Quiet, clean, great value!
Excellent property! Very clean, comfortable and dog friendly. Love being able to stay here with my pups and will do it again. Very quiet area and nice neighbors that shoveled the sidewalk and driveway after a big snowstorm. :)

Home away from home
We needed a pet friendly place where we would feel comfortable leaving our furbaby for a short amount of time throughout the day. This place was perfect with its fenced in yard! This was great for all of us and very clean! Will very much use in the future when we come back to visit family!

We recently stayed here for a family get together and late Christmas. It quickly felt like home because of all of the touches. It is well-furnished and maintained. Lots of room to spread out and relax. The fenced in backyard was amazing for the dog!

Clean, cute, thoughtful accommodations
It’s definitely an old house but has been updated nicely. The house was clean and comfortable with thoughtful touches like extra toiletries, laundry soap, etc. We loved being able to bring our two chocolate labs along and the fenced yard made it really convenient. Our kids loved having their own rooms with TVs. One bathroom was a little challenging with a family of 4, but we made it work. It was certainly more comfortable and spacious for 3 nights than a hotel, and probably not much more expensive, either. The location is really convenient and close to everything in town. We will definitely stay here again when traveling to Alpena!

Peaceful vacation
We loved our stay here! We were looking for a quiet getaway during the last week of summer break, and this was the perfect spot. The house was conveniently located--we loved walking to the small beach just a few blocks away, and nearly everything else we wanted to do was within five-minute drive. The house itself was very pleasant, and our dogs enjoyed the spacious back yard. We will definitely be back!

Nice house, our dog loved it too
The house was great inside. From the outside pulling up it doesn't look like anything special but it was very open and pretty inside. We stayed 3 nights. We were on a northern Michigan brewery tour and was able to go to 5 from there. I would recommend this property

Last Minute Business Booking
I travel to Alpena a few times a year for work. This time, all of the local hotels were booked!! I reached out to Jennie for a last minute, late check in. Her responses were timely & friendly! Check in was a breeze! Can't wait to use this location again, for family fun!

Cozy, tidy, and very well appointed!!
Communication with the property owner was fantastic! Jennie kept us well informed, and always answered my messages within minutes. The property was very tidy, and had everything you can think of. Large selection of kitchen cooking/eating utensils, lots of extra linens/towels, and so tastefully decorated; it felt like being at home! The upstairs ceiling is quite low (my 6'1" son's head touched the ceiling and all of us had to duck to go up or down the stairs), but the owner is up front about that in the listing, and even has reminder signs at the house. The house has two window air conditioning units; one in the kitchen on the main floor, and another in one of the upstairs bedrooms. The house also had box fans we used, as well as two ceiling fans on the main floor. My daughter was uncomfortable in the upstairs room without the air conditioner, so if you like it cold while you sleep, this may be an issue. Everyone else in our party was fine. I will say, this is one of the best rental properties I've ever stayed at. You don't get a better host than Jennie!

Cute Cottage
This is an adorable cottage in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Excellent location, close to downtown and the beach. Perfect for us, with a fenced in yard for the fur baby. Nice amenities, including condiments, spices, coffee and tea provided in the renovated kitchen (loved the blue cabinets!). Our daughter lives in the area, so we will definitely be back.

Just what we needed
My husband, son, and I stayed here on the first stop of our family vacation before continuing to the Upper Peninsula. The house was as advertised and just what we needed. Great location- we were able to ride our bikes into downtown. Jennie (owner) was very communicative and helpful. Would definitely stay again if we come through Alpena area in the years ahead.
