Thanks for the excellent review of my home. I spent a lot of time and money remodeling and I really appreciate your group taking such good care and leaving it so clean ! Please stay again next summer season !
About the host
Hosted by renee allen
Hello I have lived in Petoskey for 32 years. I am a native of New York. I went to WMU on a basketball scholarship so there of course is a hoop in the drive way. The home is peaceful and quiet in a wooded setting. I love the birds around me. It feels like you are in a tree fort when you’re out on my deck. I also live in Brighton mi. I have a house manager named nancy. She will be cleaning and take care of your weekly needs should anything arise. I love to sit on my dock and watch sunsets . The boating from here is special as you can go into two lakes and a Channel. Petoskey is very fun to hang out in. Great shopping and sunsets !! Biking trails are everywhere and I love to bike in this area !!! I swim in Lake Mi in summer and it’s five min away. You will love it here !!!
Why they chose this property
Peaceful ! I love trees and looking at water. Large yard for kids and games. There is boat lunch five min away at end of road.
What makes this property unique
My home has just been remodeled. It is open floor plan and the large deck allows one to be in sun and relax !! This is my second home so everything you need to be right at home is here ! If you look at my 100 plus reviews so many guests say it’s my location. I’m centrally located to everything great about the area. Inland lakes , big lake MI , small towns , restaurants and brewery’s … you name it and it’s 10 min away at most.
