We had 6 adults and needed 5 separate beds so it worked well for us. Also, they had lots of seating in the great room so everyone was comfortable when we gathered at the end of the day. Very quiet neighborhood and dark at night so we could stargaze from the back patio. Being close to town and the bike trail was also a plus.

Full week summer stay

This property was great for me and my family. Plenty of space for 5 adults and two children. The amenities were great. The beds were the most comfortable of any short term rental we have stayed. And the location was terrific - a short drive to both downtown Harbor Springs and Petoskey State Park. We would definitely stay here again.

Ski Vacation

Beautiful house and property, every room was so cozy and perfect for a larger group. The living room was our favorite as it had a lot of comfy places to sit and enjoy each others company. Extremely close to the highlands and nubs nob ski hills, very worth it if you are looking to ski there.

This house was a great place to stay. We had three couples and it worked out well. The kitchen is very well stocked and the patios were very nice too. We were the perfect distance between petoskey and Harbor Springs. The communication was very good also. We will be back.

We stayed here for a ski trip and it worked out great. The house was clean and spacious. The upstairs beds were so comfortable. The open dining/living room worked out great for hosting post-ski family dinners. I would recommend this for using the 3 upstairs rooms. The downstairs bedroom does not have a bathroom on that level and it is somewhat noisy. Overall, loved this location and would definitely stay again.
