The owner was very good to work with and responsive. When we let him know that the coffee maker wasnt working, he replaced it immediately. It was great that the 4 adults were all able to have their own bedroom. It was a bit of a walk to downtown, but totally doable.The main reason for the mark down is that we feel like the description was not accurate. It is listed as a newer, whole house rental. This is an older house and the rental is the back half of the house only. The rental area is a cobbled together space and felt very unfinished. To enter the property, you walk through one of the bedrooms. The only full bath is in a converted back porch that didnt have air and I'm not sure if it would be heated in the winter. One of the bedrooms is a closed off space with no windows or heat/cooling vents. The towels and bedding were all old and mismatched, but they were clean.Overall, the space worked for us, but didnt match with the description and we were a bit uncomfortable knowing that it was a shared property.

Owner was responsive. House was clean, had all that we needed in the kitchen, linens, etc.Went for a softball tournament, so really only needed a place to sleep. Loved being able to bring our dogs. Location was close to downtown.

Disappointing Stay – Not as AdvertisedOur stay at this property was unfortunately not what we expected. First, it’s important for future guests to know that the rental is not for the entire house—the owner lives in the front portion of the home, which was not clearly stated in the listing.The house itself lacked comfort. There were no screens on the windows, so we couldn’t open them for fresh air. Air conditioning was only available in select rooms, making the rest of the space quite uncomfortable. The shower setup was also odd—you have to go through a bedroom and use a sliding glass door to access it. Water pressure was very low.We booked this property because it was listed as pet-friendly. Thankfully, we didn’t bring our dogs. The yard was overgrown and not fenced in, despite the photos giving that impression.The kitchen was inconvenient for cooking. The oven was small and could only fit one dish at a time. The coffee pot took over an hour to brew, and there was no Keurig or option for single-cup coffee. The shower curtain was also in poor condition and in need of replacement.Overall, the property needs some serious updates to match the price being charged. I would not recommend this rental in its current state.

Up North getaway Dear Al, Thank You for hosting and allowing us to stay in your house. We love your place-it is quiet, spacious, comfortable and unique. It is in a good neighborhood, and walking distance to the charming downtown with shops and restaurants. It is close proximity to the lakes and Petoskey State Park. We especially love the personal touches throughout your house that you provided during our stay. The house reminded us of an addition my father in law built onto his house, but with even more artistic & character. It also reminded me of my grandfather who used his creativity to build things around the house and handmade things for family & friends. Thank You Al for your kindness and for making us feel "at home". We had a great stay & had so much fun exploring Petoskey, Mackinac Island, & Charlevoix. We will come back & stay at your place again. Sincerely-Loanie & family.p.s. Thank you for the Petoskey stones!

The place was a dump. Poorly maintained and poorly constructed. Code violations appeared rampant. A decent location was the only thing going for the place. The owner appeared to live in the front part of the house, though we understood that a Vrbo rental should be for the whole house. TV reception was spotty. Would NEVER recommend this place to anyone.

Loved the house We loved the house. The location is absolutely perfect. Al is a great host and was so welcoming. Our kids loved searching for petoskey rocks, and Al was able to give them tips on where to search. He was so kind and also gave them several polished stones. We loved exploring Petoskey. Bear River Park was a really near area right in the middle of downtown. Thanks Al, and we can’t wait to come back!
