Beautiful getaway
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! Thanks, Al!

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.

Al is a very nice host -- very gracious and generous. Made sure we were comfortable. Home offers comfortable accomodations for a family with pets and a location close to town. It is a bit rustic, but has an up north feel.

Cozy home in a central convenient location
Our family had a relaxful vacation in Petoskey. This house is just a short walk away from downtown. Neighborhood is very safe and very quiet at nights. Home is nicely equipped with everything that you need and furnishings are all comfortable. Owner will leave very nice polished Petoskey stones for the tenants. Also, he played guitar for one of our wood burning bonfires on the deck. Owner is very approachable, sincere and friendly. A bonus for cat lovers is that there are several very friendly outdoorsy cats in the neighborhood that will greet you from time to time.

Very functional place, there’s plenty of sleeping space and the kitchen has what you will need. Well stocked with paper products (we don’t always have luck with that 🙀) Close enough to town and the pier if you don’t mind walking a bit, just don’t forget it’s uphill coming back!! The outside was a bit rough, but the inside was clean and the beds were comfortable.

Wonderful vacation getaway
We had a fabulous four day vacation at Al's clean, spacious, and well equipped rental. Great location close to downtown Petoskey, we enjoyed walking to town everyday including the local Farmers Market! Lots of room in the house with all the amenities you need; full washer/dryer, dish washer, and outdoor grill/fire pit. Al was a lovely host, he sent us home with beautiful Petiskey stones and also played his guitar for us.

This is a pretty quirky guest house. There are a few odd features - you have to walk through a bedroom to get to the main bath - but overall it's very good. The kitchen is small but usable, and reasonably stocked with dishes & utensils. All the appliances were in working order. The owner is very pleasant and lives on site. He was very welcoming to us and our dog!
