Liked: Location
This was a very convenient downtown location with beautiful views of the lake! We were in town for a soccer tournament and brought our small dog with us and it was a great experience for our family. The only downside was that there is only one bathroom and one entrance to the bathroom (within the master bedroom). You are able to enter the bathroom from the hallway but there is another apartment upstairs so that makes it a little less secure if it is occupied. The other tricky part is the parking as there isn’t a designated parking spot for the rental so you either need to pay the meters or walk about 10 mins to get to the unit. If you or your pet have a movement disability, it would prove to be a challenge as there are 26 stairs up and down each time you enter/leave the unit. That said, we had a lovely time and would come back to this space in the future!

Sarah, I'd glad that you enjoyed your time at Sunset Glory. Yes, there are inside stairs to climb, or a guest may choose to ride the rail stair chair up and down the stairs. Being high on the second floor makes possible all of the beautiful views of the Bay. There is free parking right beside the building from 6:00 to 9:00 the next morning, and also on Sundays. I'm be happy to welcome you back anytime.

Stunning View and Perfect Location

We absolutely love staying at the "Sunset Glory" vacation rental. We are so close to everything in Downtown Petoskey: shops, dining, dessert, and the lakefront path. The rental is super clean and has plenty of space for a family of 4 and a dog. This is our third visit staying here and we have already booked for our next summer vacation! ☀️ ❤️

Location was perfect for which beautiful view of the bay, shopping, great food and delicious cocktails. Host was easy to reach when we needed heat turned up. Awareness only: Walls are a little thin. We had a loud "neighbor" in Sunset.Glory apartment next door, also the bathroom is off then main bedroom, so others need to go through your bedroom at any given time.

Fall Weekend Getaway

Petoskey is a favorite getaway in the Fall. Our first time at Sunset Glory. Excellent location - right downtown w ample parking and easy access to shopping and restaurants. The entrance is very narrow, tough to carry luggage. Bed/mattress and pillows were not comfortable. Missed amenities - lotion, shampoo, conditioner, body wash etc.

Gem of a location

Petosky and surrounding areas was a true delight with great parks, shopping, restaurants and friendly locals. This apartment was clean and comfortable and in an ideal location. Beds were very comfortable. The stairs to enter the apartment could be challenging but we were given ample warning so it didn’t impact us. The only concern was the location of the bathroom. The apartment has two comfy bedrooms but the bathroom is only accessible by walking through one of those bedrooms. It can disrupt your privacy especially in the middle of the night. I would imagine it would be especially challenging for couples. But the sunset views were amazing!

Great location

Stayed at the property for a friends wedding nearby. The apartment was the perfect location. Beautiful view of the bay from the apartment and on the corner of town. It was very easy to just get on the road to other towns without having to drive through town. The actual town was completely walkable from the apartment. Convenient coffee shop across the street, close to restaurants and bars. The parking spot next to the apartment was usually available. I did have to park across the main road at the museum once and was almost hit by a truck crossing the street. I was in distracted, had the pedestrian sign, but the angle of the street made it impossible for me to see if anyone was turning left from behind me. He clearly didn’t look to see if someone was in the crosswalk so if parking down there please be extra careful
