Clean and Cozy
The property matched the description and photos, and was easy to find. The home was spotless and very cozy, we instantly felt welcome and comfortable. Even though it does not have AC, the breeze coming off the lake kept it cool which is critical for sleep if you ask us! The fenced in backyard was perfect for our pup, and a great place to grill and chill with privacy. The walk to Sheppler's ferry is a hop, skip, and a jump which we loved along with all the shops and restaurants. We had a very memorable stay and recommend this home!!

Long weekend
My teen- college kids and us parents stayed for four nights, with our dogs! We used the house as home base and explored across the bridge in Petoskey, St Ignace itself, and up to Taqhemenon falls- we stopped at Cut River bridge before arriving Wednesday night too. The house was just right for us- parents and dogs downstairs, teens upstairs- we made dinner the first night, as we arrived late and a lot of our restaurant options were closed- we had everything we needed to cook, and made our breakfasts before going out for the day. Thanks so much, we had a great time- even used the fire pit one night for s’mores!

It was described accurately. Could use more seating in the living room and definitely mirrors in the bedrooms. The neighborhood was old however walking distance to restaurants and ferry was great. Fireplaces put out great heat and the kitchen was fully stocked with all appliances.

Lots of space
Spacious place. Had what you needed to make meals. Only a Keurig, so you need pods if you want your own coffee. There's different temperatures throughout the home, which was hard to keep everyone comfortable. Check in is super simple. Great communication with host. Was very clean. Comfortable for us. Overall great experience.
