We enjoyed shopping in charlevoix and harbor springs and drives to see the fall colors. We walked into petoskey to shop and eat. We also enjoyed morning hikes in the bear creek trail accessible very close to the house.
We had a great trip. House was nice. Lots of fans to keep us cool….no ac unit. Was a bit disappointed that check in was 6pm and had to wait down the street till 7:55 as the cleaner was still in the house.
Lots of room, amazing playroom for kids. Had everything we needed. Only an hour away from Mackinac Island ferry. Very clean - would stay here again!
The house was amazing. Large enough so everyone felt like we had our own space. Walk to town or the take trail down to the lake. The neighbor with whom the owners share the drive way with was very overbearing. He showed up as soon as we arrived from our 8 hour drive to let us know he goes to bed at 11pm (?) He showed up numerous times during the week, with last time telling us we put the wrong items in the recycle bin (?) Do not let this deter you from staying at this amazing house. Beautiful Petoskey, Beautiful home.
This house is optimal in its location and amenities. We had a wonderful time here.
Beautiful home. Close enough to walk around town without using a car. No air conditioning and some windows don’t open so was warm at times. It would be nice to check in around 3 or 4 instead of 6. Master bedroom on first floor has no mirrors, could of used one. Would I rent again? Yes
The house and location are excellent. The host is kind and responsive. 5 stars all the way around.
Two blocks to town, 1/2 block to a beautiful creek! A very lovely home in a great location.
A group of us traveled for a reunion. The house was spacious and a convenient walk to downtown Petoskey. Know that there are only two full bathrooms in the house, which presented some issues for 10 women trying to plan showers. Some of the window screens were in need of repair. I had several questions along the way, on behalf of our group, and was made to feeI that I was bothering the host based on the way she responded. Overall, we had a great time together and enjoyed the character and roominess of the house.
We loved our stay here! Such a beautiful home and perfect for our group. Plenty of space for everyone; loved the big dining table and Adirondack chairs in the back around the fire pit. And *fantastic* location - a short walk to everything! Downtown and Bear Trail to the waterfront. This house was perfect. Highly recommend! And hope to stay again! P.s. We met the neighbors on both sides, too - both were lovely!
The only downside was the house had no kind of air conditioning and it got very warm there a couple of days.
Absolutely LOVED the house and location!! Hostess was very pleasant as well. The neighbor with whom the owners share a driveway with was quite overbearing and asserted himself upon arrival (and w/out cause numerous times after). The other neighbor was very friendly and welcoming. Don't let the neighbor deter you from staying here - it truly is a great place - you can just expect to have the neighbor 'force himself' upon you. I'm sure he's well-intended but it's a bit much.
