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!

Cozy and Comfortable

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.

Great place

Karen’s guest suite was just perfect for our weekend stay! It was super clean and the kitchen was really well equipped. The sofa was comfy and the sleeper blow up in the sofa was awesome! Her place is in a nice, quiet location….quick walk into town.

Petosky visit

Karen shares her property providing a clean, comfortable and private apartment. A block away from a fantastic walkway along the lake. Petosky State Park is a short drive and has a beautiful walking beach. There is another nice trail along the river which is within walking distance from the apartment. Karen provided everything we needed for a perfect stay. We hope to return one day. So much to see in beautiful Michigan. Thank you, Karen

Best VRBO to Date

Of all the VRBOs we have stayed at (in several states), this one is the most like home as far as having all the things we need. It is very comfortable, and in great walking distance of the shops and restaurants downtown. The hostess is very pleasant and does a great job communicating. This is our second stay at this rental, and I daresay not the last.
