We rented both the upstairs and downstairs unit for our group so we’d have the extra space for my family and parents. It was extremely comfortable and the upstairs deck was gorgeous and especially nice to sit in the morning with a cup of coffee. The location was perfect for our plans to enjoy the area. We love Petosky, and this house was ideal for our needs.

The location is fantastic. Right in the middle of the bay front and easily walkable to downtown. Great River two doors down also. Sitting on the deck was outstanding and would highly recommend staying here

Great location, the house was very nice.My only “concern” was that listing says you get the entire house, but there is actually a separate upper unit as well. The accommodations are still great, I just would have preferred it more private.

Fantastic location, wonderful stay

We have stayed here multiple times. The house has a direct view of the Petoskey marina and breakwater and Little Traverse Bay across a grassy park. Easy walking distance to downtown and the whole Petoskey waterfront, a beautiful modern kitchen/dining area/living room and very friendly owners.

Great location and beautiful home!

Our stay was amazing, fit everyone comfortably and everything was spotless. The kitchen and bathrooms are recently renovated and the view is gorgeous. Also the walk to downtown is very convenient and only 20 min from the ski hills nearby. Overall this place was great!

Fabulous location, apartment, views

This was our third summer staying in this beautiful rental unit looking right out on the Petoskey breakwater and marina. Two blocks to restaurants and shops; literally across the street from the Bear River park and walking path.

Location, location, location

This property has a fantastic location overlooking Lake Michigan with a beach, pier and marina just a few yards away. Despite the wonderful location it was actually quiet! We also enjoyed the two block walk to downtown Petosky and the wooded trails along a stream which were just across from the front of the house. We have already discussed another stay at this property.

Great property in a perfect location

We stayed at the JLM property on family vacation. Very good communication from the owners to help prepare us. Checking in was a breeze. The property was terrific; clean and comfortable. The location is perfect; right across the street from break water pier, bike path, beach and bayfront park. Our favorite part was the covered deck that looks out over the bay; wonderful place for family meals and morning coffee. We will definitely stay with them again.

New Years in Petoskey

This is just about the perfect location, with views of the water and walkability to downtown restaurants. There was plenty of space to spread out given the extra winter gear we brought along. It’s a short trip to local ski resorts with its central location between Boyne and Nubs/Highland. There was an issue with the cleaning company not coming prior to our arrival but the owner responded immediately to fix it.
