Everything was absolutely amazing! The house had everything we needed. The hosts were awesome at communication. No complaints! Hope to make it back next summer!
The hosts were very easy to work with and gracious. The house was very clean and the two large rooms were wonderful. It is, by far, the most equipped kitchen that we have ever seen. I would stay again.
The hosts were responsive and easy to work with. The home was clean, comfortable and well appointed for our group of 7 adults. The location is convenient being close to Petosky as well as the ski hills. We have stayed in many rental homes and this one is one of our favorites!

So glad you had a wonderful experience in our home 😊. Hope some day you come visit again! Kate
We stayed here with our kids ages 1-9 and plenty to keep them busy with the beach, paddle boards, kayaks. Love the location close to both Harbor Springs and Petoskey.
This was our second stay and it didn’t disappoint. The location is great and the house has everything you need. I couldn’t recommend this property and owners more!

Thanks Josh, really make us happy to know you had a great time and enjoyed the home 😀, Kate
In the area for a wedding. Great home base. Central location to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. Loved the view of the swans on the lake every morning fishing. Charming atmosphere and very kid friendly with a step stool even for the kitchen - loved that. Highly suggest this property.

Thanks Mary. So glad you enjoyed the home. Hope the wedding was meaningful and fun, Kate
I stayed with 3 friends for a birthday celebration weekend. The house was stocked above and beyond with extras. We appreciated everything from the sound machine to the k-cups. The hosts have thought of every detail. I would definitely stay here again.
The place was great. We enjoyed the living spaces. The place was very spacious. The kitchen was great. It was well stocked with all the supplies, tools, pots/pans. There was plenty of towels. Loved the welcome book with recommendations and the history in the house. The location was ideal for snow skiing and short derive to many different restaurants. Our hosts were very responsive. Clark was great. He cleaned the driveway early to make sure we got to the ski slopes early.

About the host
Hosted by Clark Hewitt, Kate Hewitt
This property is owned by Middle Brothers LLC. We are third generation property owners consisting of the second and third sons (Clark and Steve) of William B Hewitt. William B Hewitt was the son of William F and Lois C Hewitt ( original owners). This property was bought from the Conway Lumber Company in 1936 when the mill went out of business.
Why they chose this property
This property has been in the family since the Conway Lumber Company sold this property to our grandparents, William and Lois Hewitt in 1936. Our father, William B and JoAnn Hewitt inherited the property in 1989. It is our desire to keep the property in the family and allow others to enjoy the home and picturesque scenery that we have grown to love.
We hope you enjoy your stay at this historical property and are able to explore all the beauty that Northern Michigan and the surrounding area has to offer.
