Welcome to your Northern Michigan getaway! This newly built, second-floor condo is in a prime location between Petoskey and Harbor Springs, right next to Petoskey State Park and beautiful Lake Michigan. With two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, this inviting space blends comfort with convenience, perfect for weekend escapes or longer stays.
Step into the open-concept living area, where vaulted ceilings and cozy furnishings invite you to relax. The fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need to cook meals at home, and the raised counter bar makes a perfect spot to sip a glass of wine while dinner comes together.
The two bedrooms offer restful retreats just down the hall—one with an en-suite bathroom for added privacy and leisurely mornings. An in-unit laundry area is conveniently located in the hallway, ideal for extended visits.

During summer, enjoy being within walking distance to local restaurants and grocery stores. Bring your skis, boards, sleds, and skates in winter—Nub’s Nob and Boyne Highlands are just minutes away. You’ll also find Round Lake and trails managed by the Little Traverse Conservancy right down the road.
After a full day of adventure, come home to a cozy condo—your peaceful retreat awaits.

Thank you for your review! We’re glad everything went smoothly and you enjoyed your stay. We’d be happy to host you again! - Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan
We very much enjoyed our stay at The Loft. The place was clean and comfortable. The management company communication was the best I have ever had with VRBO. Location was perfect for us as we golfed several different courses throughout our stay. It is on a busy road but generally quiet at night. We will be repeat visitors.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Loft and that it was a convenient home base for your golf outings. We truly appreciate the compliment on our communication — it's great to hear it stood out. While the road can be active during the day, we’re glad it didn’t disrupt your rest. We look forward to welcoming you back for your next visit! - Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan
The condo seemed to be brand new. Everything was spotless and well decorated. The kitchen had all of the basics. The oven is smaller than a standard oven, but was new and worked well.

This is the 2nd time staying at the loft. Nicely appointed condo that has been well maintained and is centrally located to restaurants and downtown Petoskey. The only potential negative is that the bedrooms face the street, so traffic noise can sometimes be an issue.

Thanks so much for coming back to stay with us—we really appreciate it! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the condo again and found the location convenient for exploring downtown Petoskey. Thanks also for the note about the street noise; we know it can be a trade-off with being so close to everything, and we appreciate your understanding.

What a fantastic review of the Loft, Judy! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! - Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan
Everything about the location was as advertised. I worried that there would be a lot of noise from the road nearby but it was not a problem at all. Also, the air conditioning was excellent, which is a rare feature in the area.

Great condo with great amenities. Located between Harbor Springs and Petoskey, so good location...it is off of a main road if that is a concern for you, but worked out just fine for us. Management company is super responsive and friendly if you need anything during your stay. Really appreciate this being a pet friendly destination, it worked out great for our family. The condo is super clean and all furnishings are in excellent condition. Definitely recommend.

Thank you for reviewing your stay at The Loft! - Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan
10 nights at the Loft. 2BR, 2 bath, nicely appointed, with all the required furnishings. Convenient location, with the Brewery Pub & Restaurant directly across the street and conveniently located to Petoskey and Harbor Springs (5-10 minutes depending on where you are going).
Definitely a very good price/value unit!
The beds were comfy and the space was nice. The main bathroom floor had so much hair on it, that it was yucky to use without sweeping it. Location was great. If you have trouble sleeping with traffic noise you might want to look at someplace else as it is right next to the road.

We loved the Loft! Beautifully decorated, it is clean and airy, with modern art touches. The open layout is uncluttered and really helped me to relax. It is well-equipped, and the beds are comfortable. A second-floor balcony and a gathering area outdoors add to the charm. Very convenient to both Harbor Springs and Petoskey; close to restaurants and shops and just a minute or two from the state forest entrance. We would happily stay here again.
