When something came up with our ‘original plans’ and where our family was going to stay- I reached out to Jennie. She helped me find a home that would suit our families needs on very short notice. The home was perfectly prepared with the comforts from home- yet the nice clean, crisp hotel feel…. Just better(because our family had our own space). Such a cute neighborhood and very quiet neighbors. Our family is very much looking forward to staying in one of their homes again. Our doggy Benny even approved!!! A

The coffee maker doesn’t work. The doors upstairs are very noisy. The couch is difficult to get off and on. We love the place regardless!

Thanks for ypur feedback Cheryl! We had no idea the coffee maker was having issue, but have a brand new Keurig duo there now, thanks to your note alerting us to the issue. 😊 So glad you loved the place regardless! 💕

Weekend Trip to Alpena

The property was very clean and the location was great with a short walk to downtown and the beach/parks. I traveled with my 11 month son so it was great to have a crib in one of the rooms!

About the host

Hosted by Jennie Handrich ~ Handrich Properties

Host profile image
Hi! We're Jennie and Josh, owners of Handrich Properties. We've been married for 20 years and have made our home here in Alpena. We love going on adventures with our 3 kids, like biking, camping, and travelling the US.

I (Jennie) owned my own custom cake business for 13 years, and love meeting new people! I now work at our awesome local gym, and love running . I'll be running my third marathon this summer.

Josh is a real estate agent and loves basketball and playing hobby board games. One of his current favorites is Terraforming Mars. He has a vast collection of games, and is always happy to loan them out if you're staying with us and looking for a new game to try.

Our properties have been beautifully renovated and are just minutes from the beach. You will have the entire home to yourself. We live very close by and are happy to help with anything you might need during your stay, providing we are not out of town at the time.
