Location truly sets this property apart. Enjoy beautiful bay and sunset views with easy access to Lake Michigan and Little Traverse Bay. Directly across from Bayfront Park, you’re just steps from the sandy beach, marina, breakwater jetty, playground, and the 26-mile walking, jogging, and biking trail—perfect for exploring or searching for Petoskey stones.

The home is also located next to Bear River, ideal for walking or fishing, and just a 5-minute stroll to downtown Petoskey’s charming shops and restaurants. Harbor Springs and Charlevoix are a short drive or bike ride away, with Odawa Casino just 2 miles up the road and year-round outdoor recreation nearby.

Our upstairs retreat is thoughtfully designed for comfort and style, featuring an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with a wall of windows showcasing stunning bay and marina views. The living area includes a queen sofa bed, smart TV with Spectrum cable, and high-speed WiFi. The bedroom, with a queen bed, is privately set apart with sliding doors.

Step outside onto the full-length, lake-facing deck to dine or unwind, complete with a table, umbrella, and lounge seating—perfect for morning coffee, relaxing afternoons, or quiet evenings taking in the view.

    We loved Petosky and the location of this property was perfect. It is an easy walk into town and to the walking/biking trails. Plus an easy drive to other great locations to visit. Enjoyed the lake view. The property itself was very cute and with the windows and skylights it felt very open. We’d stay here again

    Our third stay. Only one problem. We had only 2 towels. I was washing them everyday.

    Great location. Easy walking distance to downtown shopping and restaurants through the waterfront park. Pedestrian tunnel from the park to downtown has a beautiful mural. No major roads to cross. Large green space ( part of the waterfront park) is across from the house and close to the Petoskey break wall.The Petoskey Wheelway is right out the back of the property. The sidewalk visible in the picture is the WheelWay.

    This property has a wonderful view of the lake and is within walking distance to downtown Petoskey. It was clean & nicely furnished. The bed was extremely comfortable. Bathroom was very spacious.

    A family member who lives in Petoskey passed away so we needed a quick place to stay on last minute’s notice. My husband found this place as last resort since everywhere was booked! It’s a very cute place and just what we needed. Being near Lake Michigan is always beautiful. ***** beach towels would have been nice ?
