Marvelous!
Communication with the owners was nearly instantaneous. They were gracious and welcoming. The house is older but beautifully redone. It is welcoming and comfortable. The rooms are spacious and feel like home. The kitchen is well stocked. The appliances are nice. The home is two story, and with two kids, it’s a life saver to have a full bathroom downstairs. I’m not familiar with housing architectural types (craftsman, cottage, and so on), but I was fascinated with trying to figure out which parts of the house were original and which were redone. The flooring in the bathrooms just blew me away. Stunning! We loved our stay in this home and will definitely contact them again when we are back in the area.

Northern Michigan Visit
Home was clean, comfortable and conveniently located to Alpena amenities. An easy walk to restaurants. Being situated relatively close to downtown we were concerned with the possibility of noise disrupting our sleep but it turned out to be a non-factor. Neighbors were cordial and respectful. A very enjoyable stay.

Week in Alpena
Although the weather was disappointing several days, the home was great . It is located walking distance to downtown and local restaurants. The area appeared very safe . The best part was how stocked the home was with supplies. I tend to over pack and there was no need for that at this home. Shampoo, other bathroom items, kitchen supplies, and plenty of other household items were supplied in the home. The owner was very responsive and checked in to see how things were going . We enjoyed our stay very much in this home :)

Cute and clean!
Pros: Really cute decor! Well-stocked kitchen. Plenty of room for 2 couples. Nice gas grill outside. Beds were comfy. Nice linens and towels. Good location. Be aware that there is no air conditioning and even with fans bedrooms were a bit stuffy (but it was in the 80's duribg our stay). Room to improve: Has potential to be a really nice backyard - sitting areas with fire pit and chairs and separate area with umbrella table and chairs, could be great place to relax - but front and back yards were in need of mowing and flower bed tending. Just felt unkept and uninviting. Also, hand railings up the steps to both doors were very wobbly.
