We loved our stay in Donald's cabin. We were there for a relaxing family skiing vacation for the 6 of us: my husband and I, three kids age 23, 21 and 16 and my mother. The place is spacious, cozy and charming, you can tell a lot of love went into decorating and equipping it. Beds were very comfortable, with plenty of spare bed linens and blankets. The best feature to me was the location itself: once you got to the cabin, you felt like you were alone with the nature: it was so private, tranquil and relaxing. We enjoyed watching the wildlife on the water out of the big great windows that maximize the beauty of the surroundings. Donald was easily reachable and quick to respond.

Great secluded cabin by the river. Just a short drive from Boyne Highlands. Perfect for a weekend of skiing.

I came up with a group of friends to ski for the weekend and Don was very accomodating. He was very easy to get a hold of it anything was need. The cabin was clean and comfortable and a great value.

We went snowshoeing in the nature preserve that is basically at the end of the driveway.

The view of the river from the sitting room is amazing ! We're definitely coming again and loved the ski slopes

This was our first time visiting the Alanson, Michigan area and we found the El Rancho RV Park to be an excellent choice for our stay in many regards. It is located between Petosky (closer to Petosky) and Mackinaw City and pretty much a straight shot to both with other small towns in between to see and explore if you so choose. The town of Alanson itself is very nice and quaint and we were able to attend their local annual Riverfest and also take a cruise on the Crooked River which we enjoyed. The El Rancho RV Park is very beautiful and well kept and sits up on a hill with an excellent view of the surrounding area. The Park Model RV itself was clean and comfortable and allowed us the privacy we were seeking at the fraction of the cost of a hotel room in the area. Everything such as linens, towels, etc. was provided and we felt right at home. We did not make use of it but there is also a very nice pool that sits up on the hill by the clubhouse. The owner, Don, was very friendly and accommodating from our very first communication and was very helpful by providing a detailed email of many things to do and see in the area. He even offered us the use of their bikes that were stored in the shed which we did take for a spin around the park one nice evening. He also made sure that we knew he was available to us at any time during our stay if we should have any questions or concerns. He was very genuine and kind and we felt that he truly wanted us to enjoy our time spent in Alanson and the surrounding area. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience in all respects and would return in the future. =^..^=

Len is a very friendly and helpful host. The room is simple, clean and correct. Any time I would come again. A quiet place to relax, pure nature.

Cathie has provided everything you could need and more! Her thoughtfulness is evident throughout her home. My family couldn't have been more comfortable. From the comfortable beds (temper pedic in the master) to the kitchen filled with every appliance and utensil we needed, this truly was a home away from home. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, filled with beautiful houses and friendly neighbors. I can't say enough good about Cathie's home, or even come close to properly expressing my gratitude for how much love and care she has put into it. Cathie truly has a gift for hostessing!

The accommodations were excellent and found exactly as described in the website. The home was very clean, warm and ready to be stayed in. The neighborhood and surrounding area were beautiful as well.

We really enjoyed our stay across from Burt Lake! Our group of three families was very comfortable during our stay. The house was beautiful and the amenities were terrific. We made a number of easy day trips from the lake, including Mackinac Island, the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Burt Lake State Park, and a couple of trips over to Petoskey. Communication with Cathie was fantastic from first contact. She answered all of our questions and provided plenty of recommendations for places to eat and things to do which we found very helpful. If the opportunity presented itself for us to stay again, we would certainly look her up!

When we arrived there was a couple of beautiful welcome packages. Such a lovely surprise! The home looks just as it is pictured. Quiet neighborhood close to lots of wonderful attractions. We enjoyed our getaway at this home.

The host touched base with me a few weeks before and then about a week before. She provided very helpful information about sites and restaurants, etc. She provided a welcome basket too with goodies to eat, drink and read. It made us feel very welcome.

Lovely home in excellent condition and very clean. We certainly appreciated the welcome package and the amenities (sports balls, fire pit, nice grill, inflatable boats, etc.) that were there for our usage. The location of the house is very good but it is important to note that while across the street from Burt Lake there is no lake access for swimming without driving. There is a boat launch just down the street. Overall we had a wonderful time at this property and would return.

We absolutely loved staying in the home! Everything was as stated or better then expected. We would recommend to anyone to stay at their home. Loved the fire stand, the gas fire for those who wanted more ambiance, great sleeping arrangements and overall very informative with the surrounding area. Especially loved there was a 10x mirror available for those who can't see so well ;)

Great house, great location, very friendly hosts - wonderful experience!

Cute little place that was everything I was looking for! Very friendly owners with a very nice lakefront property. The guest house was the perfect size for my friend and I and had everything we could've possibly needed. We forgot towels, but luckily the place had plenty for us to use! I would definitely recommend staying at Julies guest house!

Wonderful cottage with a beautiful view! It was a perfect getaway. Very close to Petoskey and harbor spring and we were able to make a day trip to Mackinac Island.

Such a cute and cozy cottage with a great view of the lake!

I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Julie and Andy were so incredibly nice; they gave us a list of recommendations, helped us once when we were lost, and even gave us a ride on their boat to see the sunset. Not only this, but their place is absolutely AMAZING. They aren't kidding when they say they are steps away from the water; they are. The sunrise, sunset, and stars alone are enough to make us come back, but that- coupled with Julie and Andy- was enough to assure our return. I can't thank Julie and Andy enough- we had an incredible time!

Perfect little cottage with a beautiful view. The description of the cottage was spot on. The beds were very comfortable, too. We would love to come back again next year!

Wonderful setting, clean, and great stay.

Julie made me feel very welcome and provided me with explicit details about where to dock the boat, directions, etc. The location is right at the water's edge - very peaceful.

Very nice cabin. Was perfect for our needs. Great views of the lake and close to a lot of the area attractions.

Somewhere in Time was an end-of-summer dream come true! My friends and I loved everything about this cabin, from the rustic feel to some modern updates. There was plenty of room for 6 adults, and Pickerel Lake is shockingly clear and sandy for an inland lake! There were never more than 5-6 boats on the lake even on a busy Labor Day weekend, and the property is at the end of the dirt road, so there are no properties to the left of the cabin for lots of privacy. Secluded, yet close to Petoskey and only an hour from Mackinac Bridge! Vickie was easy to communicate with from start to finish. We can't wait to retun.

We were well pleased with our stay at Renee's. The room and the adjoining bath were spacious and comfortable. We would definitely select Renee's house again.

Our stay was a short weekend and we did not take advantages of all the amenities of Renee's home. She had also just started a new job and was not able to be there most of the time as well. Renee and her son however were very welcoming and friendly. She recommended a restaurant for us which we went to and loved it! Ask her son where to golf ;) Our room was quite large and the bathroom suite was extremely spacious as well. WiFi and cable included. I would definitely book this again in the future.

Renee was a wonderful, friendly, attentive host. It was easy to arrange a time to meet at her home. The place is as advertised, and starts with a beautiful forested driveway that hides the house from the main road. The deck has views of Crooked Lake. Renee knows the area well, and told me about a nice running trail, and great place for dinner that overlooks the bay in downtown Petoskey, and recommendations for my next day's trip to the Upper Peninsula.

We enjoyed our quick stay in Petoskey. We were able to easily check in and get settled before taking a private wine tour around the area- our favorite was Walloon Lake Winery. The house has beautiful views and is walking distance from a cute little beach on Crooked Lake. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset with the water just warm enough to wade into. The house is definitely lived in by a family but our space was comfortable, clean, with a fantastic bathroom. We really enjoyed our time at your home Renee, hope the transition to working full time is going smoothly.

Home was lovely. It's small-ish, but perfect for two people. The view is amazing. It was very clean . The decor was lovely and modern. The hosts were very gracious. I wish we had more time to spend there! Renee! exceptionally kind and friendly host

We loved this location! It was beautiful! Everything went great! Highly recommend!!

My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to stay for a night in Petoskey, and were very happy with our time here. Renee's home is wonderful -- decorated well, very clean and in a beautiful setting with a gorgeous view. Our private room and adjoining bathroom were cozy and clean. It is conveniently located about 10 minutes from Petoskey. While our paths didn't cross, Renee was communicative and made us feel at home. Also, upon arriving we were greeted by her adorable and friendly feline! We'd definitely stay here again in the future.

6 out of 5 stars!!! Renee was an awesome host and provided a wonderful place to stay with beautiful views of the lake from the room and the deck. The house is also home to the worlds most friendly cat (its hypoallergenic too). House is very large and easy to come and go. Bed and bathroom were clean and spacious (newly remodeled and looked great). There is also an awesome dock to walk onto the lake too with a bench. More than well worth the price. It was our first airbnb experience and we will definitely be back. Very close to the city of Petoskey and the mountain (Nubs Nob, Boyne, etc.) as well. You're not gonna find a better place to stay, trust me.

Absolutely beautiful location and space for a family or group of friends to enjoy a scenic, relaxing lake-side getaway!!

Jill's place is really nice, spacious and cozy. The view is awesome, I wish we could spend more days there!

The host was great - we could arrive at any time on the arrival day and could stay as long as we wanted on the day of departure - made it much more relaxing to not be on a tight schedule! The pictures don't do justice - the house is much larger than you'd think, and is decorated so nice!

The house is very clean and cozy! We really like the detailed decoration, vintage~ ALSO, Jill is such a nice host, super nice, caring and considerate! We will definitely come back again:)

Diane was a wonderful host. Stayed in touch with us the whole time to answer questions. The location was perfect for our ski trip. Loved the seclusion but that it was 10 minutes from Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob.

Patrick was an excellent host! From the very minute we arrived, we felt at home. He made sure the house was warm for our arrival, recommended the best places to ski in the area, gave us a guide to the amenities of the home, and checked in via text periodically in case we needed anything. The cabin is a comfy space perfect for a getaway to Petoskey and the surrounding area. We cannot recommend staying here enough.

Our experience with AirBNB and Patrick was fantastic! Patrick was extremely welcoming. He sent me the key code, wifi and amenities information in a timely manner. The heat was turned on at the cabin before we arrived and the cottage was completely clean! We felt like we were staying at a relative's cottage. I would highly recommend renting from Patrick again!

Close to Nub's Knob and Boyne Highlands and made for a very comfortable family winter getaway. The cottage had everything we needed and the owners were great to work with.

We loved our stay at this charming lack house! We were pleasantly surprised at the size. Plenty of games and activities included. Close to town and ski hills. Overall a great spot to come with family!

Patrick was great to work with! He was quick to respond to questions in preparation of our stay. The house is centrally located to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Cross Village and Charlevoix. It was also clean, easy to find and great for a group of friends to visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed the lake house and had plenty of room for our group of seven (7) adults. The proximity to Petoskey, Charlevoix and Harbor Springs was a great benefit for attending a wedding, shopping and visiting with family and friends. We enjoyed great fishing (Bass, Pike, Perch and etc.), swimming, sitting around the campfire and the ability to entertain other family members and friends, visiting the area for the wedding, with a barbeque. In addition, it was nice to visit with the neighbors. Thanks for a great weekend experience.

Many thanks to Pat for helping to make our weekend stay at Crooked lake a great one! Communication was excellent, and Pat was always quick to respond to any questions we had. The cottage was ready for our arrival (with the windows already opened to let the lake breeze in), and we found a delicious little welcome gift awaiting. The cottage was very clean and the beds comfortable. The kids loved the strong wifi signal, and they really appreciated the fact that Netflix was even available. The weather didn't provide a good opportunity to swim, but the lake is great for fishing. We did well just casting from the dock. All in all, the only disappointment from our stay was the fact that we couldn't stay longer. We look forward to coming back and spending more time at Crooked Lake soon!

We had a great vacation week. Cottage was great - reminded me of when i was a kid - and the weather cooperated.

Cathy did a phenomenal job hosting us at her beautiful location. I would go back and do this all over again in a heartbeat.

We arrived late on a Friday. Before our trip Cathy called to explain how to get to her condo in detail so we had no problem finding it even in the dark. When I arrived I called her and she was so helpful in making us feel comfortable. The place is very well kept and clean. Unfortunately we were there on a rainy weekend so we couldn't enjoy the lake as much as we wanted. But I think when the weather is good just being next to the lake would be awesome. Cathy is very attentive, she called the next day to check on us and see if we need anything including directions to restaurants. Overall, we had a great stay at Cathy's condo and recommend it to anyone going to the Petoskey region.

Everything about Cathy's place was absolutely amazing. I never did get to meet Cathy however she was very accommodating as I had to have a late check in and made sure to talk to me and provide detailed directions on getting to the condo. Upon arrival everything exceeded my expectations, coffee, full kitchen, clean sheets, towels, and full WiFi/cable capabilities, the condo was absolutely perfect. The view in the mornings is incredible and Cathy was absolutely wonderful and allowed us to use her kayaks which was great and the weather was perfect. I definitely recommend the Condo on the Lake to anyone looking to spend time in Petoskey, Harbor Springs, or even Mackinac or the surrounding areas. I will definitely look at staying again when up that way again. 5 stars for Cathy's hospitality and her condo

Cathy is a wonderful, kind host. Even though she lived off-site, she was very conscious about checking in to see if I needed anything--a different coffee pot, dining guides, etc. She was very prompt in her initial response, and gave very thorough directions about how to find the condo. The space itself is lovely. Very clean and well-kept, the perfect size for a single traveler. The kitchen came fully stocked with pots, pans, and silverware. The views of Crooked Lake weren't too shabby either. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The place was perfect for what we were looking for and was exactly as advertised. Loved all the home-y touches and the kitchenette was awesome. We totally forgot toothpaste and there was some in the bathroom! Cathy was very prompt and friendly. She had coffee and creamer here waiting for us. The coffee ran low during our stay and Cathy made a special trip out for us to bring us more! Definitely would recommend.
