The design of the place is great for my husband and I. The bed doesn't agree with my back but that is the only complaint. The location works great for the things we plan on doing too.Thank you!

Petoskey Visit
We spent two days in Petoskey and this location was perfect for the two of us. We were really close to Burt Lake and Indian River. Great location for our needs.
Very clean and well appointed, great little touches, like fresh fruit at the table and a blue tooth speaker in the bathroom fan!

Quick stay
Nice, clean place. Way better than a hotel. It was cute and had a lot of amenities for a smaller area. The bed was a little uncomfortable but I'd stay again.
Was super clean, super cute.
Even though it's attached to their home it was very quiet. It felt very private.
I think the old open food should be thrown out before new people come to stay. I also think it's a little high in price considering you have to drive 30 minutes to get to anything and everything.
They had a bottle of wine and fresh fruit on the table waiting for us. Overall excellent property just a little high in price.

Everything I required, and then some.
My daughters and I spent a night in the loft. The space had everything we needed for comfort and convenience. We felt right at home. We loved Indian River, off the tourist path, but in close proximity to everything in the area. Next time we will bring our kayaks and launch them on the nearby river.

Doug and Amanda were great, and the studio apartment was very clean and perfect for our trip! I appreciated the ease of checking in and out, and the basket of fruit and bottle of wine were a kind touch. I would highly recommend.
