    The house is charming, super clean and is in the best location close to town yet a nice quiet area. The parking is a major bonus. No street parking necessary! Would definitely stay again. Photos online represent the property well.

    Updated and well equipped home in a cozy neighborhood very close to town. No need to contact hosts while visiting as everything was well communicated with email before and plenty of written suggestions and directions upon arrival. Day trip to Mackinac Island and visits to Petoskey and Boyne were convenient to the location. Nice size for four adults.

    Easy check in and checkout process. House used an actual key in a lockbox not punch code. Home had everything we needed as far as extra linen, beach towels, kitchen supplies. Clean as well. Great location to walk or bike downtown! We had a small issue with ants by the front door but owners were quick to respond and drop off traps and spray the perimwter of the home which resolved the issue.Also the lower vent and cooking surface on the grill were mostly rusted out, not the easiest to use but we made it work. A plus is the driveway gets great evening sun exposure for all your beach stuff and towels to dry out.

    Cute house that was perfect for our ski getaway. Plenty of room for four of us and close to downtown. Only about 35 mins from three ski resorts which is great. We ended up arriving a few hours before check in and the host was gracious enough to let us check in early! Would definitely stay here again!

    Hosts were very nice and were able to give an earlier check in when I asked.. clean home, small but laid out nicely. Great location .. short walk into town and to stores. Close to Castle Farms where we attended a wedding. Would definitely book again if we are ever in the area. Just my own opinion but would not take away any stars for it .. but the cleaning fee is pretty high and you are asked to strip the beds, load and run the dishwasher and take out garbage.. not a huge deal but felt like I was doing part of the cleaning when I was paying $150 for a cleaning fee.
