About the host

Hosted by William Zoerhof

Host profile image

This area is my home and have loved every second of it. While I moved away for a period of time, it was hard to stay away. I now live here with my girlfriend and fully don't consider this a 'rental property' and hope neither will you but rather our wish is that you consider it your home away from home throughout your stay.

Why they chose this property

This property is so unique because it offers so much variety to outdoor activities. While the house is quaint, it is very secluded, away from the road with trees lining either side of the house. There is a firepit and a huge yard for your family to enjoy and make memories.

Additionally, it is 30 feet away from the river so you can jump on at any time. If you are a boater, you can drop your boat from the boat-launch (.5 miles away) and navigate several lakes (crooked, burt, mullet, etc.).

It is located in downtown Alanson so you can walk to dinner, but also a short 15 minute drive from Petoskey or Harbor Springs, a great jumping off point for any adventure.
