Quiet, clean, and beautiful. Check in and check out was very easy. When we arrived, the house was clean and inviting. Everything is beautifully decorated and the beds were very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet. The walk to the river was a little further than expected, but the walk was fantastic.

Great Up North Getaway

My husband and I stayed here with a couple of friends for a long weekend and we had a great time! The house is in great proximity to Charlevoix, Petoskey & Harbor Springs. Check in and check out was super easy, the house was very clean, and the spacious kitchen made it easy to cook meals in.

Beautiful cozy cabin

Our stay was pretty close to perfect. Everything was clean, and beautifully decorated. The wi-fi worked great, the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and we even had a friendly little cat visit us outside regularly. It was a little smaller than expected, but not a huge deal. The water pressure in the shower needs to be addressed, as it is pretty low. The walk to the river is a little longer than expected as well, but the walk was nice, as the area is beautiful. Overall, it was a great place, and we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect ski getaway

This cabin was perfect for our ski getaway. The cabin was super clean and perfect for our family of 4 (and our black lab). It was just a quick drive to both Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob!

Sweet & cozy getaway cabin

We stayed here for the week, while skiing at The Highlands, just 15 min away. It was easy to get in and out, and a cute little cabin. The kitchen was stocked with utensils and the shower has great water pressure. Kind of an interesting neighborhood...but nice that it was close to town and just 10-15 min from Harbor Springs & Petoskey.

Great place!

This was a great stay! The cabin was Beautiful, clean and cozy! It had everything that made our stay feel right at home. Very close to town without having that “in town” feel. Other reviews mentioned it not being in the best neighborhood…I thought it was a cute neighborhood, no problem with neighbors or anything. Would definitely stay here again!

Quaint cabin!

Quaint cabin not too far from downtown Alanson. Quick drive to Petosky (20 minutes) & Pellston with a 30 minute drive to Mackinaw City. Cabin is exactly as pictured with enough amenities in the kitchen to cook a full meal.

Weekend stay

The house was great. Everything was clean. Love the fact it was dog friendly with dog dishes, outdoor kennels and even a toy. The neighborhood was a little on the unsure side with an abandoned house on one side and a trailor that shared a driveway behind the house. There were dogs next door on the otherside that barked at times. It was mostly quiet and the neighbor kids were nice. Not too far from Petoskey where we were all weekend for a soccer tournament.

Cute Home

Cute home close to town and other areas. We have family in the mini-home park just across the road, so it was easy access to see them and go back and forth. The neighbor kids were friendly with my son and helped us navigate to the park and the bakery. Overall a great experience, would recommend again!

Loved our stay for family vacation!

We stayed here with our two children (ages 2 & 4) and two boxers. Our pups are well mannered, but this was the first year we'd brought them on family vacation with us, so we were a little nervous about them adjusting to a new environment. The cabin was so comfy and clean! It had everything we could have needed. We all felt right at home. Our kids found the coloring book stash and puzzle drawer as soon as we arrived, so they stayed busy while we unloaded and unpacked. They also loved all of the duck/hunting decor. I think it was the highlight of their trip. We will definitely book again if we return to the area. 10/10 recommend.

It was adequate

Not really recommended for non-pet owners. Everything worked except we couldn't make the AC/Heat unit work. Furnishings were fine.
