Very disappointed with condition of the property. We couldn't even enjoy a nice time outside as nothing had been cared for that we would use. Like chairs (fabric faded and extremely dirty, including leaves, dirt/sand and spider webs that were left for us to deal with before using. It was obvious a major storm had gone thru weeks/months prior to our stay. See photos.Listed as a "cottage". Should have said "Bob's cabin".We are far from being picky people and really didn't want to give a poor review. This is just honest.
Is this even legal to rent?!

The cabin worked. It was enough to enjoy our stay in Petosky and Harbor Springs. The complaint I have is that the cabin wasn’t very clean. A broken screen on the back door being held together by duct tape. A bit of trash around the cabin and the weeds around the cabin we’re becoming over grown. Easy check in and check out. Owners left us nice instructions for the cabin.

John and Dianne are wonderful hosts. We ve returned for 4 years running. The cabin is simple and clean. Pet friendly which is why we return. Little things like -the mints and the Coffee / simple kitchen provisions well stocked. The little outer room lets us keep the bikes out of the weather. Close enough for a day over the bridge --and a simple drive to H. Springs or over to Petoskey. We LOVE the Petoskey Brewery and the North West Bike trail. Chances are very good we'll be back.
Mid Afternoon View from  Bridge View Park --UP.  40 minutes from the Cabin.

The cabin met our needs-a place to crash while we explored the area. Love the owners. They are friendly and remembered that we had rented another property of theirs 2/3 years ago. I thought that was pretty cool.

Absolutely Wonderful!

Even before we got there, the communication with the owners was amazing! Wonderful cabin in the woods. Maybe 10 minutes max from downtown Harbor Springs, 2 seconds to Boyne Highlands and via the back way super close to Alanson and of course Petoskey. For bicycle riding/or driving the Tunnel of Trees this couldn't have been a better place. We really appreciated being able to bring our babies (2 small dogs) with us. They LOVED it there too! Was very well equipped which was helpful as we prefer to make our own meals instead of going out all the time. Super cozy. If you're looking for peace and quiet in the woods, this is the place!!! Thanks again to John and Dianna!

Nice enough place

Nice quiet location. Kind of dirty (found dried up pizza on one of the kitchen drawer's exterior), especially in the bathroom and it smelled of animals in the entire place. If you're good with that, it will do the trick. Otherwise, I would not recommend it.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was immaculate, comfortable and very well equipped. Close drive to downtown but you feel you’re in the woods and away from it all. Would definitely stay again! Hosts communicated well and check in was easy.

Perfect Up North Cottage

We stayed at this cottage for a ski weekend with our two teens and two of their friends. It was absolutely perfect! The cottage is very comfortable and cozy and was a great place to relax after a long day of skiing. The loft area was great for the teens to sleep and watch a movie. We appreciated how well-stocked it was. Its location is perfect too, literally two minutes from the Nub’s parking lot. We hope to stay here again next winter!

Snowy Escape

This cabin was awesome! Great location. The owners give clear directions to find the place and on how things work in the house. The wood fire stove really made it cozy. It felt like a home away from home, being able to cook a dinner in that kitchen was a simple joy. And my Fiancée felt like a kid again when we could sleep up in the loft. We would absolutely book again!
