Loved the house

We loved the house. The location is absolutely perfect. Al is a great host and was so welcoming. Our kids loved searching for petoskey rocks, and Al was able to give them tips on where to search. He was so kind and also gave them several polished stones. We loved exploring Petoskey. Bear River Park was a really near area right in the middle of downtown. Thanks Al, and we can’t wait to come back!

Up North getaway

Dear Al, Thank You for hosting and allowing us to stay in your house. We love your place-it is quiet, spacious, comfortable and unique. It is in a good neighborhood, and walking distance to the charming downtown with shops and restaurants. It is close proximity to the lakes and Petoskey State Park. We especially love the personal touches throughout your house that you provided during our stay. The house reminded us of an addition my father in law built onto his house, but with even more artistic & character. It also reminded me of my grandfather who used his creativity to build things around the house and handmade things for family & friends. Thank You Al for your kindness and for making us feel "at home". We had a great stay & had so much fun exploring Petoskey, Mackinac Island, & Charlevoix. We will come back & stay at your place again. Sincerely-Loanie & family.p.s. Thank you for the Petoskey stones!

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!
