About this property

Charming Condo on the Bike Path, Minutes to Petoskey and Harbor Springs!

ABOUT THE RENTAL
Perfectly placed in between Petoskey and Harbor Springs this two bedroom, one bath condo is the perfect “Northern Michigan Getaway!” If you are looking for a quaint rental that is still close to lots of activities, then look no further. Located just 5 minutes to Petoskey and 7 minutes to Harbor Springs offering you plenty of options for great shopping and exquisite dining. This condo is located right off the Little Traverse Wheelway, which is 26 miles of a beautifully paved bike trail that extends from Harbor Springs to Charlevoix. If biking is not your thing, go hiking and/or walk 2 minutes to the Petoskey State Park and enjoy your time at the beach on the shores of Lake Michigan. Different from other condos in the Bathing Beach community, this unit offers a large wraparound deck that is great for grilling out and enjoying a glass of wine. The four large glass sliding doors to this deck offer plenty of natural light into the unit. The living area has cathedral ceilings and an open floor plan, which is perfect for cooking and entertaining. Cozy up to the gas fireplace after fun fall and winter activities to play games, watch TV, or just relax.

Great location! Right next to Petoskey State Park and close to Harbor Springs. The only suggestion is to provide a water pitcher with a filter.

Spacious, comfortable, great location

3 adults -long weekend- just right - could walk to state park beach or very short drive and also close to convenient grocery store or market. only a few more mins to downtown Petoskey gaslight shopping district and marina/park. Property mgt was communicative clear and responsive- comfortable and relaxed atmosphere- you do hear busy traffic noise close to Petoskey harbor drive when out in the deck but that was a small concern to be so close to everything

Unit was impeccably clean when I arrived. Property is mid-century modern and very cute. Though decor has not been updated, it has been maintained perfectly and was very comfortable. The unit had EVERYTHING needed for a vacation, and was stocked with staples, including coffee, cooking oil, plastic wrap, etc. and every small kitchen appliance imaginable! The only thing I had to buy was toilet paper! The bedrooms had plenty of dresser space. Lighting was plentiful and the wrap around windows brought in so much natural light. Even the bedrooms had windows on three sides! The deck was huge. The only con: the highway noise was somewhat bothersome while on the deck, but no one else in my party seemed to notice it. Location was easy to both Harbor Springs and Petoskey, with nearby groceries, gas, restaurants and pharmacy.

Wonderful location and beautiful condo

We loved the condo. The sunshine you get onto the south facing deck was wonderful. I loved having breakfast out there each morning. The short walk to the Petoskey state park beach was also lovely. We also loved the open floor plan in the main room. Great spot!

Comfortable & Centrally Located

The house was a perfect location to use as a base camp for family excursions to Petoskey, Charlevoix, and Harbor Springs — location to Petoskey state park was a plus. The house itself was great, very clean; beds were confortable and the house was stocked with everything we needed to spend a week away.
