Cozy & Comfortable

I was visiting the area on short notice for a funeral. Hotel rooms were in short supply. I found this nice home in a very convenient location. The home is in good condition, its kept very clean and everything was in good working order. The owner was very good with check-in / check-out information. Looks like it would be a great choice for a small family visiting the area.

Perfect End of Summer Stay

My family and I stayed at this location when we made our annual Summer vacation to Alpena. This rental was the perfect size for the four of us and was so cute! I loved all of the details from when the house was originally built (door knobs, wooden floors, archways). It was also very nice to have the updated amenities (bathroom, AC, ceiling fans, TV, internet, etc). We spent most of our time visiting family, but the home was perfect to come to at the end of the day or for a midday break. Our daughters loved having their own room with the trundle bed. They also loved the coloring books and puzzles that were available. The home is located close to the beach and downtown Alpena. We were there for Labor Day weekend and the neighborhood was very quiet and the traffic was almost non-existent. This is our second time renting with Handrich Properties and we plan to rent with them again! We had a change in our vacation and Jennie was able to accommodate us. We didn't need any assistance during our stay, but I am confident that the response would have been timely. Thank you again for hosting us!

Great Stay!

We really enjoyed our stay in Alpena. The house is located just a few blocks from the water, and a short walk to parks and downtown. Alpena has a very nice splash pad for the kids and a nice beach at Starlite Beach. The farmer’s market had some great produce and baked goods, too! Everything in the home was spotless! The kids toys, coloring books, crayons, beach toys, snack basket, etc provided by Jennie were a huge hit with my 1 year old.. we greatly appreciate the thoughtfulness! The upstairs room was the perfect set up for a ‘nursery’, which included a comfortable glider chair. The hosts also provide a pack n play! The air conditioner unit in the living room and box fans throughout the home were perfect for the hot days. I’d recommend this home to anyone visiting the area!
