About this property

This fabulous property boasts all of the luxurious amenities you desire including spacious living areas, shared lake access to Crooked Lake, a boat launch five minutes down the road, and quick trips to all of your favorite resort towns: Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Boyne City, Mackinac City/Island, and more. Plenty of space to grill out, play yard games, and enjoy your friends and family!

You will be welcomed through the front door with new hardwood flooring and a neutral palette. A nice size kitchen with granite counter tops – perfect for cooking instead of always going out to eat. Enjoy your meals at the dining table that seats eight or continue the summer and fall nights at the outside dining. The main level of the home also offers a half bath and the spacious primary suite – complete with heated bathroom floors and a large walk-in shower. Heading up the stairs, you will find a nice landing area to sit and read or for kids to play games. There are two large bedrooms and one full bath on this level as well. If the landing area is not enough for kids to relax, they can also enjoy the second “living” arrangement in the bedroom to watch TV. This home offers the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience!

Room for all

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed as a group of seven women touring fall sights/ events in the Petoskey area. There is a grocery store less than two miles away. We divided into teams and split breakfast duties in a well stocked with tools and small appliances. Although it is VERY quiet, it is not isolated, there are other houses around. The location is about nine miles north of Petoskey, so a great home base for daily excursions. It was very clean. I might recommend bringing an extra blanket. Heated bathroom floor was nice.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great base site to explore the area. Easy distance to Mackinac Island. Very quiet with garage space to park. Would suggest a mirror on the wall of second story.

Harbor/Alanson home

This home is absolutely beautifully decorated. The designers didn't think with the the master shower. Its extremely slippery and i took a fall. Our chore list led us way out of the way to take out the trash as they had to leave a map to get to the can. Tried to put the tv on for the kids while we got ready for our day trip out and it didn't work properly. No biggie we moved on and one of us entertained them. They're sticklers for cleanliness yet there is diapers in the landscaping and something unidentifiable as well. Beautiful home as i said but definitely not as welcoming as some we have stayed at. We chose to just be there to sleep sadly would likely not rent in the future or for extended stay. ESPECIALLY since we got zero response when we messaged them directly while there. To be clear we searched for rentals in Harbor springs this on popped up. Check in process was actually the worst, as far as the MANY emails and texts plus the difficult online paperwork. I hope they work on this a little so families can relax when visiting.
