Lakefront with View - Étapes du centre-ville de Petoskey

Was impressed with location and how well equipped the house and kitchen were. Biggest and only complaint....Housekeeping

1. Vacuum hadn't been cleaned in who knows when. Roller wouldn't turn because it was knotted with hair and who knows what.

2. Sheets for pull out were WADDED UP ...not folded, in closet. Had to re wash because they were so wrinkled.

3. When we checked house before leaving, found little girl underpants under bunk beds. Grossed out young grandsons who slept in that room.

4. Baseboards in bathrooms filthy as well as window sills in major living area.

My family of five really enjoyed our stay at this house for our annual summer trip up north. As shown in the pictures, it has a great view of Little Traverse Bay and is steps from spacious Bayfront Park. Everything Bayfront Park (breakwater, playground, concessions), nearby Magnus Park (great for Petoskey stone hunting) and downtown Petoskey have to offer is within walking distance, even with young children. If you're looking for a sandy beach on Lake Michigan, Petoskey State Park is only a 10-minute drive and wasn't too crowded either day we visited. The house itself is also really nice, from the décor to the furniture, and well appointed. Unlike some other VRBO experiences we've had, the owners provided ample towels, linens and cleaning supplies. There was plenty of room for the five of us (two adults, three children). We would definitely return. We've tried lots of places, and Petoskey is our favorite vacation spot in northern Michigan. And you can't beat the ice cream at Murdick's.

In the ground floor rental you can see Little Traverse Bay from the open living area of the kitchen, dining and living rooms. Also has a nice deck with the same view. We Walked across the street each night and strolled out on the break wall for the sunset. It’s an easy two block walk into downtown Petoskey, which is such a charming area with lots of shops and restaurants. We rented bikes and loved that the Little Traverse Wheelway was right out your back door. Ride it to Harbor Springs (9miles) or the beach at the State Park...closer. The house itself is updated and comfortable. Someone in our group Likened it to a Hampton Inn verses say a Hyatt Regency, but I would say it’s nicer than a Hampton Inn. It was spacious for our family of four and it had everything we needed. I would definitely stay again!

The property was awesome. We enjoyed the view of the bay. Totally enough space for my family of 5. We will come back to this location and place again.

Great location, inside of house was updated, clean.
