Property was a perfect location for our annual visit to the area. This was actually our second time in this house and we appreciate the cleanliness and amenities. Everything we may have needed was available in the kitchen and bathrooms and the check in/check out process was seamless.

Loved walking to the downtown area and driving to nearby towns, beaches, lighthouses. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms Bedrooms a bit stuffy in spite of AC; windows couldn’t be opened (Be careful of the sloped ceilings if you’re tall) Lovely backyard with outdoor sitting and eating areas. Owner very responsive

We loved the house, hosts, and area! Our stay was comfortable and relaxing thanks to how well appointed the house was. The road noise was a bit much at times but we all slept well.

I don't think I've ever stayed in a short-term rental that was more intuitively arranged than this one. Jennie had thought of everything from extra bathroom towel hooks to luggage storage. It was easy to find things like extra garbage bags or extra blankets. The home had everything we needed without feeling cluttered or like I was living in someone else's leftovers. The house is an older home and very charming. It was spotless! The listing states that there is not central air conditioning, but we were very comfortable in late May.

Communication with the owners was nearly instantaneous. They were gracious and welcoming. The house is older but beautifully redone. It is welcoming and comfortable. The rooms are spacious and feel like home. The kitchen is well stocked. The appliances are nice. The home is two story, and with two kids, it’s a life saver to have a full bathroom downstairs. I’m not familiar with housing architectural types (craftsman, cottage, and so on), but I was fascinated with trying to figure out which parts of the house were original and which were redone. The flooring in the bathrooms just blew me away. Stunning! We loved our stay in this home and will definitely contact them again when we are back in the area.

Home was clean, comfortable and conveniently located to Alpena amenities. An easy walk to restaurants. Being situated relatively close to downtown we were concerned with the possibility of noise disrupting our sleep but it turned out to be a non-factor. Neighbors were cordial and respectful. A very enjoyable stay.

Although the weather was disappointing several days, the home was great . It is located walking distance to downtown and local restaurants. The area appeared very safe . The best part was how stocked the home was with supplies. I tend to over pack and there was no need for that at this home. Shampoo, other bathroom items, kitchen supplies, and plenty of other household items were supplied in the home. The owner was very responsive and checked in to see how things were going . We enjoyed our stay very much in this home :)

Beautifully cared for property! Very homey and comfortable, stocked with everything we needed and then some. 3 adults and there was more than enough room for us all to have our own space and relax. Thank you!

Pros: Really cute decor! Well-stocked kitchen. Plenty of room for 2 couples. Nice gas grill outside. Beds were comfy. Nice linens and towels. Good location. Be aware that there is no air conditioning and even with fans bedrooms were a bit stuffy (but it was in the 80's duribg our stay). Room to improve: Has potential to be a really nice backyard - sitting areas with fire pit and chairs and separate area with umbrella table and chairs, could be great place to relax - but front and back yards were in need of mowing and flower bed tending. Just felt unkept and uninviting. Also, hand railings up the steps to both doors were very wobbly.

My friends from college rented the house together and we had a wonderful time! We were all very impressed with the adorably decorated house and how fully stock it was. The owners truly thought of everything from having extra tupperware, plenty of spices, and a book of recommendations in the area. The house was a great set up for playing games, grilling out, and enough space to everyone to have their alone time when needed. It was a great distance to downtown and we walked to Downtown Scoops on multiple occasions :) I would absolutely recommend this property again!

We had a great time at this lovely home. It has so much space and different rooms to sit in and enjoy. They provided much more than we would have expected a place to provide: baking supplies, bathroom products, along with regular items you would expect. It is easy to find and in a great location close to food and places to explore. Responses to my communications were pretty much immediate. We hope to book time there again soon.
