We had a wonderful stay at this home. The hosts were very easy to work with and quick to respond. The home is beautifully decorated and very clean. The location to the beach is great and it was just a 25 minute drive to visit the Rockport State Recreation Area for fossil hunting. A great stay.

Fossil hunting in Alpena
My wife and I wanted to get away for awhile to relax and look for fossils. The home was very clean and the owners thought of everything. If you forgot something, they probably had it available in the house. Communication was top notch and again really appreciate the attention to details.

In town visiting family
We had a great stay over a holiday weekend. This house was great with small kids (assuming they can navigate stairs safely) with lots of games, books, and new toya to play with. Having a nursery with a crib was a huge plus because we didn’t have to bring a pack & play! Plenty of space when family came over for dinner & a movie.

Our son got married this weekend. This place was centrally located to everywhere we needed to go. We couldn’t have found a better house. It was amazing. So clean and well decorated. Had everything we needed to make our stay more enjoyable. I would recommend this house to everyone. The hosts response time to any questions is almost immediate. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Awesome stay!
This is my favorite VRBO home yet! Very well appointed home and decorated so nice. Everything was great quality, super clean, and lots of extras--lamps with charging ports, extra blankets, fans in bedrooms, snacks etc. Neighborhood was quiet and nice to walk around and see the unique homes (and to get some ice cream downtown!) If I ever return to the Alpena area, would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Girls' Weekend Getaway
Four friends from PA and OH came to Alpena, MI to spend time together away from the stresses of daily demands and work. We picked Alpena as we share the hobby of rock hounding and love beaches. This area provides all of that. The rental is close to everything and in a lovely town, providing most all of our needs. The only things wished for were a washer/dryer and air. Regardless, we already talk of the next trip to this beautiful home and area.

Very clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated house, in a quiet neighborhood. Very comfortable couch with cozy throw blankets. Nicely located for exploring the area. We went to Ocqueoc Falls, the limestone quarry at Rogers City, Rockport State Park, browsed the shops in Alpena, and saw the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center and Besser Museum.
