We loved our stay! The property was super cute, clean, and was a really lovely location! The ceilings are really low upstairs, so if you are on the taller side it may not be the most comfortable, but we enjoyed the space and amenities and how easy it was to check in. Definitely recommend!

Great location, less than 10 minutes from Petoskey and effectively across the street from Crooked Lake. The house was very clean, completely updated with very nice amenities. Worked great for our Crooked Lake/Petoskey trip this year. Thanks!

Baseball tournament stay

The property was very clean and it was perfect for our stay for our sons travel basball tournement where we played in Petoskey and Boyne City. Location to the Petoskey State Park was wonderful and we enjoyed several beach days. The only downside was how hot it was upstairs where the bedrooms were. We had very hot weather the days we were there which made the upstairs very difficult for sleeping.

Cute & contemporary farmhouse

House was nicely remodeled and suited our needs for a pleasant stay. We loved the proximity and ease to the bike trails for our daily rides. Location was also central to Petoskey, Charlevoix, Harbor Springs as well as several local vineyards. We would definitely consider a return visit if VRBO fees stay as reasonable as they were for us in June

Nice, newly renovated, & clean. Great communication from host in advance of arrival. Only concern with the house is that the central AC doesn’t help the upstairs bedrooms much if you happen to catch a summer heatwave during your trip (fans were available in both rooms). Downstairs stays very cool from the AC. Overall nice little house.

Great stay for a ski weekend up north

Property is exactly as described and, as others have noted, it is a short drive to Harbor Springs and to Nubs/Highlands for skiing. A wonderful stay!
