We loved Karen’s place!! My husband and I stayed for a weekend to enjoy the fall colors and Karen’s apartment was exactly what we needed. A great water view, a comfortable bed, a well stocked kitchen, comfortable furnishings and nicely decorated. Very close to town and in a nice, walkable neighborhood. Everything was exactly as described and pictured. We loved the extra touches like the provided Starbucks coffee and chocolate! We would definitely recommend this place and we will definitely stay there again.

Karen is an amazing host!I made an error in the dates I booked for her place, and that error caused a big last minute scramble for her. She went above and beyond to help us find another place for the night. Really amazing host. I was overwhelmed with her kindness!

The property was updated and spotless, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay. The back balcony provided terrific views, and being just a block from the beach made it easy to catch the perfect sunset. Our one-night stay was too short, and we're already looking forward to a longer trip back.

The place was wonderful. Updated, clean and had everything you'd need. The view from the deck was spectacular. It's a 30 second walk to the lake and an easy walk up into downtown. Karen, the host was so friendly and accommodating. We'd definitely go back!!

The perfect place to stay in Petoskey! Easy walk into Downtown for dining and shopping, and great for cycling and exploring other towns/areas. This house far exceeded our expectations! It was extremely well stocked, beautifully decorated, meticulously clean, private, quiet, and had a wonderful place outside to enjoy the weather and beauty of the “Little Traverse Bay”. Also, the host was wonderful! We would love to return someday and would recommend this house to anyone!

We enjoyed our stay while it was short it was very nice. We had everything we needed within the room including a washer and dryer but we didn't need it this time. Bed and furniture were all clean and comfortable. We would recommend this property.
