The hostess was very welcoming and attentive. There was an issue with the furnace, but it was resolved quickly, and the hostess stayed in contact with us until the problem was resolved. The accommodations were well-appointed, cozy, and clean, with excellent attention to detail and a quiet, beautiful setting. We liked how close it was to the places we wanted to go (centrally located). We appreciated that a selection of coffee was supplied for the Keurig. Highly recommend.

Perfect place to stay for 2! A short walk to Bay Harbor or a short drive to Petoskey, Charlevoix, Harbor Springs, etc. The condo was clean and perfect for our needs with a kitchen, full bathroom, bedroom, etc. Would definitely recommend and will likely be back! Thanks!!

My husband and I are bicyclist, so the location near the bike trail was perfect for us. The unit is well stocked for cooking, as well as great attention to detail for a restful evening in. This location was ideal for us to travel to Charlevoix to play pickleball, bike 15 miles to Harbor Springs for Tom's Mom's cookies and 15 miles back, hike in Petosky State Park (great trails), kayak on Lake Charlevoix from Boyne City and dine at great local restaurants. Our host, Dulcie, was extremely responsive to questions. We had no issues at all during our five night stay. We would definitely rent this property in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Dulcie Alward

Host profile image
I was born and raised in the area, I appreciate a cute and tidy place to vacation. That is why we are here. We can give you that chance to relax and have more to choose from then just a hotel room. I enjoy adding the special touches to the unit to make it feel like home.

Why they chose this property

We are located near the bike path and when traveling in your car we are within minutes to Petoskey, skip and hop to Bay Harbor :) If you take a right and head south 15min to Charlevoix and not much longer to Walloon and Boyne City. Any direction will offer options and memories to be made.

What makes this property unique

We may be off the beaten trail as they might say, but we are only minutes away from charming towns that are surround our area. In the summer a bike path is located outside of the parking lot.
