This was our third stay and would come back again. The bedroom/bathroom setup is ideal for a large group. Lots of privacy and personal space inside the house and a great yard and deck to spread out. Very comfortable. The property management company is easy to work with and extremely responsive.

Great house for family gatherings. Lots of bathrooms and large fenced yard for kids to play.

This house was wonderful for our family of 8 adults and a toddler! There were many spaces where we could spread out or all be together. The property managers were very attentive, both before and during our stay. They provided a few items that we asked about before we arrived, and the house was stocked with plenty of essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap, and laundry detergent. The location was close to lots of nature preserves, wineries, breweries, and if it had been warmer, water sports. Also, it was only 30 minutes to the Mackinac Island ferry.
Two of our party were working remotely and the wifi worked well for them. It was an amazing experience and I would definitely stay here again!

We had a pleasant weekend at the house and service was very responsive to our questions. The big advantage to the home is a private room and bathroom which we loved. Two did not have showers but there was one in hall. Everyone loved that. It is an older property and could use some outside work. But the charming wrap around porch made it nice on a beautiful March weekend. The place was clean except for two things we brought up to the owners. They promised to follow up on our concerns. It is a nice property for a group of 10. We enjoyed our stay. Kids want to come back next year.

Enchanting stay in this beautiful, spacious yet cozy home. A separate bathroom for all five bedrooms which was amazing for this group of eight women traveling for a winter getaway. Everything we needed was available. We will be back!

We stayed at the property this past week. As the other reviews noted, the road noise is a bit loud when sleeping, but as we were aware prior to the trip, we were able to prepare. The house was very clean and offered great space. The online description of the house was spot on. We will definitely book this property again.

For ~25 years 4 couples got together for a long ski weekend in Northern MI. After many years apart we came together from as far away as Washington to enjoy a 4 day reunion. We had a wonderful time, the house fit our needs well, and it was very close to many of the places where we had built memories together.
4.6
We had a great time at the Oden House. However, the house did have some issues with cleanliness, and when you walk through the back door there is a terrible smell. The view is beautiful but there is a lot of traffic noise. The lighting in the house is very dim and the lights flicker constantly. It needs some major maintenance, but all this makes it quaint and charming. I would stay here again.
4.6
This property was a great space for our group of seven. We loved the backyard fire pit, the view from the front porch and enjoyed meals around the large dining room table. A charming, warm house.
4.6
We had a great stay. The house has lots of character and there was plenty of room for all of us! Great location close to Petoskey and right across from the lake.
4.6
Great house for bedrooms and private bathrooms!! Absolutely a rare find if this is important. We were disappointed in the over cleanliness of the exterior of the property. We did not know how busy Rt 31 is and hearing the traffic continually was more than we expected, but this is not the listing fault. The Kitchen lacked in many areas, not quite updated as the listing stated. Overall had a dirty unorganized feel to it. There was not even enough glasses for our 6 guest. We had to use coffee cups to drink wine or cocktails. The bathrooms did not all have body soap or shampoo, had to go out an buy some. This is really a mixed review, we loved many aspects of this house but disappointed in many too. This property has SOO much more potential with a little bit more eye to details.
4.6
Comfortable dining and living room area. The house needs interior and exterior work and landscaping. Porch could use different seating. The 2 rockers were nice. Having several 1/2 bathrooms was very convenient. View of Crooked Lake was nice.

Reviewer Comments:
Property is in a great location and spacious; good communication with Vacation Properties staff as had a water issue one morning-corrected right away. Bathrooms for all bedrooms were a plus, and mattresses were great. The only things I’d note was the lack of closet space and property exterior needs some sprucing up.

My three sisters and I booked this beautiful house for a long weekend. We were each able to have our own bedroom and bathroom which was great! The house was clean and welcoming with everything we needed for our stay. Beds were very comfortable, the wraparound porch was so nice, and the location was great for trips into Petosky and Mackinac City. The home is located right on US 31 and there is some traffic noise, but that didn't bother us at all. We would highly recommend this home for anyone with a larger group. Thank you!!

Great location to ski areas and a couple of nearby restaurants.
Super clean and everything was as advertised.
Only negative is road noise if you are a light sleeper.

Reviewer Comments:
We went for a weekend girls getaway. It was so nice to have a bedroom with an attached bath for each of the 5 of us. The large dining and adjacent living room was amazing to spread out. The home does need some updating an maintenance. The kitchen is pretty old and cupboard doors are missing or broken. There was also a sunroom with a lot of broken furniture and storage in it. The home just needed a little love. However even with those issues we would come back again. The layout was perfect for us- it felt like we caught them after a long hard summer and it just needs a little love to get it back to 10/10.

This house was perfect for our group. We all had a lot of space and the kitchen/dining/family room were spacious and very comfortable. The communication with the property manager was wonderful. Thanks for a wonderful stay, we hope to be back!

What a wonderful stay! If you are looking book now. This place looks just like the pictures and has so much space for everyone to spread out. There were 6 people staying for a week and felt like home right away. Location is perfect to downtown Petoskey. Communication with the property manager was wonderful. Made our trip an absolute pleasure. We are already trying to figure out summer plans at this location.
4.6
Our yearly new years get away was supported by the Oden house. 15 minute dive to Nubs and Highlands, plenty of space for two families, and enough couch space for everyone to relax after a long day. Great spot to support a skiing vacation or visiting downtown Petoskey.

Reviewer Comments:
This property was perfect for our girls’ weekend! It was about 30 minutes from Mackinac City and centrally located to the 4 Petoskey wineries we spent a second day at. The beds were extremely comfortable and the mid-century modern design added to the charm of the house. It was nice that each bedroom had at least a 1/2 bath (3 had a full bath). This made getting ready in the morning with 9 women a bit easier. Couple of things to consider - this is an older property. There were some windows that didn’t properly close (taped shut). The property is located on 131. This makes it conveniently located but also adds a lot of traffic noise. Finally, I reached out to the property manager about the fireplace not working and the shower door not closing. She initially called me back but never followed up with a solution. Overall, we were very pleased. Just some things to consider to make sure it’s a good fit for your group.

This Mid-Century Cottage is just that, Mid-Century, with modern amenities added. As a child my family of 9 spent two weeks every summer in Sister-Lakes MI. in cottages like this one, where my aunt lived. It was fabulous. This reminded me of that. This is a great place to relax and recharge after spending all day exploring North Michigan and all it has to offer! Would stay here again!

Perfect place for a girls weekend! My group of 5 had the luxury of their own bedroom and bathroom space to retreat to when needed. The dining room and living room had plenty of room to hang out. Lake view right across the street!
This property is right on US31, so there is traffic noise, but it would not stop us from renting this proerty again!

Overall we had a great time. The house is very charming. Old w great quirkiness. Great central location. We visited Petoskey, Charlevoix, Harbor Springs, Indian River and Mackinaw Island.
We had 2 minor problems (no water due to well pump circuit breaker trip) and smoke alarm battery. Both problems were handled very quickly and satisfactorily. Thank you Danielle.
Kitchen has everything needed, laundry availability is a plus. Bedroom on first floor is also a plus. Beds were comfortable. There is a nice fire pit surrounded by chairs and wood was provided. Unfortunately, or fortunately, we were so busy we didn’t get a chance to use it.
The downsides were the carpeting in the bedrooms. They were all quite stained. The front porch furniture was uncomfortable(except for the rocking chair).Replacing with all rocking chairs would be great. The couch in the living area is very very low to the ground. We used the chairs from the dining area to watch tv instead of the couch. The outside porches and windows could use a good cleaning.
Overall we liked the house a lot. Just a few updates/ cleaning would make it wonderful.

We loved this getaway spot for a week-long family vacation. We wanted a place that was in close proximity to great places up North and this place was it! A definite highlight was the view of the lake across the street and the amazing bike trail behind the house. We also loved the yard and spent a lot of time relaxing out there. Like other reviewers noted, it is on a busy road but the noise wasn’t bad and became white noise. The one thing that was a little unfortunate was the inconsistency with cleanliness. There were some things that you can tell were cleaned from the last visitors but we found random trash under beds and couches and parts of the home were not vacuumed as well as we were expecting. Otherwise, we loved it and would stay again!

My birthday weekend was a hit. This is a beautiful home with lots of space for all of our closest friends. We had a great time playing games listening to music and drinking bloody Mary’s on the porch. Wish we could have spent more time. Everyone commented on how comfy the beds and pillows were. Would definitely recommend!
