Amazing location to walk downtown for great shopping and delicious food. The golf courses showcased some amazing fall color already and the wineries were top notch. Our favorite winery was Maple Moon. We will definitely stay here again. This home had so much personality and space.

Excellent home and location
This home was perfect for our family of 5 for nearly a week. The home is newly redone (fresh paint, carpet, floors) and was beautifully done. There was plenty of space for us to relax and not be on top of each other. Beds were comfortable and the house was clean. Kitchen has everything we needed to cook a couple of meals. Location could not be better - you can walk into town and to the waterfront in just a couple of minutes. The owner was responsive and friendly. We would definitely stay again!

Dusty musty- disappointing
Received code for front door in the morning on day of reservation. Host gave ideas for unloading of luggage, however, difficult to park car on driveway and get out safely with dangerous 5 foot drop off out the driver side door. Picked up and appeared vacuumed, but terribly dusty baseboards and dusty old carpeting. Kitchen floor sticky. In general, it was not clean as some reviews had stated it was. No window covering in one bedroom window. No screen on one window so difficult to get fresh air. Questionable GFI outlet in bathroom. BEWARE for those who have dust allergies -I was sneezing and ill entire time while in the building. JACK and Jill bathroom on second floor. Steep steps for our 83 year old guest. Plenty of coffee and location was close to downtown eating and shops. Bed linens were soft and comfortable. We basically felt would could hack it for a few days, but we were extremely disappointed and spent as little time as possible in the building.

Property needs a lot work and repairs.
Petoskey is a great city and the location of this property is great for easy access to the city. But this property is in need of lots of repairs--missing light fixtures in both bedrooms, no cover on the kitchen light. Lots of light bulbs out or missing. Carpets were dirty-especially the stairs. Property was not landscaped or mowed--weeds and mulch running into the drive. Only one burner on the stove was working. I have stayed in many other VRBO properties around the US and this was by far one of the least cared for properties. I understand that items can get worn and a bit dated but all the missing lights and bulbs and overall disarray was not what I have experienced in the past nor what I expected. There was also a broken partially open light socket in the bathroom with no ground fault apparent. House was supposed large enough for 8 people. We had four bath towels, 3 hand towels and ONE face cloth (wash cloth). We were told there were extra linens in the closet--which was in total disarray. There were a few more bath towels but that was it. This house was by far the worse maintained house in a very lovely neighborhood. Lastly, the housekeeping was not what I have experienced with other VRBO properties--very disappointed to know what we were charged for cleaning and the house did not look clean--floors did not look moped, carpets did not look vacuumed, fixtures were stained--Very disappointing for such a great neighborhood and great little town.
