Great location, wonderful house

Our second stay here was as good as the first. This house has been thoughtfully furnished with everything that you need for a comfortable stay, attractive and interesting art work, and has a lovely location near Lake Michigan. It is within easy walking distance to downtown Petoskey and an organic co-op grocery. A walking/biking path is about 1 block away that leads along the lake front.

Everything good

This house was a perfect location for us -- near the lake, near downtown, near good walking paths. The house has been thoughtfully furnished with everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the owner has added some special touches. We enjoyed looking at the artwork throughout the house. Would love to go back!

Great Stay!

An historic cottage with Great Lakes decor, this property is lovely. It was clean and well-stocked with necessities and some extras like goat milk bars of soap. We slept great on the comfy beds. The air conditioning worked great when needed. Wifi was reliable and fast. A great location for walking to dinner, shops, and the bayfront. Would recommend!

Great stay in Petoskey

We had a delightful stay in Petoskey at Nancy's two-story rental. One off-street parking spot, plenty of room on street for other cars. Spacious living areas for the 4 of us, with lots of seating and local brochures on things to do. Kitchen well supplied, nice island with lots of drawers, even enough large utensils like spatulas, serving spoons, and grill tools for the gas grill. Kitchen had a good coffeemaker. Thoughtful extras like very plush towels, also soaps and shampoos in the the 2 bathrooms. Nicely decorated. There is a nice-sized entryway inside the front door for leaving beach stuff, coolers, shoes, etc. Bedrooms were very good, closets with hangers, fans available if wanted. House A/C worked very well. Main bath was large with an old-style footed tub and a separate shower plus a secret room. Downstairs bath almost as large. We loved the location - 1 block walk to the bike trail, 2 blocks to the shore to see the sunset off the rock wall, 3 short blocks to a great downtown, and an easy drive to many places, from Charlevoix to Mackinac. We canoed the local Bear River one day, drove the 45 min to Mackinaw City for the ferry ride to Mackinac Island another day. Great beach nearby at Petoskey State park. Don't miss Harbor Springs, the Tunnel of Trees or Legs Inn. This was a memorable vacation for us, and probably spoiled our future stays at other places. Nancy even left us a small gift of some locally sold items.

Wonderful Hosts

The house is wonderful, clean and located in an excellent location for walking or biking as far as your heart desires. Walking distance to downtown shops & restaurants, to the pier & marina and bike trails as far as you have stamina to go. We met the hosts who are very nice even though we did not need to contact them for anything. This will be our go-to place to stay any time we go to Petosky.

A gem in the heart of Petoskey

Cozy, comfortable, and super clean house close to pretty much everything- dining, shopping, the lake, walking, and biking trails. We had everything we needed in the house. Nancy was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We truly enjoyed our stay there. We highly recommend this place.

Cozy House

The house is gorgeous and located within walking distance of shopping and restaurants. Nancy has thought of everything you would need to be comfortable! My daughter and I love staying there, and this was a return visit for us. I let Nancy know that we would be getting in late, and she left the light on for us! It felt very welcoming for two women who were getting in after dark. We hope to be able to return next year!

Charming house!

This was our second stay at this house... first time was on the back half of house that has 1 bedroom and this time in the front half with 2 bedrooms. We liked it so much last year, we came back this year with another couple. The house is very clean and well maintained with lots of charming character! The location is great, close to lots of things to do and downtown restaurants and shopping. Interaction with owner is always excellent, replies to booking and questions very quickly.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Johnson - Owner

Welcome to Petoskey! We moved to this beautiful area over 30 years ago and were fortunate to be able to raise our five children in this charming lakeside community.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home because of its awesome location and historic charm.

What makes this property unique

As avid cyclists we have biked in other states and countries, but Petoskey and the surrounding areas rank second to none when it comes to biking and outdoor adventure sports. Bike rentals are only a few blocks away. When family and friends come to visit they love to swim off the Petoskey pier, walk to the Gaslight District to shop and enjoy a Kilwin's ice cream while watching a softball game at the waterfront park with million dollar sunsets in the background. We chose to offer this home as a vacation rental so that you have the opportunity to get a taste of our beautiful area and take home great memories of a fantastic vacation.
