About this property

Petoskey in-town home short walk to: shopping/food/waterfront. Long-time hosts.

Experienced hosts just completed 12th season of hosting short-term guests in this home. **LOCATION** Walk to/from downtown with ease 5 minutes to ALL town amenities from our whisper quiet neighborhood. The house comes with all the comforts of your home including: central air conditioning (many homes in Petoskey area lacking) strong wifi, smart TVs in family room/master/guest bedroom with premium services logged in / on-site bikes (2 mens mountain, 2 child bikes, 1 cruiser (uni-sex) and 1 ladies mountain bike, dishes/pots/pans, bar glassware, beach chairs/coolers/umbrella/towels/toys. We also supply fresh: linens, towels, wash cloths, toiletries, etc. In addition we stock Cafe du Monde coffee and assorted teas in the cupboard with sugars and creamer in fridge. Hit your day running. Want to cook up a fresh catch from Jon Cross or your wily angler? Grill/patio in backyard. Or, utilize our updated kitchen. We would happily also consider your dog if house-broken, (please no furniture/bed sitting for pups) and generally well behaved. We keep a crate in the basement and have several runs in the large partially fenced backyard. As owners of a large retriever we fully understand how comforting it is to have all members of the family present no matter how many legs they possess. The full and queen pillow top beds will prove to be very comfortable. The couch has room for an extra sleeper along with extra blankets in the guest bedroom closet is also an option. *Please note that we have always placed a high degree of emphasis on cleanliness (see our reviews) and do our best to continue to do so. **Be aware that desirable time frames of peak "season" tend to book many months prior.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Wonderful

My husband and I stayed here in early June and the experience was wonderful. The location is ideal - just a couple of blocks from downtown Petoskey. It was clean and well stocked with all of the essentials. We did day trips to Harbor Springs, Elk Rapids, Charlevoix and Traverse City during our stay. Our dog, Lucy, enjoyed her stay as well. Thank you so much and we will return.

Great spot

My family had a great stay here on our visit. Close and easy walk to town, comfortable and clean. We had one child on the couch and that was tricky, she wasn’t super comfortable there. But we were able to borrow an air matters from friends and there was plenty of room to set that up comfortably in the living room. Kitchen had everything that we needed for cooking meals. We would def stay again.

Fantastic location

The location and cleanliness of this property can't be beat. Quiet neighborhood in walking distance of restaurants, shopping, parks and waterfront. We also took a day trip to Mackinac Island, which was an easy drive. Always appreciate a property that allows us to bring our furry family member with us as well. Great stay!

Perfect place to stay in Petoskey

This is a nice, clean, very well stocked property that easily sleeps 4 adults and has a lot of space to hang out with family in the living room. It has all the amenities you could need. In addition, it is very nice to have a pet-friendly house that is this clean. We hope to stay in this house again when visiting my mom, who lives nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Larry Tannheimer

Host profile image
We currently live in Louisville, Kentucky and are both graduates of the University of Kentucky. Married for 11 years with a 7 year old Hamilton and a wild yellow lab. Our beloved dog Belle was with us for 13 wonderful years - she loved Petoskey! Despite our distance to our primary residence we spend a month in the home throughout the year keeping an attentive eye on every possible detail.

Why they chose this property

We discovered the Petoskey area years ago and found such great relief in the cooler weather, breathtaking sunsets, quaint restaurants, great beaches and wonderful amenities in northern coastal Michigan! During your stay you will notice many comforts of home we provide to our guests. This is also our vacation home and we aim to think of every possible convenience to make your stay pleasurable.

What makes this property unique

We love our 'Belle's on Grove' because it is such a quick walk to everything we would need! The beautiful waterfront, marina and bike trail are minutes away! Great restaurants and shopping are simply a 5 minute walk down the hill - location, location, location! Lyfts/Uber sure can be spotty up north. This is also our family vacation house which translates into many comforts of home you may discover and find helpful.
