This property has a wonderful view of the lake and is within walking distance to downtown Petoskey. It was clean & nicely furnished. The bed was extremely comfortable. Bathroom was very spacious.
Great location. Easy walking distance to downtown shopping and restaurants through the waterfront park. Pedestrian tunnel from the park to downtown has a beautiful mural. No major roads to cross. Large green space ( part of the waterfront park) is across from the house and close to the Petoskey break wall.The Petoskey Wheelway is right out the back of the property. The sidewalk visible in the picture is the WheelWay.
This was our 2nd year renting this property. Such a perfect location and a great place to relax between all the places we like to visit in town. Highly recommend JoJoâs Cookies just off of 31 while in town and itâs just down the road from a beautiful park and playground overlooking Lake Michigan that our kiddo loved to play at during our stay.
A family member who lives in Petoskey passed away so we needed a quick place to stay on last minuteâs notice. My husband found this place as last resort since everywhere was booked! Itâs a very cute place and just what we needed. Being near Lake Michigan is always beautiful. ***** beach towels would have been nice đ
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming property in Petoskey. As advertised, there are lovely views and it's a great location! It's a very short walk to the village shops, there are well-maintained bicycle paths, and there are several other northern Michigan towns a short drive away. We will return next year!
Apt. was smaller than our previous rental but was sufficient. Everything turned out well. Location was great. Our downstairs neighbors were friendly and around our same age.
The location was absolutely fabulous. The views of Little Traverse Bay and access to the park and water were steps away. You can walk to the downtown area or quickly get onto 31 to head to Charlevoix, Harbor Springs, or Traverse City. The only reason I gave it a 4 vs 5 was the furniture. The couch in particular was too uncomfortable to sit on to visit or watch TV... the springs could be felt and the slant of the cushions to the floor made it difficult to sit back. The mattress in the sleeper sofa was so thin it made a good nights sleep impossible. We ended up bringing chairs in from the deck to use inside the home. Other than that, the place was wonderful and well equipped and a great location for a week up north!
PROS: Great location, Beautiful view of the Bay, Short walk to all downtown Petoskey establishments, Walking/Biking Trail right out the door as well as the Marina, and unit had some nice decor updates in kitchen and living area.
CONS: Interior rugs looked dirty and not vacuumed, light bulbs blown out in refrigerator and bathroom, shower door broken/unstable, bed linen yellowed/old looking, dusty/dirty wood floor in bedroom area around bed, blinds missing panels and difficult to work. We were disappointed that owners knew about broken shower door but admitted to holding off to fix it until after the season. We are paying for a fully working, in order, best presented unit. Poor. Also surprising not enough attention given beforehand to make sure everything was working properly such as the light bulbs, blinds, etc.
To sum up.....Location was splendid, delivery was lacking.
I think this is our 4th stay so obviously we like the property. Beautiful view, wonderful location and great layout for two adults. We did just fine with the stairs this visit (both 71 y.o.)
This is a great place for a couple to spend the weekend. Very close to downtown. Sitting on the balcony enjoying the view and all the people on the pier and park.
We love the location and view for this property. Lovely walking trail along Bear River almost right across the street. Perfect for two - downstairs unit great for more. Owners very easy to communicate with and very responsive. We have already booked our 4th stay for '23 which says it all.
The view is absolutely worth the trip to Petoskey! Sitting on the porch and taking in that view was my favorite part of the trip. Our kiddo loved how close the water was so that he could go rock hunting as often as he wanted. The town is super close and we loved being able to walk there and grab another cup of gelato anytime we wanted. :) The paved trails that you can access right in front of the house are amazing for walking and biking. The views from those trails are exceptional. The second floor of the house was perfect for us. The bed was comfy and the pull out sofa was nice as well. All the utensils, pans, plates, etc. that we needed for cooking dinner were there. The place was very clean and it was quiet, so I can't really find anything about it that I would change. It was the perfect trip and we were sad to leave. We are already looking at dates for next year to visit again. It was the exact trip we needed to decompress and relax before the kids head back to school. Would highly recommend!
We are Jeff and Leslie, retired professionals who love to travel and enjoy live. We have four homes (located in Galveston, TX, Northern Michigan - Petoskey, Southern CA - Ventura and a condo in NYC on the upper west side) all of our homes are set up as vacation rentals. We bounce between our homes based on seasons and rental schedules. During the summer we works as aquitic and waterfront directors at over-night youth summer camp in the Poconos.
During spring and fall we typically plan a 6 - 8 weeks international trip, which usually includes 30 days of cruising. When we are traveling you may get a response back from our daughter-in[law Melissa.
During the summer of 2008 on a road trip to an annual conference in Lexington, KY we drove through this unknown to us, placed called Petoskey. The 26 mile bike trail on the lake looked very inviting but we didn't have the time to stop and enjoy it. The next summer on out way to the conference we blocked out a day to rent a bike and check-out the trail. At the start of the ride we noticed a 'for sale' sign on a house on the lake. That night we scheduled an appointment to walk through the house before we headed South. We went on to the conference and as soon as it was over we drove back up and sign the paperwork. Instead of buying a mug we bought a house. We were living in California at the time and all of our family and friends thought we were crazy to be buying a something in Northern Michigan. That was before they came for a visit - they now understand . . .
