriage house with a second floor, wonderful neighbors, and ability to walk everywhere, and we were sold.

What makes this property unique

Our family loves to downhill ski all winter and this location offers 3 world class ski hills within 15 minutes. In the summer, we stroll downtown Petoskey trying all of the quaint restaurants and sandwich shops, and of course, ice cream shops. We love walking along the Bear River and out to the lighthouse where our children will spend hours jumping from the break wall into the bay. We also enjoy biking along the Wheelway into Charlevoix for lunch, and back again.
