We really enjoyed our stay, Kayaked, paddle boarded, floated on the water, It was very peaceful. We did bring a memory foam mattress topper because we remembered from last year the bed feeling pretty firm and that helped a lot. The house was well stocked with what you need in the kitchen, except for a frying pan - a quick text to the property manager resolved the issue immediately. i highly recommend this property and would stay again.
We had a great time staying in this cottage. The cottage is very well stocked and equipped. The owners have thought of everything. We enjoyed the lake, the fire pit and the nice deck. It was an added benefit that our dog Moxie could join us on our summer vacation. Overall a great getaway.
Wonderful place for a family vacation. The house was very clean and stocked. We enjoyed swimming in the lake, which was clear and seaweed free. The lake is pretty quiet and the views are beautiful. Downtown Petoskey is only 15-20 min away. We will definitely be back!
Very clean home in a very quiet neighborhood. The back was a plus with tons of open land so there were lots of deer to look. The fire pit was very large and peaceful to sit around looking out at the lake.
Met all expectations. It was just as described on site. It was especially nice that linens were provided Great base location enabled easy access to Mackinac island, Petoskey, Charlevoix, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Harbor Springs, Torch Lake etc. We enjoyed the fire pit and also swimming in the lake from the dock.
This was our second visit to this property, and we enjoyed it as much as our stay last year. Very roomy, clean, well stocked, and pet friendly. Great view on the lake.
The place was immaculate. We really enjoyed being outside the whole week. We brought our kayaks and paddle boards and used both almost everyday. We did go on 2 longer bike rides one into Harbor Springs starting at the fishery and one into Petoskey The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook and prep our meals. The grocery store in Conway was a great place to pick up groceries. We are hoping to come back next summer. Highly recommend!
What a gem! We found the house clean and welcoming. We have stayed at several cottages over the past few years, this one was far and away the most thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need. Beautiful lake is steps away. Wonderful spot to kayak and bird watch. Bald eagles and Northern Flickers abound. Owners are attentive and helpful. 25-30 minute drive to Petosky and Harbor Springs. Highly recommended!
We love staying at this house, the owners are fantastic, the house is fully stocked and in the best location, close to everything you love about the Petoskey area. We rented a boat and wave runners from the local marina and had a blast tubing, fishing and wave runnering. It was the perfect combo of fun and relaxation. Can’t wait to come back next summer!
Very clean and beautiful interior. Great kitchen and storage. Back decks (upper and lower) great for watching lake. Very nice Sandy bottom lake front that is almost entirely free of reeds and deep enough for bringing a boat in close. We typically rent in Petoskey to be closer to family living there and this was a great alternative week for us - much quieter than the city. Internet is DSL with only 1-2 mbps and connecting can be intermittent if that’s important to you.
