Very functional place, there’s plenty of sleeping space and the kitchen has what you will need. Well stocked with paper products (we don’t always have luck with that 🙀) Close enough to town and the pier if you don’t mind walking a bit, just don’t forget it’s uphill coming back!! The outside was a bit rough, but the inside was clean and the beds were comfortable.

The house worked well for us for a family wedding. Centrally located. Nice and warm!

Al was super accommodating and genuinely caring in asking how our stay was. Top things for us was Close to Downtown, Cozy space and 1/2 the cost of Hotel Rooms. Petoskey Stones for group was a nice touch. Will return with group.

The house is just a short walk from downtown petoskey. Al was extremely welcoming and the house had everything we needed. Would deff stay here again!

Al the owner is a good man with a great place for friends, family or both to stay. If I should ever be in the area again I would gladly stay

The outside of the property is very cluttered and shabby. The inside is very clean, cute, and well-supplied, though a bit "shabby-chic" - things duct-tape and wired together, kitchen utensils heaped up in a drawer. Most of the windows didn't have screens so we had to keep the A/C on which, for a summer vacation in northwest Michigan, was not pleasant for us. The deck was adequate - chairs, grill, etc, but weeds were grown up around it. The side-entrance didn't have a path to it, and the backyard had poison ivy. We left after two nights and asked for a partial refund but were only given 200.00 of the 3500 we had paid. Otherwise, Al was very kind and accomodating,

Walking distance to town. It was really nice that we could bring our dogs

Good location close to downtown restaurants and shopping

First impression was the yard and deck. Both were poorly kept. Items in the house were held in place with wire and duct tape. Some kitchen items were not clean. Petosky stones from owner for guests was a nice touch.

Perfect, relaxed place for a home base for a skiing weekend.

Perfect size for 3 couples! Al was kind enough to give us Petoskey stones he polished as parting gifts.

We had a fabulous four day vacation at Al's clean, spacious, and well equipped rental. Great location close to downtown Petoskey, we enjoyed walking to town everyday including the local Farmers Market! Lots of room in the house with all the amenities you need; full washer/dryer, dish washer, and outdoor grill/fire pit. Al was a lovely host, he sent us home with beautiful Petiskey stones and also played his guitar for us.

This is a pretty quirky guest house. There are a few odd features - you have to walk through a bedroom to get to the main bath - but overall it's very good. The kitchen is small but usable, and reasonably stocked with dishes & utensils. All the appliances were in working order. The owner is very pleasant and lives on site. He was very welcoming to us and our dog!

-Advertised as new construction. Not new construction. -Owner and son stay in the house. -Door locks seemed backwards or insufficient. The Owner can lock out the renter, but the renter cannot lock out the owner. This is creepy with kids. -Roof leaked in multiple places on 2nd night. We decided it was better to leave than continue the rental. Requested refund for the night and the owner refused. Asked VRBO to assist, they didn't help. Left after 2 nights of a 3 night trip. House unsuitable for Rental Program, keep scrolling.

The location and owner were great, but the home only has one shower, which you have to access through someone's bedroom, and there were not enough pans to cook with in the kitchen.

We visit Petoskey yearly and found this spacious gem which is within walking distance to downtown. Al was great and helpful. Highly recommend this place

Big clean space. Slept a lot more people than we thought, we only had 3, it slept at least double that! Close to downtown. We brought our dog, and he made friends with the neighbor dogs and loved the room to roam inside. Al, was a great host. Thanks for the Petosky stones!

We enjoyed our stay (3 adults) at this home. It has a clutter cluttered

We loved this spot on the top of the hill, it’s just a short walk into town from his place! Al was very kind and left Petoskey stones for all of us, we enjoyed the town and proximity to several local beaches.

Close to town worked perfect

Al was an excellent host. Walking distance to downtown Petoskey in a neighborhood near North Central Michigan College.

Clean. Convenient.

You couldn't ask for a better location. Close to town and all amenities. Brightly lit, open kitchen to living area concept and there was a cabin-like vibe. You can either enter in from one side of the house into the kitchen or via the deck through the laundry room and one of the four bedrooms. Nice driveway and deck with a great yard for our little dog. There is a huge main bathroom with shower attached to the master bedroom and another common area bathroom off the kitchen. Large fireplace in living area. The apps on the smart tv didn't work so well, (wouldnt load up) so I would recommend a Roku, chromecast or firestick but TV is also not a first priority when there are so many other things to do in the area. Local brochures and info could be added but for a newly rented home, the owner did a great job communicating and providing our basic needs. There are beautifully polished Petoskey stones hand crafted by the owner and given to us as a gift which was a really nice treat. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Our stay in the Petoskey area was great fun. This property was a nice location for easy access to town. There were 4 bedrooms so each of us had our own space to spread out. Al, the owner, was readily accessible as this property is part of the back of his house. Nicest guy! If going to stay in Petoskey, take your bikes. The “Wheelway” is a paved path connecting several cities along the lake/bay area.

We had a great time staying at Al’s place! It’s less than a mile from downtown and close enough to 131 to get anywhere you need in minutes. Plenty of sleeping room for 2 families or one large one. The fire pit on the deck made for peaceful nights and Al would come out and play guitar for us, it was amazing!!! He was great with our boys and showed them his passion for petoskey stones. This is a true up north charm that Al has built with his own hands and we will stay here anytime we get back to Petoskey!
