Great stay for a ski weekend up north

Property is exactly as described and, as others have noted, it is a short drive to Harbor Springs and to Nubs/Highlands for skiing. A wonderful stay!

Perfect Ski Trip

House was so cute. Perfect size…clean, updated, and very welcoming. The gas flame wood burning stove in the living room was AMAZING!! Less than 10 minutes to Highland’s and Nub’s. And same distance to shops in Petoskey. Host was very quick to respond. Already planning my next visit to Petoskey.

Family Ski Weekend

Cute, quirky property; the perfect home base for a long weekend of Boyne skiing! Everything about the house looked and felt brand new, like a boutique hotel. We cooked two dinners in the well-appointed kitchen. A ten minute drive to Nubs and Highlands, even closer to shopping and dining in Petoskey. We would definitely stay here again!

Clean and close to the lake!

Absolutely Perfect Getaway! We had an incredible experience at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless and beautifully maintained. The home was even better than the photos—cozy, and thoughtfully decorated. The location was ideal—close to local attractions yet peaceful and private. This was truly one of the best stays we’ve ever had, and we can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Charmer

We had a lovely, cozy stay at this cute home. Everything was ready, clean, and worked with easy check-in and check-out. We ended the days with movie nights near the gas-powered stove, and just loved it. It was an easy to find home in a good location for home base! I hope we get to stay here again someday!

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was either newly renovated or newly built. It was done well. The kitchen was big. The rest, not so much, but we didnt need "big." Probably not the right place for really tall ppeople.

Review

Would’ve been nice to know about the ceiling heights, and that there was no vents upstairs for the heater or anything, but the ceiling heights and the hallway upstairs and the header going up the stairs. The only issues I have.

Great place to stay

The house is as cute in person as it is online. You could smell it was clean when you walked in the front door which is a huge plus for me. Comfortable beds, and just all around cozy feel. Great communication with the owners. Easy check-in and check-out. I would definitely stay here again!
