Well-located, well appointed/stocked. Comfortable beds, bedding and baths. Only TV is in lowest level game room area, a bit chilly with the weather, but faux fire helped. Enjoyed our stay, with easy access to Petoskey, Charlevoix, Harbor Springs and Mackinac Island. Clear communications, clean, quiet property.

This home was a remote location but centrally located.
It was great for our extended family to have difeeeent levels of the house to sprawl out in! And the location was a short drive from everything they wanted to explore.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was spacious, clean, updated and had just about every odd and end we needed!! The owners were responsive and directions for access and checkout were very clear. I’d highly recommend this property!!

Thank you so much Elena! We are delighted to have you as guests!
My wife and six children thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The children played table tennis, connect 4, and Clue. We had lovely family time on the deck watching deer. It is very clean and close to downtown Harbor Springs, which we love. We will return for sure!
This is a terrific property that is centrally located for many key things in the Petoskey area. We loved the layout and cleanliness of the house, and really appreciate the ease of connecting with the owner. This location was perfect for our multigenerational Up North adventure and placed us in the bullseye for Mackinac Island, Petoskey State Park,and Harbor Springs.

Andrew, Thank you so much for staying with us. We will be delighted to host you and your family again! Sincerely, Lindsay
The house was very clean. There weren’t a lot of checkout rules, kitchen stocked with lots of necessities. Bathrooms and kitchen is updated. Ping pong was fun! We stayed in the loft. The mattress was a little hard and the bathroom window needs a curtain or something for privacy. Even though you are in the woods, we felt exposed. Other than that, it was perfect!
Excellent spot! The location was clean, accommodating, comfortable, well appointed, and wonderfully styled. Geographically, it was equally close to Mackinac and Petoskey, both tourist destinations we wanted to check out. Communication with Lindsay was flawless. Would highly recommend!
