Petoskey Getaway relaxing home in a great location

Beautiful, comfortable, recently remodeled 2 bedroom home on a wooded lot. Enjoy the view off of the exterior deck for morning coffee. In the evening go to the fire pit for bonfires and s'mores! We have a finished basement with a pool table. There is also a fireplace in the living room for a cozy evening after skiing or skating.
A few minutes to downtown Petoskey and world class restaurants, swimming, water sports, and winter skiing and snowmobiling.

This was a super-comfortable property in a perfect location close to downtown Petoskey and a 3-minute drive to a beautiful sunset park. It has a nice private deck with a BBQ in great condition. Our hosts, Paul and Heather, answered our questions promptly but most everything was well explained in advance.

Petoskey Get-away

Check-in was very easy per their instructions. The location was extremely good for our stay for our Friend's Daughter's Wedding. We were right in the middle of everywhere we needed to be. We had a short walk either north or west to see the bay. The house is generously stocked with everything you would need to stay there. The back deck is a perfect place to enjoy a drink with the woods in the background behind. If we get back to Petoskey again, I will certainly see if we can stay here again. Thanks for a great long weekend at the end of July! Bob G.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The musty moldy smell in the basement was unbearable. The gasoline smell in the garage was overpowering, and the garage floor was always wet from moisture from somewhere. no central air conditioning, only two units one in the kitchen and one in the master bedroom, which was no use. It was extremely hot. The second bedroom had no window unit, and no fan, very uncomfortable. we have never stayed in a rental property where the owners left all their personal belongings throughout the house, even food in the refrigerator. The place was a little rundown not as clean as we would expect a VRBO to be. I would think you have higher standards. does anyone actually go to these homes from VRBO to check them ?apparently not.

A wonderfully well stocked and amazingly clean home in a quiet neighborhood. It was a perfect base for our northern Michigan adventures. Close enough to everything we needed, but far enough away where I could star gaze on the back deck. Hosts were excellent. Would highly recommend this location, and I fully intend to be back! Thank you for an amazing week!!!

It was great. The road it is on is 25mph and the traffic is really very limited. We appreciated the real stainless steel pots and pans for cooking, like that's huge for cooking for us as we value what pur food is cooked in or on (my wife wanted to make sure i mentioned that). Fire pit with the wood was awesome, also the shed radio is a nice touch when being out at the fire. Kids enjoyed the snacks that were there for them. Nice large garage was great for our bikes and golf clubs. It's nice and quiet to with a good breeze from the lake and plenty of direct sunlight for being outside. Hosts were very accomidating and responsive. Overall a great place to stay close to everything.

We came to the area to get married and wanted to have my young adult children stay with us, Perfect location nestled between our venue and other out of town guest.Very well stocked house and very homey feeling. I agree with a former guest that said there were more personal items, pictures and decor, than most rentals we have used but that wasn't a negative for us.

Boyne ski trip

Great central location to be able to ski all around the Petosky area (we hit Highlands and Boyne Mountain this trip). House was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for the weekend. Having the garage was great to store skis and wet gear. Definitely would book this property again.
