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 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.
