We love Petoskey and location of this home is ideal. Everything was as described on the website and so much more. We've stayed at many vacation rentals and this was one of the nicest stays we've had.
The location was close to downtown Petoskey. Rental was clean & comfortable. Our second time staying here was as enjoyable as first visit in 2022.Would recommend this home to anyone visiting Northern Michigan.
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.
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.
Great location to be able to walk downtown with safety and ease. All needed supplies were included and kitchen well stocked. Only crazy thing was the snow melt that leaked into the basement where the washer and drier are!
3 1/2 Blocks from town, very clean, and good accommodations. Check-in and check-out procedures very easy. Loved the beach chairs & toys, and bikes are available in the shed. Would recommend for couple or small family stay.

Nice property, well maintained and clean as advertised. One of the most well equipped VRBOs I have stayed at.
This property was a great anniversary weekend getaway for me and my wife. The house was incredibly clean, the location is perfect and the communication with the owner was clear and concise. Definitely recommend this property for anyone looking to stay in Petoskey.
We enjoyed a week in petoskey with this house as our home base. Fabulous location as we walked to coffee every morning and enjoyed the Petoskey NYE celebration. We were able to visit three ski mountains during this visit - all less than 30 mins away! So wonderful to have our dog with us. Would recommend to other families with dogs but make sure you read the listing so you know about the number of beds- I hadn’t done that and spent the week sleeping with my daughter!
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!
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
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.
