A recent guest review said "The communication is top notch, too! It was a wonderful stay! It’s exactly what I hope for with an AirBnB stay!"

The home is located in a very quiet residential neighborhood. The Alpena mapped Bi-Path is a wonderful route that takes you throughout Alpena and along the river and is great for bikers, runners and walkers.

There are lovely parks nearby with playgrounds for children. There are sandy beaches .5 mile away with restroom and outdoor shower facilities (seasonal), as well as a beautiful new splash pad during the summer months.

If you love the outdoors, you may enjoy bringing your bikes. The splash pad and beaches are just a short walk or bike ride away. The downtown area with great restaurants and shopping is also nearby.

There is parking for one vehicle to the right of the home, as well as parking behind the home. The shared driveway leads to the parking pad behind the home and space for up to two vehicles.

If guest stays after issue is remedied or addressed, there will be no further remuneration or refund.

Beautiful property
This home was beautiful! There were six of us women that stayed here for our VFW State pool tournament. So much room for us all and two bathrooms was great. We would definitely stay here again.

Fossil hunting in Alpena
My wife and I wanted to get away for awhile to relax and look for fossils. The home was very clean and the owners thought of everything. If you forgot something, they probably had it available in the house. Communication was top notch and again really appreciate the attention to details.

About the host

Hosted by Jennie Handrich ~ Handrich Properties

Host profile image
Hi! We're Jennie and Josh, owners of Handrich Properties. We've been married for 20 years and have made our home here in Alpena. We love going on adventures with our 3 kids, like biking, camping, and travelling the US.

I (Jennie) owned my own custom cake business for 13 years, and love meeting new people! I now work at our awesome local gym, and love running . I'll be running my third marathon this summer.

Josh is a real estate agent and loves basketball and playing hobby board games. One of his current favorites is Terraforming Mars. He has a vast collection of games, and is always happy to loan them out if you're staying with us and looking for a new game to try.

Our properties have been beautifully renovated and are just minutes from the beach. You will have the entire home to yourself. We live very close by and are happy to help with anything you might need during your stay, providing we are not out of town at the time.
