Great place

Karen’s guest suite was just perfect for our weekend stay! It was super clean and the kitchen was really well equipped. The sofa was comfy and the sleeper blow up in the sofa was awesome! Her place is in a nice, quiet location….quick walk into town.

Best apartment rental by far. Great location with short walk or bike ride to Little Traverse Wheelway. Easy walk to downtown Petoskey. Nice and quiet. We've never been disappointed here. Thanks for another great stay, Karen.

Best VRBO to Date

Of all the VRBOs we have stayed at (in several states), this one is the most like home as far as having all the things we need. It is very comfortable, and in great walking distance of the shops and restaurants downtown. The hostess is very pleasant and does a great job communicating. This is our second stay at this rental, and I daresay not the last.

Cozy apartment close to downtown Petoskey

We had the best time taking in the beauty of Petoskey and Harbor Springs. The apartment, located close enough to walk into town, never disappoints. Super clean and nicely decorated. All the amenities you would need. And, a beautiful view of the lake. Can't wait to come back again!!!

We loved our stay here. Has all the things we needed in all the rooms. The comfort and layout were great. Location was great -- took off from here on our bike trips, including hopping onto the nearby shoreline trail and the Bear River trail. The deck and view were great. Easy walk to parks, restaurants, etc. Our experience was very pleasant and enjoyable. We'd love to go back next time we're in Petoskey.

What a view and great place

The initial view of the lake thrilled us. It was the perfect location for an easy walk to the beach, or into town, or an easy bike ride to the great Little Travers Wheelway. The living area was clean, cozy and had everything we needed. Karen was a pleasure to work with and communicated promptly. We’ll be back.

Excellent place

We arrived in the afternoon, Karen’s instructions were very helpful to find the place and check in. The place was super clean and well equipped. The view was fantastic. Downtown was a 10 minute walk away. We mostly spent our time at the location to enjoy the view. We will visit again. Thank you so much Karen!

Beautiful Views

Karen’s Guest Suite is so relaxing and comfortable. She has fully stocked everything that you can think you may need, and then some. Her response time is almost immediate and she went over and above to accommodate our needs. The bed is very comfortable and we loved the water view! We stayed only 1 night and will definitely book with her again for a longer stay. We highly recommend staying with Karen.

Petosky visit

Karen shares her property providing a clean, comfortable and private apartment. A block away from a fantastic walkway along the lake. Petosky State Park is a short drive and has a beautiful walking beach. There is another nice trail along the river which is within walking distance from the apartment. Karen provided everything we needed for a perfect stay. We hope to return one day. So much to see in beautiful Michigan. Thank you, Karen

The perfect place to stay in Petoskey! Easy walk into Downtown for dining and shopping, and great for cycling and exploring other towns/areas. This house far exceeded our expectations! It was extremely well stocked, beautifully decorated, meticulously clean, private, quiet, and had a wonderful place outside to enjoy the weather and beauty of the “Little Traverse Bay”. Also, the host was wonderful! We would love to return someday and would recommend this house to anyone!
