Host was fabulous with communication and any needs ahead of time or during the stay. Property was very functional and very convenient location to The Highlands. I would recommend for families. Lots of room for kids to play and more power outlets than I have ever seen. Kitchen was nicely equipped.

We had an excellent vacation at the Brown Bear Bungalow. The host was quick to respond and made everything easy from start to finish. The location was perfect, close to Harbor Springs and Petoskey. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. All the linens and towels were provided and even a welcome basket with coffee when we arrived. The kids especially enjoyed the movie room and game room. We would definitely stay here again.

Our stay in this beautiful home filled our hearts with so much joy. It was the perfect place for our entire family to gather, from our one-year-old to our young-at-heart grandparents...with a comfortable bed for each of the 13 of us. The home is beautifully appointed, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, making it easy to relax and simply enjoy being together.The location couldn't have been better. We loved being just minutes from the beaches and all the charm and joy of Harbor Springs and Petoskey, especially our favorite days at Petoskey State Park. Evenings around the bonfire became some of our happiest family memories, filled with laughter, conversation, and full hearts.This home gave our family the gift of time together, and that's something we'll always treasure. We are already looking forward to returning for skiing this winter and another summer getaway next year. We couldn't recommend it more highly!

Excellent location, right next to nubs, 10 minutes to state park, and 15 minutes from downtown Petosky. House was spacious and clean. The game room was a super fun bonus for night time family games! Host had quick communication and easy check in check out. The property manager was also in touch with us the day of arrival to make sure we knew we had a point of contact close by. Kitchen is stocked with anything you need for cooking. Would definitely stay again for both summer and winter get a ways up north!

It is a beautiful large vacation home for the 3 families and 13 we traveled with. We were contacted on the day of arrival by both the owner and property manager who were nice and responsive to our inquiries. Location is good for a trip to Mackinaw Island or Traverse City. This is a real pack for a weekend and everything you need is at the condo or close by. It's really nice setup for multiple family with kids includes many bathrooms and extensive game rooms.
