What a nice place

This the second time we stay at this wonderful house in Petoskey. This is a former small church with very large living area on the main floor. There is amazing panoramic view of Little Traverse Bay from the main bedroom upstairs. You are walking distance (5-10 min) from all the nice shops and restaurants downtown Petoskey. We would love to come back again…

Great Lakes Great Times

We had a fantastic week staying here for my brother’s wedding in Bay Harbor. The location is perfect for exploring downtown Petoskey, and the deck and master bedroom have great views of the lake. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had.

Family Reunion For Birthday Celebration

This house was the perfect place for eight family members to gather. We had plenty of space and everyone slept well. Our host was fantastic, easy to correspond with via text. She even added special touches to the home and a birthday gift to enhance our surprise celebrations. She was flexible with our check out time so no one felt rushed. It was a lovely spot to be together and we were able to fill the house with laughter and love.

Petoskey Perfection

We truly enjoyed this lovely and unique home. Having been a church decades ago, we felt blessed. The location is so perfect since we could walk to everything. Our host was very helpful for both check-in and as an information resource. We never cooked anything, but the kitchen looked ready-to-go. We highly recommend and would return for sure.

Beautiful home with a great location

This property was fantastic for our family of 5 during our trip to Petoskey. It was close to everything and had a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. It had everything we needed to feel at home. The property owner was very friendly and responsive, making sure we had everything we needed during our stay. We would love to stay again in the future.

Beautiful

The property has wonderful views of Little Traverse Bay and the rooftops of Petoskey. Its location is close to downtown Petoskey and very walkable but quiet and sereen. Bedding is very comfy. Towels are cozy and soft. The kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook and great if you want take out to eat in your own private space with view of the Bay. It was our second time in the home and it won't be our last.

The house is just beautiful. Location is great. Walking distance from everything in Petoskey. The view to Little Traverse bay is stunning. You can see Boyne Highlands and from Nub’s Nob ski resorts from the windows and they are just under 20 minutes away. We would love to return in the future.

Fantastic Stay!

Best girls get away spot ever! Lot of room, clean and completely equipped - not to mention the BEST location so close to everything! Dawn was very reachable and promptly answered a text Saturday evening when we had a question. This property is exactly as represented in the description (unlike some other VRBO's). Book this and you will not be disappointed.

Location & views!

We loved this house - amazing location close to town with amazing views. The home had everything we needed. Just a heads-up - there's lots of stairs! I had recently had ankle surgery so was a bit difficult to navigate but we managed. Hoping to return next year fully healed to tackle the stairs :) Our 2 year old & 5 year old loved the loft area and bunk beds.

Perfect Petosky stay

We have been VRBO users for many years. This property was the best we have ever enjoyed. Spacious living area, comfy king bed, perfect location, and this property had more amenities that we have ever enjoyed before. A COMPLETELY stocked kitchen, more towels than we could ever use, games, books, a yoga mat and dvd - just a fabulous experience all around. We will be certain to rent again should we return to this area. Thanks again!
