Wonderful stay
A great few days in this lovely house, just 15 minutes away from skiing at Nubs Nob and Boyne Highlands. Beds were super comfortable. Our dog had a fantastic time, especially enjoyed walking in McCune Nature Reserve.

Perfect ski getaway
This cabin was perfect for our ski getaway. The cabin was super clean and perfect for our family of 4 (and our black lab). It was just a quick drive to both Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob!

I loved this little cabin. It was a nice relaxing area. The only suggestion would to have a grill and a fire pit.

Quaint cabin!
Quaint cabin not too far from downtown Alanson. Quick drive to Petosky (20 minutes) & Pellston with a 30 minute drive to Mackinaw City. Cabin is exactly as pictured with enough amenities in the kitchen to cook a full meal.

Perfect for couple and their old dog.
We had no problem with the cottage, check in and out very easy. The cottage is cute with everything you need for cooking or just relaxing. Dog friendly!! Location was perfect for us. Lots to do within 30-45 minutes from cottage.

It was adequate
Not really recommended for non-pet owners. Everything worked except we couldn't make the AC/Heat unit work. Furnishings were fine.

Inside was very nice ,but out side wasn't as neat. Property needed the lawn mowed and some other manicuring. The dog kennel was not a very pretty sight either.

Don't stay
The outside area was unkept. The neighborhood location was terrible. Though it was obvious the interior had been updated, the furniture was old and worn. This is definitely not worth the price paid

Nice place but...
Neighborhood is a bit run down. The tree in front of the house is in terrible need of attention, draws mosquitoes and provides 0 light. The beds definitely need replaced. Very uncomfortable. However, the actual home itself is nice and clean with updated appliances. Remodel is nicely done. Short distance to all of the sights in Petoskey, Indian Springs, and Mackinac.

Clean and Updated - time for new mattresses
Overall we had a nice stay. The property is is clean and updated. The pics are exactly what we got. Two points to consider: 1. It's time to update the mattresses. They are spongy soft. We all woke up sore because of lack of support while sleeping. 2. there is not much there as far as the neighborhood goes. Neighbors were fine and overall it was quiet but we did all of our day trips in Petoskey. That is a 15 minute drive just fyi. The large table was great for breakfast and games at night. One final note that my adult kids were laughing about, the lock was unusually hard to operate. It's a combination of key and digital buttons. It took a while to get the lock to work and then get the key out. My girls would wait in the car while I struggled with the key. It became the running joke for the weekend. I'm gonna chalk this up to operator error but there were no instructions and I'm generally a pretty handy guy. Hope this helps

Fantastic Vacation Space
We both work jobs that are fairly stressful, so whenever we can get away we prefer a space that lets us focus on our time together. We like to sample local culture, but the main event is always time together to be comfy and to enjoy each other. This cabin checks a lot of boxes...it's spotlessly clean, roomy, and easy to enjoy. High-quality materials and finishes, as well as comfy touches, are apparent throughout...every room and every fixture are well-detailed. Kitchen is fantastic, and the big table is a centerpiece for dining, quiet conversation, post-shopping sorting and enjoyment; and when duty calls, it's a great place to set up a quick mobile office. Of the two available bedrooms, we chose the larger one; mattress is firm and VERY comfortable. Harbor Springs and Petoskey were minutes away, and we enjoyed them both. We'll be back!

Great Up North Getaway
My husband and I stayed here with a couple of friends for a long weekend and we had a great time! The house is in great proximity to Charlevoix, Petoskey & Harbor Springs. Check in and check out was super easy, the house was very clean, and the spacious kitchen made it easy to cook meals in.

Loved our stay for family vacation!
We stayed here with our two children (ages 2 & 4) and two boxers. Our pups are well mannered, but this was the first year we'd brought them on family vacation with us, so we were a little nervous about them adjusting to a new environment. The cabin was so comfy and clean! It had everything we could have needed. We all felt right at home. Our kids found the coloring book stash and puzzle drawer as soon as we arrived, so they stayed busy while we unloaded and unpacked. They also loved all of the duck/hunting decor. I think it was the highlight of their trip. We will definitely book again if we return to the area. 10/10 recommend.

Cute Home
Cute home close to town and other areas. We have family in the mini-home park just across the road, so it was easy access to see them and go back and forth. The neighbor kids were friendly with my son and helped us navigate to the park and the bakery. Overall a great experience, would recommend again!

Great place!
This was a great stay! The cabin was Beautiful, clean and cozy! It had everything that made our stay feel right at home. Very close to town without having that “in town” feel. Other reviews mentioned it not being in the best neighborhood…I thought it was a cute neighborhood, no problem with neighbors or anything. Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent Hidden Gem!
We were pleasantly surprised to find this gem, conveniently located between Burt Lake & Petoskey in Alanson, MI. The house has plenty of space for vehicles, even room for vehicles plus a trailered boat! * The house is super clean and modern, perfect for a small group or family.Sleeping was comfortable for 5 or 6 people; but really not more than 6 people since there are only 2 beds in 2 bedrooms. The couch was super comfy and pulls out to sleep 2 plus a very large comfy chair to match!* The kitchen is modern with every convenience needed, I felt like I was at home!* No firepit or nor grill outside, but plenty of parks in the area. After a long day out-and-about, we didn't even have the energy for campfire. It was nice to be in an air-conditioned comfortable house! *** Most Definitely recommend this house & owner! The owners were very welcoming with notes around the place to answer any questions upon our arrival, along with a book of details for things in the area.
