This is a pretty quirky guest house. There are a few odd features - you have to walk through a bedroom to get to the main bath - but overall it's very good. The kitchen is small but usable, and reasonably stocked with dishes & utensils. All the appliances were in working order. The owner is very pleasant and lives on site. He was very welcoming to us and our dog!
We were a party of two adults and 4 teenagers and had a great time at Al’s place. Easy 10 minute walk to town and 15 minute drive to Boyne Highlands/Nubs Nob. The rental is the back half of a house in a residential neighborhood, but it has the feel of a small cottage, unpretentious and homey but well cared for. A small open kitchen and living room are surrounded by 4 bedrooms, and using the only full bath requires going through one of those bedrooms (a half bath is just off the kitchen). Al was easy to work with, and kindly left us polished Petoskey stones to take home. His place was copy and comfortable, conveniently located, and helped to make a great trip for our group.
This property was close to our son’s home where we were all gathering for the holiday. There were 5 adults and the 4 rooms worked great. We didn’t spend a lot of time there but it had everything we needed
Al is a very nice host -- very gracious and generous. Made sure we were comfortable. Home offers comfortable accomodations for a family with pets and a location close to town. It is a bit rustic, but has an up north feel.
Our family had a relaxful vacation in Petoskey. This house is just a short walk away from downtown. Neighborhood is very safe and very quiet at nights. Home is nicely equipped with everything that you need and furnishings are all comfortable. Owner will leave very nice polished Petoskey stones for the tenants. Also, he played guitar for one of our wood burning bonfires on the deck. Owner is very approachable, sincere and friendly. A bonus for cat lovers is that there are several very friendly outdoorsy cats in the neighborhood that will greet you from time to time.
Very functional place, there’s plenty of sleeping space and the kitchen has what you will need. Well stocked with paper products (we don’t always have luck with that ?) Close enough to town and the pier if you don’t mind walking a bit, just don’t forget it’s uphill coming back!! The outside was a bit rough, but the inside was clean and the beds were comfortable.
The house worked well for us for a family wedding. Centrally located. Nice and warm!
Al was super accommodating and genuinely caring in asking how our stay was. Top things for us was Close to Downtown, Cozy space and 1/2 the cost of Hotel Rooms. Petoskey Stones for group was a nice touch. Will return with group.
The house is just a short walk from downtown petoskey. Al was extremely welcoming and the house had everything we needed. Would deff stay here again!
Al the owner is a good man with a great place for friends, family or both to stay. If I should ever be in the area again I would gladly stay
Walking distance to town. It was really nice that we could bring our dogs
Good location close to downtown restaurants and shopping
First impression was the yard and deck. Both were poorly kept. Items in the house were held in place with wire and duct tape. Some kitchen items were not clean. Petosky stones from owner for guests was a nice touch.
