About this cottage rental

The Apple House is in a private location on 15 acres of woods and pasture land, set about 500 feet off of the road. The space is light and airy with skylights and ceiling fans, and central heat and air for your comfort. Enjoy the pastoral view from the sunroom, cook in the fully renovated, well equipped kitchen, and enjoy your beverages from the wine fridge. There is a 55" Smart TV, but there is no WiFi due to the remote location. A cable is provided to hook up your iPhone to the TV for streaming.
This house is perfect for a small group or a family looking for an escape, but with all the comforts of home! There is a bedroom with a queen bed, a day bed in the living area, and in the sunroom full/full bunk beds and a sofa that converts to a twin bed. There is one bathroom.
You will be 20 minutes from quaint downtown Petoskey, and the beautiful beach and dunes of Lake Michigan at the State Park. Indian River is 10 minutes away, as is Burt Lake State Park.

The house is very clean, well maintained, graciously stocked with amenities, and has a livable feel. The remodel from the previous use of the house was expertly done and provides a great ambiance. The skylights and large windows at each end of the house provide lots of natural light. The property is tucked away far enough from busy areas that it seems a world away, not to mention all the trees to explore and prairie to walk, and close enough to be an easy drive to area attractions. Highly recommended.

Everything from start to finish was great. The place was clean, well stocked, and had a nice homey feel. Zero complaints about this property and we would rent it again for sure!

The Apple House was comfortable, welcoming, tastefully decorated, well-appointed, and very clean. Kathleen was responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again! The property was very peaceful; the view from the sunroom was beautiful and we scared up a group of deer when we went for a walk. I also enjoyed being able to watch the night sky through the skylights. We didn't really visit Indian River, but did check out the Antiques Roadhouse (the owner was very pleasant and helpful) and got B.C. Pizza, which we enjoyed. Petoskey was just a short drive from the cottage and boasts a beautiful downtown for browsing and eating, and the state park has an iconic Lake Michigan beach with Petoskey stone hunting and sunset views. If you go, watch the flags for swimming conditions. Mackinaw City is half an hour away. If you're not going to the island, there are some cute shops and restaurants in the city. It's VERY touristy, though. If you've never been to the foot of the bridge, Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse, or Colonial Michilimackinac, these are a better way to spend a day. Burt Lake State Park is less than 10 min. from the cottage. It has a clean beach on inland Burt Lake. Would recommend this for families with younger kids as the lake was incredibly shallow. Makes for nice wading, and swimming for littles, but my teenage fish was disappointed. Overall, the cottage is a great jumping off point and also a pleasant place to spend time relaxing. It was hard to leave!

The cottage was fantastic! Lots of room and so many amenities. Very peaceful and quiet. I don't think I've ever seen pine trees that big. We went kayaking on Burt Lake and took day trips to Petoskey. Enjoyed food in some of the local restaurants. Took the Port Hopper ferry to Bay Harbor and Harbor Springs. Overall, a very enjoyable getaway. Thank you so much!

My wife and I stayed at the Apple House along with her parents for a couple nights. It was plenty of room for the 4 of us and no one had any complaints. It was exactly as described and there were no surprises. Beds were comfortable and the amenities were exactly what we needed. It served as a great location for our trips to nearby destinations. Would recommend the Apple House for an upper lower peninsula getaway!

Wonderful place with lots of little touches to Jake our family stay more like home away from home. Hosts were excellent communicators. Excellent home base for the entire area from Indian River to Mackinac to Petoskey….only 15-30 minutes from everywhere.

My husband and I planned an impromptu trip up north to escape the craziness and this was the perfect place to get away! The cabin had everything you'd need to stay in for your entire stay, was incredibly spacious, and had so many lovely details that made the stay & cabin feel unique + memorable compared to other rentals in the area (ie., The cute stained glass apple window, the skylights, the privacy, and more). 10/10 recommend to anyone considering! We will be back!

We enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were very clean and everything we could have needed was available plus some nice surprises. We saw deer outside the back windows 3 fawns and a doe! The property is set back in the trees and feels very remote. Overall very nice.

Nice home. Open and inviting and enough room for a few kids and parents with two large spaces to gather and socialize . The back room has large picture windows looking out on a little meadow and we got treated to a visit by two fawns in the morning. Great stopping spot for the price to go and spend the day at the Fort or Mackinac Island . We spent the day there riding bikes around and it was lots of fun. Connectivity was spotty with ATT and T mobile but to us no big deal . Great place to disconnect and unwind and see some sights .

The Apple House is a gem of a place: delightfully quiet, tastefully decorated, wonderfully comfortable—we could not have imagined a more perfect setting and stay. Kathleen is a wonderful host and very accessible; it was a delight to correspond with her, both as a host and as a person, throughout the process and during our stay. Both Kathleen and the Apple House exceeded our expectations; it was hard to leave! We left looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Kathleen!

A lovely family time.

A lovely family time.

My daughter and I had a great time at the Apple House. This was our compromise between my 8 year old’s wish to “camp in the woods” and my desire to sleep in a bed and take hot showers. We were both satisfied! The house was very cute, spacious, and clean. It is set back from the road (I totally missed the driveway the first time, but just look for the apple sign), which makes it feel very private and surrounded by woods. It is well furnished and stocked with necessities. I would definitely recommend this property to others, and would stay here again if we come to the area!

Perfect place!

Perfect place!

We had a wonderful stay at the Apple House. It is the perfect escape while still being centrally located for day trips. The grounds are beautiful. A doe and two fawns were right outside the front door one morning. The home is well appointed and spotless. Everything is brand new, comfortable and stylish. Kathleen was an excellent host, communicative and accommodating. We hope to return!
