We stayed in Alanson during the Bay Harbor boat show and could not have selected a better place and hosts. We had a few schedule changes and were fortunate that Patrick was able to accommodate. Check in and out was a breeze and we appreciated their recommendations of places to see. The house was immaculate and very comfortable with all the necessities. If your travels take you to the Petoskey area, do not hesitate to book! The location was perfect for getting to all the sites quickly and easily while still enjoying the backyard and the lake!

We had a wonderful stay! The home is very clean and the location is very close to skiing at Boyne Highlands or Nubs. The bike path in the backyard is awesome! The owners put a lot of thought into this cute home. Everything you need is provided and the owner is super responsive. We would definitely stay again.

We come to the Petoskey area every New Years for skiing with our teens. We’ve stayed at many different rentals over the years and this is another great rental. The location is amazing for getting to BOYNE Highlands or Nubs. About a 12 minute easy drive. It’s also located across the highway from Crooked Lake and literally connected to a 30 mile bike trail. For summer bike riding this is something we will come back to. The place itself has been completely redone and has been recently purchased by a family member who’s relatives built it. They’ve done a great job modernizing and updating and it’s clean and fresh. Since it just opened and is a newer rental we have the owner a couple of suggestions around a small number of kitchen items, a bigger dining table, and living room seating. In every case they were appreciative and had already planned the updates. When these are done I’m sure the photos will be updated and then it will be even more amazing. Overall we loved our stay and are planning to return soon. Location and local amenities, along with super comfy beds will keep us coming back, and we look forward to seeing the new additions! Thanks!!!

The property was renovated in 2019 and is very nicely decorated. Patrick was a great host, easy to contact and work with. We especially enjoyed the proximity to the bike trail to Petosky (literally steps away).

Perfect location and wonderful property. Was perfect for our family of 4. Bikes and bike path were awesome!

Spotlessly clean and well furnished. Everything in this rental is top of the line and very comfortable. We’ll be back

Wonderful visit to northern Michigan. The cottage was clean and cozy and we were thrilled to be able to bring our dog.

This place was exactly as listed. Ideal location too - short distance to Petoskey, Mackinaw and Harbor Springs! Patrick was so great to work with too. Will book again in the future!

We had a lovely time staying at this property. The place was clean, cozy, and in great condition. The appliances are all updated, and there’s a nice grill outside. The master bed was comfortable—we slept really well. The living room was right off the porch, so there’s great light coming in during the day. At night, however, there’s either a really bright overhead light or these neon blue lights, neither of which are relaxing when you’re trying to wind down. The living room couch is more of a decorative couch. If you’re planning on having someone sleep on it, I’d suggest bringing a pad for the top. We didn’t spend too much time indoors and didn’t sleep on the couch, so it didn’t affect us. The location is pretty good; it’s tucked away just off a main road. The house is not right on the lake—you have to walk a bit to get to the lakefront access, and the public access section is pretty small. But the best part is that it’s right in front of a long bike path that you can take to various neighboring areas, including the Petosky Brewery. Although Oden itself is quiet without many restaurants in a quick radius, Petosky is a short drive away. We loved the location’s close proximity to all the wineries nearby. The only issue we had all trip was not having the code to unlock the bikes, but Patrick was quick to respond to remedy the issue. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and Patrick was a great host. We would look to book again! Five stars because the very little observations I noted weren’t a huge deal. :)

This property is beautifully decorated, very clean, and overall a great family getaway!

Cute and well decorated cottage! Lots of care has gone into the property. Owner was quick to respond. We loved the bikes and outdoor games!

Lovely property. Owner friendly and communicative. We had a great time.

Our vacation was absolutely wonderful! We loved using the bike path every day and the little beach. The house is just beautiful and totally comfortable. We’re sad to leave!

We stayed over the Fourth of July, had a fun time biking to the beach and parade using the bike trail directly behind the cottage.

Perfect for a family, we had a great time. Very clean, updated & the host is awesome!

Excellent house that was just the right size for my family of 5 and two dogs. The was was very clean and the owner was great to work with. Look forward to coming back in 2020.
