On the opposite side of the living area is a ten-person dining room table paired with floor to ceiling original glass doors, perfect for making memories and good conversations. The full kitchen is on the back of the home with new appliances and is connected to the laundry/mudroom area leading out to the expansive fenced-in backyard. This home has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms (3 full, 4 half) giving plenty of space to let your group spread out. Bedroom one is located on the main level with a full bath attached.

Each bedroom has a window A/C unit, as well as a ceiling fan. The North Western State Trail is one block away, which connects to the Little Traverse Wheelway, giving you miles and miles of asphalt trails for biking and running/walking.

Wonderful family getaway location
This house was wonderful for our family of 8 adults and a toddler! There were many spaces where we could spread out or all be together. The property managers were very attentive, both before and during our stay. They provided a few items that we asked about before we arrived, and the house was stocked with plenty of essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap, and laundry detergent. The location was close to lots of nature preserves, wineries, breweries, and if it had been warmer, water sports. Also, it was only 30 minutes to the Mackinac Island ferry. Two of our party were working remotely and the wifi worked well for them. It was an amazing experience and I would definitely stay here again!

Holiday Vacation
We stayed at the property this past week. As the other reviews noted, the road noise is a bit loud when sleeping, but as we were aware prior to the trip, we were able to prepare. The house was very clean and offered great space. The online description of the house was spot on. We will definitely book this property again.

Reunion
For ~25 years 4 couples got together for a long ski weekend in Northern MI. After many years apart we came together from as far away as Washington to enjoy a 4 day reunion. We had a wonderful time, the house fit our needs well, and it was very close to many of the places where we had built memories together.

Great space
This property was a great space for our group of seven. We loved the backyard fire pit, the view from the front porch and enjoyed meals around the large dining room table. A charming, warm house.

Relaxing and peaceful with plenty of space
We had a great stay. The house has lots of character and there was plenty of room for all of us! Great location close to Petoskey and right across from the lake.

family gathering
Great house for bedrooms and private bathrooms!! Absolutely a rare find if this is important. We were disappointed in the over cleanliness of the exterior of the property. We did not know how busy Rt 31 is and hearing the traffic continually was more than we expected, but this is not the listing fault. The Kitchen lacked in many areas, not quite updated as the listing stated. Overall had a dirty unorganized feel to it. There was not even enough glasses for our 6 guest. We had to use coffee cups to drink wine or cocktails. The bathrooms did not all have body soap or shampoo, had to go out an buy some. This is really a mixed review, we loved many aspects of this house but disappointed in many too. This property has SOO much more potential with a little bit more eye to details.

Sisterhood Trip
My three sisters and I booked this beautiful house for a long weekend. We were each able to have our own bedroom and bathroom which was great! The house was clean and welcoming with everything we needed for our stay. Beds were very comfortable, the wraparound porch was so nice, and the location was great for trips into Petosky and Mackinac City. The home is located right on US 31 and there is some traffic noise, but that didn't bother us at all. We would highly recommend this home for anyone with a larger group. Thank you!!

Great location to ski areas and a couple of nearby restaurants. Super clean and everything was as advertised. Only negative is road noise if you are a light sleeper.
