Aug 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bike getaway Excellent location close to bike trail and water . Walking distance to large market and pharmacy etc. Quiet. Very clean and seemingly new . Only caution no AC although breeze and current temps it was comfortable . Would stay again for sure. ##### Bob M. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Matt W. Sep 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Petoskey Stay Slightly out of the downtown area, not too far. Close to bike trails and the beach! Great little set up. Our only concern, the house does not have air conditioning. This is not outlined really at all in the listing on VRBO. Thankfully we had fairly cool weather or it would have been miserable for our family as all but 1 bedroom is upstairs. Type the key code very quickly or it will time out. ##### Matt W. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne B. Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Check in was easy. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of plates and cups and cooking supplies. ##### Suzanne B. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Cynthia S. Aug 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Property is fine as long as you don’t need the property manager!! The house itself was fine! Comfy beds, box fans in all rooms (no ac), equipped kitchen, toiletries for bathrooms!! Great location/walking distance to grocery store and laundry mat (which i didn’t think i would need). Right next to the bike trail, easy access to the beach to watch sunsets!! My issue with this house was the property manager. The code on the door is a 10-digit code which is way too long. It sometimes times out before you get the whole code entered. Our first night there had issues with the toilet chain it kept coming loose and we had to manually flush it by taking the back lid off the toilet. I messaged the property manager first thing the next morning to let them know thinking they would send someone out to fix it. All i got was thank you for making me aware. I also messaged for instructions regarding the trash they could not tell me what day trash comes and didn’t tell me that special bags were needed in order for trash to be picked up. These special blue bags can be purchased at the grocery store and trash pick-up is on Monday. Then 3 days into our 11 day stay the washer leaked all over the basement. I let them immediately know and received an email saying thank you they would let their local team know. All of these things happened early enough in our stay I thought for sure they would send someone out, but no one ever came. I had to use the laundry mat and manually flush the toilet. Property manager did not seem concerned about standing water in basement. ##### Cynthia S. Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mellina F. May 30, 2024 Disliked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The listing was anything but accurate. There is not a large backyard, the “fire pit” propane unit was broken, and didn’t even have propane attached to it. The lawn was not mowed. I have been waiting for the owners to contact me for two weeks now. However, it is clear they do not care about guest satisfaction. Inside was clean and looks nice. However all of the furniture is wobbly. The faucet was broken in the bathroom downstairs. And the kitchen where the fridge is looks like it has structural issues. ##### Mellina F.
