Great location to ski areas
I was very happy with our choice of staying here. We have 2 old dogs and we were worried about ski areas being too far away from them. But skiing was close and downtown was closer so we didn’t have to worry. Also good yard and nice neighborhood. The owner was very friendly and helpful

Great Ski Bungalow
We had three couples stay together for a ski weekend with dogs in tow. Super accommodating on check-in and check-out times! Lovely location! Such great price too for the area! We would stay there again, for sure! The layout is unusual, with a breeze through bedroom, but it works!

Great rental with a fantastic owner
We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin in Petoskey. It was conveniently located from the ski resorts we were hitting and the amenities this place offered were endless. The polished petoskey stones were a great touch that all the guests enjoyed getting their hands on. The owner is extremely nice and willing to go above and beyond what is expected from an owner. Will be coming again!

Property clean and communication with Al was very easy and helpful! Location was wonderful - nice neighborhood yet very close to shopping/parks/ski resorts. Layout of house was unusual, but still very functional. Petosky stones were a nice touch!

Great Location within a short walk of Downtown Petoskey
Cute location that sleeps more comfortably than you’d think. Great Location within a short walk of Downtown Petoskey, bit of a hike up a hill on the way back up but manageable. 2nd time staying and would stay again.

We used this home as a base camp for exploring Michigan's NW lower peninsula. The owner was very helpful in providing information about the Petoskey area and the home met all our needs. We especially love the beautiful polished Petoskey stones Al gifted us. We really enjoyed our stay.
