Shouldn’t say steps from lake when there is no lake access. Loved pets allowed and private yard. Enjoyed our stay. ##### Lori P. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nini S. Aug 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice quiet getaway The place was clean and nicely decorated. The street is off of a busy road, but we didn't notice any noise indoors. The tree line provided a nice barrier even outside. We had all the amenities we needed. We loved watching the bunnies hop around the yard. The location was close enough to walk to the restaurant across the street, which had good food. It's just a short drive to downtown Petoskey. We really enjoyed our stay. ##### Nini S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Karen f. Jul 6, 2024 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Disappointed but made the best of it. The property was full of weeds—and a few dead animals. The “lake view” was obstructed by an overgrown shrub and an eyesore of a neighboring garage. The larger bed was comfortable, however the sheets were dirty (sandy and hairy) and pilled which made them uncomfortable to sleep on. We changed them. The dryer was not vented properly, so unfortunately the lint and heat came directly into the living space. There is one window a/c unit that operates by a light switch (took us a few days to figure that out). The host (Patrick) was initially very helpful—until I expressed my disappointment. Overall, the area is full of many things to do—everything is a short drive away. The photographs of the outside property do not reflect the actual state of the cottage. ##### Karen f.

We grilled out quite a bit & enjoyed sitting at the picnic table and being able to see the lake. Patrick was very helpful with any requests that we had while there. Make sure you check out the Northwood restaurant. Very good food. The house was clean & worked for our family. ##### Peggy F. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Bahamas](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Bahamas-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d13-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Americas Best Value Inn Birch Run](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Americas-Best-Value-Inn-Birch-Run.h459526.Hotel-Information) > > [Howard Johnson by Wyndham Winnipeg West](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-By-Wyndham-Winnipeg-West.h970633.Hotel-Information) > > [Cottages New Brunswick](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Brunswick-Cottages.d11161-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hampton Inn Birch Run/Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Birch-RunFrankenmuth.h60671.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Traverse Resort And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Traverse-City-Hotels-Grand-Traverse-Resort-And-Spa.h23524.Hotel-Information) > > [Quite Cottage on Private Lake w/Fishing Boat Included!](https://www.expedia.ca/Delton-Hotels-Quite-Cottage-On-Private-Lake-Wfishing-Boat-Included.h28840021.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Cabo San Lucas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-San-Lucas-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d180032-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Comfort Inn Birch Run - Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Birch-Run-Frankenmuth.h64091.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Birch Run - Frankenmuth Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Birch-Run-Frankenmuth-Area.h59593.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Truro](https://www.expedia.ca/Truro-Hotels.d7164.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Inn at Bay Harbor](https://www.expedia.ca/Petoskey-Hotels-Inn-At-Bay-Harbor.h200771.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Birch Run-Frankenmuth, MI](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h64238.Hotel-Information) > > [MarriottHotelsResorts Hotels in Southern Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Southern-Ontario-Hotels-Marriott-Hotels-Resorts.0-0-d6210011--bMarriottHotelsResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Westin Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-The-Westin-Ottawa.h9572.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Tobago](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Tobago-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d602308-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Slumber Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Wolfville-Hotels-Slumber-Inn.h460541.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambria Hotel Shelby Township - Detroit Utica](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Cambria-Hotel-Shelby-Township-Detroit.h36376648.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [flights from qla all airports airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/qla/flights-from-qla-all-airports-airport) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yhz/toronto-to-halifax) ### Packages > [Mount Norquay Ski Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Norquay-Ski-Resort-Alberta.d6089277.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Downtown-Toronto.dx6057934) > > [Visit Toronto Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Islands.dx6005603)
