Annual Petoskey Weekend

This was our fifth stay with Nancy. As always it was a great stay. The apartment is in the perfect location to enjoy the bay, park, bike trail and an easy walk to downtown for shopping & dinning. The apartment is well appointed with comfortable furnishings washer/dryer, as well as plenty of kitchen utensils to make meals if wanted. We look forward to our next stay.

Paradise!

My husband and I had a fantastic weekend at Nancy's place. The apartment was spotless and comfortable and the location was perfect! We loved being able to walk to town and the pier. We would definitely stay again if we come to the area.

Quaint Property

This one bedroom apartment was perfect for my husband and myself. The location was ideal. The apartment was spotless. The stairwell is a bit narrow and steep, however we were able to maneuver it just fine. We would stay here again.

Long weekend

My Wife and I came into town for a wedding and decided to make it a long weekend. We are so glad that we decided to stay here instead of a hotel. The location is fantastic, everything we wanted to do was in walking distance. The pier is 2 blocks away in one direction and the Gaslight District with shopping and dining is 2 blocks in another direction. The space is perfect for 2 people with everything you need. I will also add that this is probably the cleanest place that we have ever stayed and I really didn't think that was possible. We are already talking about coming back next year.

Petoskey great stay for 2

The property was well located a few blocks (or less) away from the marina/beach area, the bike trail and downtown. It was clean, charming and honestly bigger than expected. Perfect for 2 adults that don't mind a flight of stairs. My wife and I truly enjoyed it. Nancy was super-responsive. If you are planning on cooking, you will need to bring any spices other than salt and pepper.

Stairs and layout

We loved everything about this property but the layout with the main bath down stairs. We made so many trips up and down that spiral staircase. We were attending formal events for two days and found it very difficult to get organized. The layout made efficiency very difficult. Our ages were also a factor.

Perfect Location

My husband and I were charmed by this property as soon as we turned the corner. It's very welcoming, with an actual "welcome" sign posted by the front entrance. The unit had everything we could need, was spotlessly clean, and there were several thoughtful touches throughout. The yard is very private--so much so that we were able to have our morning coffee in our pajamas on the porch. You feel like you're in the country, but you're not. The marina and the downtown Petoskey area are a very short walk away. We walked to town for breakfast, dinner and shopping. Just one note of caution: I would not recommend the property to anyone with mobility issues. The stairs going to the upstairs bedroom curve around in a sort of tight half circle. It was fine for us--and we liked the feeling that we were in a treehouse--but someone who is elderly or disabled might have trouble navigating them.

Great location

My daughter and I stayed for two nights and truly enjoyed our stay in the back unit of this beautiful home a block from Lake Michigan and close to downtown Petoskey. Lots of nice extras were provided such as coffee pods and bottled water in the kitchen on the first level, and a cute little gift of a key ring with Petoskey stone charm! The stairs up to the main living area and bedroom are somewhat steep and may be difficult for some people to climb up and down but worked well for us. We were happy to see a second bathroom upstairs. The place was immaculately clean and backyard super private with a nice little sitting area. We’d love to stay again when in the area!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Johnson - Owner

My husband and I are active seniors. We moved to Petoskey in 1980 to raise our children in this beautiful location. No regrets! The area is phenomenal. We love to cycle, hike, and swim. He is a "Spartan" and I am a "Wolverine".

Why they chose this property

The location sold us on this place. We also appreciated the charming character of the house built in the early 1900's. A few years ago we totally renovated the house after renting it for many years. The house consists of two units, each with it's own private entrance. This unit{4808912} sleeps two and the front unit {3776597}sleeps four..

What makes this property unique

If you like to be close to recreational activities, this location has it all. The bike path goes all the way to Charlevoix to the west, and to Mackinaw City to the east. It is located one block from the house. Bike rentals are only 3 blocks away. The Bear River Recreation area is one block to the east and is a beautiful walk. You can kayak as well. The Petoskey Pier is a local gathering place. The sunsets are amazing! It is also a great place to jump in and cool off. Usually there is an art fair, festival, or other fun activities at the waterfront during the summer months. There are sporting events, walks, and runs, and even a triathalon in August. This is a happening location. You will see cyclists, runners, and walkers on a regular basis. The Gaslight District is two blocks to the east. Grab a coffee or delicious Kilwin's ice cream.
