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 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!

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 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.

The place has a lot of room. Great for a larger group! We met Al, the owner and he showed us around the place.It's simple and all what we needed for a family! Downtown is pretty close. We rode bikes and explored the marina and downtown.Al was kind to leave some Petoskey stones for us as a souvenir ❤️ which we thought was a very kind gesture 🙌 We would definitely come back!

Cozy Weekend Stay

Our family of five stayed for a ski weekend. It was the perfect place for our stay. Close to both ski hills we visited. We love the city of Petoskey, but don’t have time to visit. The host was amazing about letting us check in early and our kids loved the Petoskey stone keepsakes of the trip. The layout of the home was unique, but it added to its charm. The checkout procedures were minimal and the kitchen was well stocked. We are truly looking forward to staying again next year. Thanks!!

Cozy and comfortable

We were a party of two adults and 4 teenagers and had a great time at Al’s place. Easy 10 minute walk to town and 15 minute drive to Boyne Highlands/Nubs Nob. The rental is the back half of a house in a residential neighborhood, but it has the feel of a small cottage, unpretentious and homey but well cared for. A small open kitchen and living room are surrounded by 4 bedrooms, and using the only full bath requires going through one of those bedrooms (a half bath is just off the kitchen). Al was easy to work with, and kindly left us polished Petoskey stones to take home. His place was copy and comfortable, conveniently located, and helped to make a great trip for our group.
