The Little House

LilaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our visit to the little house, there were tons of mowed trails to wander and explore and our kids loved running around and looking at all the cars and treasures, the photos don't do it justice. The home was clean and cute and vintage and peaceful. Highly recommend if you need a getaway and like to be outdoors to walk without having to drive somewhere. It was just a short drive to Mackinaw City and the lakeshore as well.

Harbor Springs hilltop home.

NicoleRating, 5 stars10 months ago
We stayed at Cathy's place while having plans at Nub's Nob. The location was absolutely perfect. Cathy was incredibly friendly and helpful. The house was beautiful and comfortable and it truly felt like a home away from home. We would, without a doubt, stay here again when in the area.

Cozy Condo - Near Boyne City & Lake Charlevoix

MicheleRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Nick's place was great. Super clean and cozy. Electric fireplace was great to have when coming in from the cold. Beds were comfortable. Had everything we needed. Would like to point out that for a person who needs a fan( other than a ceiling fan) to sleep, it was nice to see that each bedroom had a box/ oscillating fan in the closet. Might seem trivial...but it meant 2 great nights of sleep for me. 😁 . Location was great. Very close to downtown Boyne City. Cute lil up north town. 10-15 drive to Boyne Mountain. Also very easy and relatively close drive to Charlevoix and Petoskey. Great for a 1/2 day or day trip. Nick was responsive in a timely manner. All was very good. Would stay again for sure.

Stunning Waterfront, Updated TC Condo with Pool!

RileyRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We loved our stay! The listing was exceptionally clean and amenities were as described. We enjoyed the location and having a coffee shop and (delicious) burger joint in walkable distance was a great bonus! The view of the beach and water right off the private balcony was wonderful and having a heated pool/hot tub combo right on property made this an ideal booking for our family. We’d come back and would recommend to others!

AdamRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was the perfect place for our family of four. A great jumping off point to so much of what we wanted to see and do in Michigan. The accommodations were perfect and this will always hold a special place in our memories as our kids’ first experience in a hot tub! Can’t wait to come back again!

Beautiful Log Cabin on the River with Hot Tub

SuniRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This place was so nice and relaxing! One thing that we were happy about is that they welcomed dogs! We have 2, 9 month old mini poodles and this was their first adventure so having a host that accepts pets was #1 on our list. This place is way better than the pictures! We felt right at home and we loved watching the boats go by on the river! The beds were so comfy and made for an even better relaxing time. I highly recommend this place. It is very private and quiet! We saw lots of different types of birds, including a couple eagles. We knew a beaver was close by but never got to see him, only his handy work. I wish we could have stayed longer and hope to be back in the future! Thank you Donald, we soooo enjoyed your place!

Loved this place for our girls weekend. The stairs were narrow but knew this before we booked. Place was clean and had some nice extras …. Hammock and hot tub was used often. Katie was a wonderful host. We did not have any problem so the there was little contact. Blinds on the entry door would be a nice thing to add. Would recommend! 5 stars for this beautiful little A Frame.

Aspen Way Chalet! By Petoskey and Harbor Springs

TaraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The little A frame is adorable! Went for a short girls trip and enjoy absolutely everything about it. Kitchen is fully stocked as is the bathroom, beds were comfy, decor is so warm and welcoming and the setting is so peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed our morning and evening walks looking at all the cute houses in the area. The location is perfect! Easy access to Harbor Springs, Petosky, Boyne, Petosky State Park, beaches and many wineries. It was the perfect weekend away. Would love to return in the fall to see the beautiful fall colors.

Cozy Aframe with Fireplace in Harbor Springs

JaclynRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was my and my husband's first time in Northern Michigan so we wanted to make sure we stayed somewhere that was comfortable and nice. I am pretty picky when it comes to cleanliness and Chris's aframe was probably one of the most clean Airbnbs I've stayed in. I appreciated all of the little touches and amenities that, to me, can make a big difference (a sound machine! fans! extra pillows and blankets! mirrors! hangers! somewhere to put your luggage!). I would definitely recommend this place! I think it would be even cozier in the fall.

Valley View Vacation Rental

AshleyRating, 5 starstoday
Came to the area for the Lilac Parade on the island & found Kim's AirB&B to stay at. It was our first time Glamping and it was beautiful! (We are tent campers with no bells & whistles, so this was pretty upscale for us!) We had everything we needed and the location was great, far from the chaos of life but close enough to jump on the hwy when needed. Overall it was an excellent stay and Kim was a great Host! Thank you!

Guest Suite near Cross Village

MeredithRating, 5 stars6 days ago
This was such a find! We loved the cozy “up north” style accommodations during our Harbor Springs/Mackinac Island adventure. The homemade zucchini bread, eggs, and fixings were such a thoughtful touch, and we appreciated borrowing the beach chairs when we wandered to the beach. Thanks for sharing your beautiful property, hospitality, and amazing recommendations! We hope to be back again soon!

The House Next Door: In-Town Harbor Springs

MelindaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
What a welcoming little home in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. We had everything we needed, including lots of recommendations for local things to do. We enjoyed walking to the Saturday morning farmer’s market and picked up some locally made soaps, pasta, and sweets! The house was very clean and beautifully decorated…a relaxing color palette with mid century modern touches throughout. We enjoyed morning coffee while watching the chipmunks and birds play outside. We really enjoyed our stay!

Your guide to Petoskey

All About Petoskey

Petoskey is a coastal community near the northern tip of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula that offers unrivaled views of Lake Michigan’s Little Traverse Bay and well-preserved Victorian buildings. The small town concentrates its specialty shops, restaurants, and art galleries along the lakefront. Bayfront Park, on the shore of the bay, offers shade under the green trees, and a waterfall that makes a nice spot for a picnic.

Beautiful scenery and an abundance of multi-use trails draw birders, hikers, and mountain bikers to the area. Petoskey State Park has an excellent connecting trail system, and its Old Baldy and Portage Loop is a short and easy favorite with scenic views of the lake. Once the winter snows begin to fall, you can head to one of the three ski areas nearby for downhill skiing or snowboarding. Nordic skiing is also popular, and you’ll find numerous groomed trails for cross-country and snowshoeing in town and outside the city limits.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Petoskey

This part of northern Michigan sees dramatic shifts in weather conditions from season to season, with hot summers, colorful shoulder seasons, and frigid winters. From June to August, you’ll find mild weather, with a tinge of humidity, and clear sunny days, making it the best time to indulge in outdoor recreation or rent a boat to spend time on the lake. If you schedule your visit between July and August, you can take in the Petoskey Antique Show at the fairgrounds. The foliage on the trees takes on bright autumnal colors starting in late September, and you’ll want to have sweaters and warm coats with you. While the temperatures in November and December descend below the freezing point, Petoskey comes alive during this time with holiday programs. As winter progresses, the snow cover builds, and it won’t disperse until April or even early May.


Top things to do in Petoskey

Historic Gaslight District

The Historic Gaslight District features remodeled buildings transformed into shops, restaurants, and specialty stores. If you are looking for souvenirs of your Petoskey trip, several stores in this area offer crafty decorative items. You’ll also find a series of art galleries filled with paintings and photographs made by local artists. The streets are lined with the gaslights, which cast a warm glow on the restaurant patios in the warmer months.

Petoskey State Park

Miles of trails through stands of white pine thread through Petoskey State Park, which hugs the shores of Little Traverse Bay. During the warmer months, you can take relaxing swims in the Lake Michigan waters or hunt along the sandy beach for Charlevoix or Petoskey stones — fossilized prehistoric coral — to keep as souvenirs.

Bear River Valley Recreation Area

The Bear River flows north through the center of Petoskey into Lake Michigan, running in a narrow valley lined with lush green grasses and trees. Adrenaline seekers come to the Bear River Valley Recreational Area to raft or kayak down a whitewater stream that descends 75 feet in a series of turns and steep slopes. You can also bike or wander along the paved trail that follows the river’s twists and turns.
