Exceptional option

The pictures posted on VRBO truly represented this home. The location is ideal with a close proximity to downtown, walking distance to the bay, beach, and walking paths. The home was beautifully decorated and we felt at home during our stay. Would 100% stay again.

Great get away

Petoskey is a beautiful town and being able to walk to the Shoreline and Bayfront parks was awesome. This home is in a great location. Super clean and has cute details throughout. The beds were super comfy and there’s everything you need to have a great getaway. This is a perfect house for two couples. It felt like home.

Perfect Getaway!

Stayed here with my wife and another couple to enjoy fall colors in the area. House was very updated and clean with plenty of room. Location close to town (walkable) and many hiking trails nearby. Beach access across the street from the house. Mike is very easy to work and quick to respond. We will be back next fall!

Petoskey Cottage

My wife and I have been to Petoskey many times and chose the Petoskey Cottage for its location. The scenic Little Traverse Wheelway, a 26 mile paved bike and walking trail along the Lake Michigan shoreline from Charlevoix to Harbor Springs is only a 2 minute walk from the Cottage. The Bear River Recreational Area is 5 minutes away. Bayfront Park/Marina is a short 5 minute walk. An easy 10 minute walk up Lake Street gets you to downtown Petoskey. Johan's Bakery is a short walk in the opposite direction. My wife and I, both in our seventies, very much enjoyed our one week stay. The Cottage was clean, quiet and comfortable. The balcony is very nice with treetop views of Lake Michigan. There is a fenced yard if you bring along a pet as we did. The neighborhood felt very safe.

Home Away from Home

It took us 3 years to finally get here, but we made it, and it was worth the wait. We loved this home. It's an obvious older home with lots of charm and character. We loved the location and the wraparound deck is so spectacular. You will definitely want to enjoy a meal out on the deck or at the very least, a cup of coffee in the morning while you are wrapped up in a blanket enjoying the tree tops around you and the glimpses of the lake. Just beautiful! The kitchen is so incredibly beautiful and we enjoyed making meals and having dinner at the large dining room table provided. The decor and styling of the kitchen, which I know was fairly recently renovated, is perfect. Again, we LOVED it!! It's hard to decide which was our favorite, the kitchen, or the living room. A huge living room with lots of seating and very comfortable seating I might add. The fireplace was enjoyed every night and the hosts provide games, books, and sizeable television to keep you entertained. The upstairs is a little dated, but that did not change it's comfort, quaintness, and function. It's all about a good night's sleep and that was not hard to achieve. The host provided plenty of additional blankets for warmth and complimentary toiletries in the bathrooms which is a lovely touch. We took turns sleeping in the primary room and you'll understand why when you see it. Loved the windows and doors that open to another deck, and then there's seating for two in front of the second fireplace. The only minor issues we had with the place were that there were a few dishes we found that were not clean and the potholders were pretty dirty but other than that, this was our favorite VRBO throughout our 13-day trip in the region. We enjoyed our time in Petoskey, very much. You are within walking distance of the downtown area but the neighborhood is super cute and quiet. We had no issues with noise at all. Mike, was very responsive to any questions we had before and during our stay and we will happily recommend this VRBO to anyone who may go to Petoskey!! :)

Great location.

The house was wonderful. The kitchen was fabulous with everything we needed. Views of the lake were a plus. We had plenty of room. Our only problem was that the couch in the master bedroom was covered in what looked like it might have been cat hair. My husband took advantage of the sweeper and cleaned off.

21st Annual Girls Weekend

This is an amazing house in a perfect location for a weekend away. We visited local wineries, breweries, the tunnel of trees, Harbor Springs and downtown Petoskey. The house was clean and the porch was amazing. We have been doing this trip for 21 years and this house checked all the boxes. Highly recommend!!

Nothing but wonderful things to say!

The pictures don’t do this place justice, it was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, communication with the owner was prompt and efficient. Check-in was great, uneventful. The place was absolutely beautiful and spotless. They had many of the things that you would need, plates, napkins, garbage bags, spices, ect…. The house is located in a great location, easy walk down to the water. Town is very close with many shops/restaurants.
