Clean and tidy
Stayed with a group of friends, there was 6 of us in total. There was plenty of sleeping space and the house was clean and had everything we needed. It is an older home in a semi industrial area and the walk to downtown was a ways away so we ended up driving.

Unique and charming
We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed the eclectic nature of the home, comfortable beds, and great water pressure. There’s a cute brewery/bar a half block from the house that we enjoyed. We did find the house to be in need of some cosmetic touch ups (paint and such), but it was very clean. It’s a pretty good distance to downtown from the house, so we found ourselves driving to downtown and parking there to explore. Overall, a good find.

Cute Vintage House on the edge of downtown
Adorable little house! Backyard was huge and great for hanging out. The industrial area its near really is no problem at all. Just doesn’t have a super charming view from the front lol. Lots of parking on the side street. Easy walk to the paved trail and downtown. Brewery right nearby too which was cute. Beds were comfy! No central ac but the units in the window sufficed

Beautiful Home on Edge of Town
Even though we were on the edge of town, it was only a short walk (or quick drive) to downtown. Downtown Petoskey is amazing and one should walk the area to truly capture all the city has to offer. The house was beautifully designed with all the amenities we needed. We did not get the opportunity to enjoy the backyard, but it would definitely be a place of gathering if we were staying for more than a couple of nights.

We enjoyed our stay. The back yard / patio area made the trip. The neighborhood was quiet and it was a pleasant surprise to have a small grocery store on the corner. The the Petosky area this is a great value.

Look Elsewhere
Poorly maintained property, inside and out and lacking in basic amenities- ie- cookware, hair dryer, a comfortable place to sit as a group, among others. Reviews from a year ago mention poor landscaping, wobbly table, musty smell, lack of sufficient hot water. Window AC units installed in a sloppy and unprofessional manner. All of these things are still the case. We were expecting a cute older home based on photos. It’s not what we got.
Communication with property manager was also poor. I needed to call, text and email several times at different numbers before getting a response.
If you like to sleep in or enjoy quiet, you will be bothered by the construction noise across the street.

Friends Getaway
The house provided plenty of space for our group! The beds were extremely comfortable, it was nicely decorated and with six adults we especially appreciated having three bathrooms. The first night, the upstairs was extremely warm, but we were able to adjust/figure out the thermostat settings for a more comfortable sleep for night two. There were a few little things you’d expect with an older home (water pressure, slow drain in the bathroom sink, etc), but nothing that had any significant impact on an enjoyable trip. The location is next to more of an industrial area, which might be a concern (noise) in the spring/summer months.

Nice
The house was nice and there was plenty of room for us as this was a family holiday stay. Kitchen was easy to cook in and the big dining room table fit all of us. It may be the age of the house, but there was very little hot water for us. Other than that, it was a relaxing stay and met our needs.

Petosky Family Wedding weekend
We were in Petosky for a beautiful family wedding. This house was perfect for my family. We were able to host a couple small gatherings with family. Using the outdoor patio/table and the indoor kitchen/dining areas. The kids loved having their own bedrooms and it was nice to have 3 bathrooms. We walked to the trail along the river and were close enough to downtown to enjoy the festivities there too.

Nice home base for an Up North stay
We used this rental as a homebase for our up north vacation for our family. The location is stellar in that it is very close to downtown, about a 3 to 5 minute drive to any of the restaurants or bars, which was very nice.
Like the other reviews stated, it is in an industrial area. We did not feel unsafe because of this however. On one of the week days, there was construction early in the morning that woke me up. However, we did not hear it on the weekend.
The clean up could use some work, especially for the cleaning fee included in the rental. We found clothes in the drawers and under the bed, one of the pillowcases had dirt and a stray hair on it. We were able to switch out the pillow for another as we were only using 3 of the 4 bedrooms. The upstairs bathtub needs a better system for the shower curtain as it was dirty and because it’s longer than the tub, you end up standing on it. It would also be nice if they provided soap/shampoo/conditioner for the bathrooms.
We used the washing machine/dryer with no issues.
Great and fast communication with the host.

Cute home close to downtown Petoskey!
Overall, cute home close to downtown Petoskey! It is a great value for the price.
While some of the reviews mention the home is close to an industrial area (and it is), our group felt safe as it is close to many other houses. It was also very close to downtown Petoskey and walkable to downtown.
The house was very cute with lots of areas to sit and spacious rooms. The backyard had lawn chairs and patio furniture. The house is a little bit older and had a musty smell, but it’s what I would expect with any older, up north home.
Lastly, the host was great and very easy to reach. We had a question about Wi-Fi and he was very responsive and helpful!

fine
Overall, the house is fine. Just a few minutes of someone pulling weeks in front would make a big difference. Inside, the house was clean and cute. There is not a lot of seating in the living area, but for our group of four it worked fine. Although you could certainly walk to town if you choose to, it is several blocks and we drove.
