This was the perfect place to spend a couple of wintery days with the dogs. I only used the downstairs but the kitchen was incredibly well equipped and the Ruko TV's in all rooms were much appreciated. I had a couple of questions during my stay and Jennie replied within minutes. (Make sure & visit the Marine Sanctuary Museum if you go)

My husband, our puppers and I came to Alpena for the celebration of life ceremony for our grandma. The trip was last minute but the hosts made everything super convenient from our booking theough thw emd of our stay. Our drive up after work on Friday got us into Alpena after midnight so we were extremely grateful to find the kitchen was stocked with coffee, creamer and sugar. A godsend Saturday morning when we were scrambling to get dressed for the service. Our puppers was very comfortable in the house and backyard, he can have trouble settling in when we travel and it said a lot that he had no trouble sleeping, eating his breakfast or running around the backyard. Thank you guys for putting the extra attention care into setting up your home for visitors, it was greatly appreciated!

Perfectly met our needs!

Our party of 8 adults and teens had plenty of room to sleep, lounge, eat, and play in this rental. The kitchen is well appointed and everything was sparkling clean! Parking is a breeze and the neighboorhood is quiet and walking distance to lots of Alpena fun!

Our stay was wonderful! The house was perfect for my family. It was very clean and well stocked, including many extra touches. The location was ideal - only 3-5 minute drive from downtown Alpena’s attractions and 3 minutes from the beach. The host was responsive and wonderful to work with. The check in and out process was seamless. We would definitely stay again if we come back to Alpena!

This house is a beautiful, comfortable place to stay, located in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk from the lake. We really loved staying here, and loved Alpena, and can't wait to return.

Visit to Rocksport Alpena.

The house was clean, modern and well furnished. It could easily accommodate 6 people. We chose it because we brought along our 10-month old puppy and the fenced in yard made that easy. Everything was conveniently close. We had a very pleasant stay.

Great place to stay in Alpena

We visited Alpena for work and, instead of staying in holtes, we stayed in this house. It was comfortable, well stocked, and clean. It worked out great for us.
