The house was a perfect spot to be close to the water while still feeling secluded from the hustle of town. A very short walk over a small dune to a secluded beach, and amazing sunsets just a short walk down the road. House was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. Great selection of restaurants nearby as well. This was a perfect place for short trips to Petoskey, Mackinaw City and the tunnel of trees, and a long day spent on the upper peninsula.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Was in town for our sons wedding. Great location. Deer in the yard all the time. Beach right across the road. Outside deck needs some upkeep and cleaning, but overall a great place to stay. Would stay there again. Management was very helpful getting us another location, when our original location stopped being a VRBO after we had it booked.

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There was an outside odor the duration of our stay. Occasionally it drifted into the house. We thought skunk initially but concluded it more like a sewage odor. Unpleasant. Also no hair dryer that we could find. Otherwise great property!
