4 couples were together for a golf weekend, the home is very large and beautiful. Plenty of room for all of us, there were rooms that we never even used.

Great home in a quiet remote setting. We had 14 guys and each had his own bed. Home is perfect for big crowd with large kitchen family room and back deck. Well equipped.

This home is beautiful! Very well laid out, big enough for a huge family to each have their own space. It is set back away from any other house and is very private but still very close to town. Nice big backyard that’s fenced in- perfect for playing family games and keeping the kids in one place. Would highly recommend.

This was the perfect spot for our annual family reunion! We have always tent camped, but we opted for a Glampout instead of a campout. We were so pleased with this property!

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The host did a great job helping out with any questions or concerns we had well before our arrival. This house was very clean and spacious. We would definitely love to return

Our group loved this home. It was larger than photos depicted it to be and everyone had a bed. The location is beautiful too and off the main road. The property owners were also fantastic and were very responsible. Would definitely come back!

Our family spent the Thanksgiving holiday/weekend here. We loved this cabin! It is roomy, cozy, well equipped. The location is perfect, secluded. My only suggestion to the cleaning crew was to clean under the beds and not to keep the extra bedsheets and towels in the kitchen pantry! It definitely absorbs all the kitchen smells. Fortunately, there was laundry detergent (but we also brought ours, which we left for future visitors to use) and we refreshed all the linens we would use. Other than that, this cabin is on our "would come back" list and we are already planning our next trip here! Also, we have recommended it to all our family and friends! :)
Property manager was also very quick to respond and friendly!

We spent a week at this property. There were 11 adults, 2 5 year-olds, and a toddler in attendance. The house and grounds are beautiful and clean. There are gates to block toddlers at the steps which was a great comfort. The home is 10 minutes from Petoskey State Park. We spent much time at the beach there. It is about the same distance from the downtown area. The night sky is spectacular in the backyard. I can’t say enough good things about this property!

Log Home
The house and grounds are very well done. The amenities were beautiful. Bathrooms clean and good sized. All equipment worked fine. We had a good time there. The only drawback was the A/C . Some of our days were in the high 80's. With a single control zone, that meant that the 2nd floor was 75, the 1st floor was 70 and the basement was about 67. The ducting should be balanced to pump more to the 2nd floor, knowing that the cold air will drop to the lower floors.
Again, we had a good time at the Log Home and would recommend it to anyone who would want to rent it.

Perfect Ski Lodge for Large Group (20)
Home was perfect size for group of 18 (8 adults and 10 kids ages 10-17) across 4 families. Teens had their own hangout space in the basement while adults had the cozy family room. By cozy I mean warm and comfortable because it definitely is not small. It was perfect for a 4 day, 4 night stay. Great location for skiing at Boyne resorts (both locations). My only reason for 4 stars is there was garbage left in the garbage cans and the listing did not indicate the difficult driveway and the need for 4wheel / AWD to make it up the driveway. We had one family whose minivan couldn’t make it up the hills. There are new appliances and work was still being done on the home which will increase the space and add extra laundry. Owner was very responsive to any issues that came up. Would definitely stay here again!!

This property is close to downtown Petoskey. It is a large home with several bedroom configurations and extra bathrooms. It is excellent space in a great location. However, the property needed a little TLC. A through cleaning between guests is a must. Some extra items like toilet paper refills, bathroom essentials (those things someone might forget) in the bathrooms, a basket of throw blankets in the living room, maybe a bookshelf with puzzles and board games, etc... We stay in vacation rentals regularly and were surprised by how much we missed those extra touches in this rental. It's a new listing, so maybe the owner will add those things for future guests.

Dangerous
freezer broke, the floor downstairs was so hot you had to wear shoes, couldn’t lock front door, TV was out in GR for 3 out of the 5 days. I fell because of the high lip of the sliding glass door and the heights of the step which I brought up to Rob the bruising was so bad on my legs that the swelling and bruising has just gone away!

Great place for extended family getaway!
We loved our stay at this Log Home! We had our family of six, including three adult children, plus our daughter’s boyfriend, my mom, and my aunt and uncle. Plenty of room for everyone to be together or spend time apart. So many bedrooms, beds, couches, areas to gather, etc. Ping pong table in the basement was fun. Kitchen is well-equipped. Hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap all stocked. There is an entire cupboard of extra towels. Front porch and back deck are both amazing and wonderful spots to hang out. This property is off of a dirt road but that is a very small portion of the drive. Easy and scenic 10 minute drive to Petoskey. Very close to multiple wineries. We were there in June/July and loved it. It would also be perfect for Christmas/Thanksgiving gathering.

Semi annual sibling trip
Every other year my brothers and spouses spend a week together. This time was a bit different as a few months before our stay the property was sold. New owners did honor our original price. Thank you. The house was great. Ample room for 12 of us. But we believed that if a house sleeps 22 it definitely needs more bathrooms and it should have enough seating to seat us all at a dinner table. And the lower level rooms need help. A lot of help! And the dishwasher did not clean the dishes, soap dispenser did not work. Ice dispenser only worked occasionally. Oh, and EVERY door squeaks. And watch for the hornets nest. We understand that new owners know most of this, but think all work should be completed before renting to another large group. Great location, beautiful grounds.

We are five sisters with spouses that get together once a year. We very much enjoyed our stay. We loved the location and privacy of the property. The fire pit area was an added pleasure.

Beautiful house
We had a great vacation. The house was very beautiful and spacious. The size was perfect so our family could spread out. A few minor things that could be improved…The house was not as clean as I expected. There were big clumps of dust in the bedrooms. We were not able to get the t.v in the bedrooms working. The chairs outside by the fire pit were mostly all broken. The couch downstairs had one cushion almost ripped off. All in all it’s a lovely place and we enjoyed staying there, just small things that could be improved.

The property is perfect for family vacation. The kids played whiffle ball almost daily. Perfect location for going to different towns/cities in the area.

We enjoyed our time in Petoskey.
Pro's - I guess that the best thing was having enough room to enjoy each others company, while having the opportunity to have privacy when desired. We had a group of 12 adults and the house accomodated us well. The property is secluded so there was not really a concern with being quiet. The yard has room to play. The porch is large to enjoy the outside, yet stay out of the rain (and there was plenty during our stay). There's a nice deck in back. The house is laid out well and there are plenty of utensils and cooking anemities. The property is a short drive from several tourism opportunites. The price we paid was reasonable. The current rate may be a somewhat prohibitive for a group our size...but hey, I'm frugal.
Cons - The cleaning person was a little overwhelmed. The Mother-in-law was briefly irritated that there is no real TV service provided. She missed "Love Island"! TV is currently limited to streaming, and only capable on a couple of the appliances. Bring your Fire Stick!

The property was the perfect venue for 12 40+ guys looking for a relaxing golf weekend. Rob was quick to answer any of our questions. The property had a great propane grill as well as beds and baths enough for everyone. Will stay again with a large group like this!

The house was exceptional with great construction, great upgrades in all areas, great room sizes. No expense spared in house build. Easily handled our group of 16. Bathrooms are amazing. A few issues: WiFi is metered at 5 gig. Refrigerator is too small for such large groups, bring coolers for drinks and extra cold storage.
TV had streaming services but we did not use them due to internet usage caps and satellite service could not connect to signal. We purchased and left a DVD player and purchased and left new ping pong paddles to replace those in poor condition. Cell service was only two bars but worked on three different networks. Finally the housekeeper uses what should be a pantry in the kitchen for sheet and blanket and towel storage. We moved these items to the master bedroom walk in closet and used the kitchen cabinet for a pantry which was needed for our group. In spite of these small issues we had a great time and the house is such you never want to leave. Last note: you are dealing with a property manager, not the owners. We found him to be reasonably unhelpful and not renter friendly. Just so you know what to expect. In all other of our VRBO stays our contact has been the owners who have always been responsive and very renter friendly.
