Very nice. Clean and functional.

I stayed for a couple nights while visiting a friend on Walloon Lake. The apartment building is pretty simple and near the main road. The apartment is a really nice size and good layout. Highly recommend for a very reasonable price in a great area. Convenient to Walloon, Boyne, Petoskey, Harbor and beyond. Great central location. Very clean, comfortable and quiet.

Immaculately clean and cosy

The apartment itself was small, yet cosy. More than adequate for myself and husband, for the brief time we were in town. The apartment was spotless, which was fantastic. The location was perfect for Walloon Lake. Literally a 7 min walk to the lake, minus the hefty price tag of being on the water. The apartment had plenty of clean towels, toilet paper, paper towels etc. However, as we were out and about most of the time, we only used the apartment to sleep, so didn’t really make use of the kitchen facilities. It did however seem to have everything you would need to prepare a meal(s). There was a laundry room located next to the apartment with two sets of washer dryers. One being coin operated, and the other via an app using Apple Pay or credit card. The coin operated dryer was unfortunately broken, (which I only noticed after I put the clothes in the washing machine), so my husband ended up having to download an app, (I couldn’t as I’m not American, so don’t have a US App Store), load credit onto said app using Apple Pay, just to dry clothes. We only needed one cycle, which was $2.50, but the minimum credit you could load was $10, and then you could refund back to Apple Pay, unused credit. A bit of a palaver to be honest just to dry clothes, but we got there in the end. Not the fault of the host at all, just a building issue. Would 100% recommend the apartment and return again.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Bentley

Host profile image
Getting to know people & reading are my favorite hobbies. My husband and I really enjoy Northern Michigan and it’s wonderful walking trails in the summer( a.k.a. snowshoeing trails in the winter). We have five children that love to swim, ski and keep us hopping. Our favorite restaurant is The Barrel Back found in Walloon Lake Village (just three minutes from the rental). It sits above the lake so you can watch the boats or snowmobilers come in depending on the season. I enjoy hosting the rental and hope that guests will find everything they need at the apartment and have a pleasant stay.-Heather
