I cannot say enough good things about this property, which was perfect for our long weekend gathering of friends and family. The home and detached guesthouse have been recently renovated and everything is fresh and new.
The beautiful guest house is an optional add-on. It is such a treat to have this option in a rental. There is a king bed with gorgeous bedding, a very attractive, high-ceilinged common area with wet bar and bar refrigerator, a lovely bathroom, and an attached porch.
The upstairs showers in the main house, merit particular note. They are decadently spacious and high-end & the towels are plush. The upstairs bathrooms themselves are roomy as well. The views of Little Traverse Bay from the upstairs rooms are magnificent! The Prime bedroom has a private wrap-around balcony with both chaises and upholstered furniture, and is a lovely oasis on which to enjoy the morning sunrise, daytime sunbathing/reading or an evening cocktail.
The location is ideal. We are familiar with this area of Petoskey and selected this property based on its location as much as the property itself. It is walking distance to the water, the Wheelway, the historic gaslight district, Latitude 45 for bike rentals, etc,. yet it is an incredibly quiet neighborhood. The hospital is nearby, but we only heard a siren once. We did not avail ourselves of the fire pit or the badminton net which are both on different areas of the property, but we hope to return in the future and enjoy that aspect of the grounds.
Lastly, the owner is quite accommodating and communication with her was very positive. I was in Petoskey this summer for a few weeks, and she indulged my request to see the property in person on turnover day between rentals, which I greatly appreciated. I knew when I saw the place that is would be perfect for my big weekend in September. Two thumbs up on this awesome property!!!
