Great place to stay

The house is as cute in person as it is online. You could smell it was clean when you walked in the front door which is a huge plus for me. Comfortable beds, and just all around cozy feel. Great communication with the owners. Easy check-in and check-out. I would definitely stay here again!

Family Ski Weekend

Cute, quirky property; the perfect home base for a long weekend of Boyne skiing! Everything about the house looked and felt brand new, like a boutique hotel. We cooked two dinners in the well-appointed kitchen. A ten minute drive to Nubs and Highlands, even closer to shopping and dining in Petoskey. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice, remodeled home

Well, organized, clean stay. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Great stay, accessible to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. 30 minutes from Mackinaw City. One caveat: both bedrooms are up some steep stairs. Keep that in mind if you have bad knees or accessibility issues. Additionally, low ceilings in the upstairs may prove challenging if you're very tall.

We loved our stay! The property was super cute, clean, and was a really lovely location! The ceilings are really low upstairs, so if you are on the taller side it may not be the most comfortable, but we enjoyed the space and amenities and how easy it was to check in. Definitely recommend!

Baseball tournament stay

The property was very clean and it was perfect for our stay for our sons travel basball tournement where we played in Petoskey and Boyne City. Location to the Petoskey State Park was wonderful and we enjoyed several beach days. The only downside was how hot it was upstairs where the bedrooms were. We had very hot weather the days we were there which made the upstairs very difficult for sleeping.

Great location, less than 10 minutes from Petoskey and effectively across the street from Crooked Lake. The house was very clean, completely updated with very nice amenities. Worked great for our Crooked Lake/Petoskey trip this year. Thanks!

Nice, newly renovated, & clean. Great communication from host in advance of arrival. Only concern with the house is that the central AC doesn’t help the upstairs bedrooms much if you happen to catch a summer heatwave during your trip (fans were available in both rooms). Downstairs stays very cool from the AC. Overall nice little house.
