About this cottage rental

This spacious cottage, built in 1886, is updated with every amenity while maintaining its Victorian charm. Please inquire with owner before requesting a booking.

The gourmet kitchen has vaulted ceilings, skylights, a subzero refrigerator, custom cabinets, a Heartland 6 burner gas stove, and an antique wood table that easily seats 10. The large rooms and generous updated bathrooms make the cottage an easy place for two or three families to share without feeling crowded. Enjoy three queen bedrooms, a bedroom with 2 twin beds, and a bunk room: The master queen bedroom has a sitting area, flat screen HDTV TV, and full bath (shower stall and original club foot tub). Two additional 2nd floor bedrooms (one queen and one with two twins) share a huge whimsical full bath with skylights (shower stall and claw foot tub). A first floor bedroom also with a queen bed is next to a full bath (tub with shower). The third floor bunk room - always a favorite space - includes a double bed, a bunk bed, three additional twin beds, and a port-a-crib. The third floor also has its own full bath (shower stall). High quality mattresses throughout. The living room area has a flat screen smart HDTV TV, internet (wired and wireless), DVD and VCR. Bead board, refinished pine floors, lovely antiques, hand painted furniture, and joyful wool rugs grace the cottage. Side porches and sunny, spacious interior living spaces cheerfully accommodate visitors. Amenities include a full-size washer and dryer, a generous supply of linens and beach towels, and two water heaters so everyone can count on a hot shower. Many lovely places for entertaining.

Stroll through the Victorian gingerbread wonderland that is Bay View, a National Historic Landmark. Bike to nearby shops and restaurants in Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and other close and charming towns, or sit together on Victorian swinging benches at Sunset Park to watch the sun set over Little Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan. Walk to one of two Victorian inns in Bay View for an excellent meal or return to enjoy your own gardens. Create a feast of local white fish, smoked salmon, cherries and peaches, etc. in your gourmet kitchen and on the gas grill. Whether you come to enjoy the rich fall color or the summer sun, you will be pampered in this lovely 'painted lady.'

Old...yes, quaint... absolutely. Our family of 7 stayed for a week. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The back porch was a huge hit from early morning coffee to game nights after dinner. We loved the rock beach for rock hunting and just relaxing with a book.

Home was super comfy with lots of nice areas for my family to hang out together. We especially enjoyed the covered outdoor porch in the evening. Thank you for a great stay, Charlene!

First of all, my communication with the owner was exceptional. I was very impressed with all the information I was given and very prompt answers to any inquiries I sent to her. This Victorian cottage is located in a very unique and beautiful area in northern Michigan. It was extremely clean, cozy, and decorated in such a way that make guests feel welcome and comfortable in a “home away from home”. We certainly appreciated all the amenities, attention to detail, very well equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who might be looking for a special experience and place to stay in the area.

Petoskey area is beautiful. This home is in historic Bay View community, making the stay even more special. The home, built in the late 1800s, is large, well outfitted and very comfortable. A good location and we recommend staying here.
