Cute cabin. Perfect for two people. Close to many attractions.

The bed in the large bedroom was awful, the mattress was essentially springs, no cushion. We ended up spending $200 dollars on a mattress topper just so we could sleep, and still wasn't great. There is a chipmunk and mice problem. They were getting in through the bedroom closet and crawling up behind the dishwasher. I love chipmunks buy after buying a live trap and not being able to trap them and having one crawl up my leg while in bed at 6:40AM I had to use rat traps. I trapped 3 chipmunks and 4 mice within a week's time. The kitchen is well stocked but there is an odor problem under the kitchen and bath sink, possible moisture. If it wasn't for that we probably would not have cut our vacation short by 3 days and came home.

Rob was quick to help us figure out the key lockbox - after you align the numbers in the code, pull the face of the lockbox down from the top.
We liked the cozy cottage and back yard very much. Important note, if someone in your group will sleep in the back bedroom: wear earplugs at night!! There's a water machine of some kind in the closet and it's LOUD whenever cold water is used in the cottage. Rob was quick to offer ideas on fun things to see in the area and overall very responsive.

Nice location to explore the area but a bit noisy, its right off the highway.

My son and I came to the area for training at Kilwins in anticipation of opening a Kilwins in Brevard, NC. The home was perfect, comfortable, with two bedrooms and an adequate kitchen and outdoor grill. I enjoyed the walking pathway behind the home which goes on for miles. I met the neighbors on either side and they were very friendly. We ate at the restaurant just three doors down and it proved to be very, very good. We would stay at this home again were we ever to return; it's a beautiful area!

We stayed at the Cottage for a week while family camped nearby at Petoskey State Park. Daytime visits were to the Park & other Petoskey parks, Harbor Springs, Tunnel of Trees, Sault Ste. Marie, Mackinaw City, St. Ignace & Walloon Lake. Thoroughly enjoyed the use of the bike path right behind the cottage; rode every day for many miles and also took walks,. Sometimes just sat on the back patio enjoying the lovely yard & a good read. Enjoyed exploring the art galleries in Harbor Springs and just took in the charm filled town. We walked to Northwood several times & always enjoyed an excellent meal. We also grilled some delicious steaks from Toski Sands Market, shopped at D&W Fresh Market, Crooked Tree Breadworks & Olesons for food & supplies. House of Pies & Tom's Mom's Cookies provided great dessert! We ate at Beards Brewery with the whole family (including a 2 and a 4 year old w/ a lot of energy). It was delicious & they were very gracious. The cottage was well stocked and had all that we needed. It was very convenient & close to many destinations to explore. We would love to visit the Cottage again sometime!

Vary comfortable cottage. The owners were quick to respond to the few issues that needed resolution. The neighbors on both sides were very nice and fun to be around.

This cottage is perfect for what we needed. As this was a working vacation, we were not concerned about waterfront (which this does not have at all) but there is a little beach on Crooked lake a short drive away. We had 2 adult couples and it worked very well. The area was quick to a lot of "Up North" destinations. The cottage was clean and appointed very well. Great yard. The owner was very helpful and responded quickly. He even checked in a couple times while we were there to see if we needed anything else.
4.9
Quiet, well-stocked cottage with fire pit, immediate access to US-31 and sitting directly on Petoskey-Mackinaw City trail was only 5-35 minutes to so many adventures. It provided the perfect place to relax, recharge and recount those ziplining, parasailing, horseback riding and other adventures around the fire after the day was done. The owners were also great, and very responsive.

We were working in the area. Great shower. Nice having a washer and dryer. Beds were comfy.

I would return again. Very well located to all of our excursions. Very quaint and clean. Safe. Loved the walking/ bike path out the back door. The only thing I felt perhaps a bit misleading about “ being across the road from Crooked lake”is that it is across busy Route 31 and then lake front cottages with no real public access to the lake unless you drove atleast a mile. Then limited beach and mostly fisherman. Not able to swim from that location
4.9
What a pleasant surprise when we walked into the cottage. Much bigger than it looks from the outside. Very nicely decorated and comfortable. The traffic noise was a little loud, but quieted down later in the evening. Lovely yard and great access to the bike path in back.

Cute cottage, beds were small for us. everything we needed was there. The owner went way out of his way to find things for us to do. The neighbors were very friendly. We had a very good trip and drove alot of miles to see the things we wanted to do.

A few issues. Biggest one was traffic noise. Description did not indicate that the location was on a major highway. We could not get location information until a week before check in. Electrical outlet in bathroom for hair dryer did not work. Flushing toilet or running water in bathroom at night resulted in jolting noise in primary bedroom. I think the owners need to warn renters about the traffic noise. Not my normal peaceful up north week. Thankful the weather was great and we could enjoy the Petoskey State Park

Cottage is exactly as listed on website. Very clean & everything you need is there. Location is great to everything in the area. Yes, you are near HWY 31 but when you are inside you do not hear it. Especially at night.
Wonderful restaurant Northwoods just down the street that I highly recommend for dinner. Portions are large so you may want to split.
The only down side for me was the queen bed. Could be replaced soon but then I do have back issues so not a good judge.
We would definitely go back when we are in the area again which is yearly.

The cottage is in a delightful setting and in a great location for cycling the bike trails in the area. We cycled 165 miles on. 8 days, only one day off due to rain. We loved Harbor Springs Farmers Market and Bills Farm Market and shopping in Petoskey.

Cottage was lovely, very cozy and nicely decorated. Kitchen was well equipped, everything was in very good shape, excellent patio and back yard. Only downside is proximity to a main road but inside the house you can't hear a thing since there's excellent isolation. But the plus side is it's two houses away from an excellent restaurant you can walk to through the biking/walking trail behind the house.

Cute house at a nice location
This house was perfect for us. It had everything we needed for our stay. We absolutely LOVED the proximity to the North Western State Trail (right beyond the backyard!) We also really liked the location. We spent a day in Harbor Springs, a day in Petoskey and some time at Cross In The Woods/Indian river. We would have liked to include a trip through the Tunnel of Trees/Good Hart/Leg's Inn, but unfortunately the weather was not very good...perhaps next time!
