We enjoyed shopping in charlevoix and harbor springs and drives to see the fall colors. We walked into petoskey to shop and eat. We also enjoyed morning hikes in the bear creek trail accessible very close to the house.

We had a great trip. House was nice. Lots of fans to keep us cool….no ac unit. Was a bit disappointed that check in was 6pm and had to wait down the street till 7:55 as the cleaner was still in the house.

Lots of room, amazing playroom for kids. Had everything we needed. Only an hour away from Mackinac Island ferry. Very clean - would stay here again!

The house was amazing. Large enough so everyone felt like we had our own space. Walk to town or the take trail down to the lake.
The neighbor with whom the owners share the drive way with was very overbearing. He showed up as soon as we arrived from our 8 hour drive to let us know he goes to bed at 11pm (?) He showed up numerous times during the week, with last time telling us we put the wrong items in the recycle bin (?)
Do not let this deter you from staying at this amazing house. Beautiful Petoskey, Beautiful home.

Beautiful home. Close enough to walk around town without using a car. No air conditioning and some windows don’t open so was warm at times. It would be nice to check in around 3 or 4 instead of 6. Master bedroom on first floor has no mirrors, could of used one. Would I rent again? Yes

A group of us traveled for a reunion. The house was spacious and a convenient walk to downtown Petoskey. Know that there are only two full bathrooms in the house, which presented some issues for 10 women trying to plan showers. Some of the window screens were in need of repair. I had several questions along the way, on behalf of our group, and was made to feeI that I was bothering the host based on the way she responded. Overall, we had a great time together and enjoyed the character and roominess of the house.

We loved our stay here! Such a beautiful home and perfect for our group. Plenty of space for everyone; loved the big dining table and Adirondack chairs in the back around the fire pit. And *fantastic* location - a short walk to everything! Downtown and Bear Trail to the waterfront. This house was perfect. Highly recommend! And hope to stay again! P.s. We met the neighbors on both sides, too - both were lovely!

Nice location and home
The only downside was the house had no kind of air conditioning and it got very warm there a couple of days.

Great place but overbearing neighbor
Absolutely LOVED the house and location!! Hostess was very pleasant as well.
The neighbor with whom the owners share a driveway with was quite overbearing and asserted himself upon arrival (and w/out cause numerous times after). The other neighbor was very friendly and welcoming.
Don't let the neighbor deter you from staying here - it truly is a great place - you can just expect to have the neighbor 'force himself' upon you. I'm sure he's well-intended but it's a bit much.

This house worked out well for our group of ladies. We enjoyed a campfire, it was close to downtown and had room for all 10 of us to enjoy each other’s company. Interior was very well appointed and comfortable.

The house is large and plenty of room for families or friends to gather. A pleasant place to stay, relax, shop, and walk along by beautiful Lake Michigan bay. In the fall the area shows off its beauty in the colored leaves. Hope to come again.

It was stifling in the house. There are several windows with no coverings and unable to open all the windows. When I contacted the owner hoping to get maybe a couple window air conditioners or something I was told how to close the window coverings and move the fans to blow out hot air. I know all about that as I grew up without air. However, the east facing kitchen windows not only did not open , they had no coverings. We ended up taping aluminum foil on them. Even that helped by not getting blasted with the heat right away in the morning.
The house itself is very cozy and unique. We loved that part of it. Nice backyard with fire pit. Great location.

We traveled with a group of 7 ranging from 9 to 77 years old.
The home is old and hasn't been modernized, but it is very clean, well maintained, and has a lot of character. There are 2 separate living rooms and kitchens that would allow for some separation if traveling with multiple families or if the kids wanted to hang out in different areas. The attic is also fully finished and setup with another entertaining area and plenty of space to spread out if needed. The attic did have a somewhat musty odor which is fairly typical of old home attics from my experience and the staircase to the attic is narrow. They have a very nice fire pit in the backyard with several adirondack chairs and a picnic table.
The location is great. It is only a 5 minute walk to downtown restaurants and shops, and an entrance to the Bear River Valley Recreation Area is at the end of the block. We met a few of the neighbors and they all seemed very nice.

Property mgr apologized and waved the cleaning fee. It was adequate but not really up to date or as nice as others we have rented.
