This was a terrific place to stay in petoskey. One thing the description does not mention is that it is not long of a walk to the pier. There is also a lovely small park a very short walk away where we sat and watched the water. Great place, recommend.

Our stay in this home was wonderful!! Such a lovely house! We especially enjoyed spending time on the Deck! And walking to town was easy . Everything was clean and neat. The only thing to note is that soap for the showers was not readily available and there was no shampoo and conditioner provided . Would have been nice to have an sos/scrubby to clean pans when we cooked . The kitchen otherwise was well stocked. Would love to return here in the future

Overall great location and property! Lots of space. We had 6 adults and had enough room. The twin beds were a bit small for someone over 6’5”. The steps were also very narrow, so be careful. Great open area and outdoor areas. Beautiful views! Would stay there again for sure!
