It Doesn’t Get Much Better Than This!!!

This was the best week at the best rental in a perfect location! From the moment we entered the property we were blown away. Such a pleasure to stay at a top notch place where the hosts go above and beyond to make the stay extra special! Extremely clean, well equipped and private. Mandie is a superb host that thinks of all the extra details. We didn’t want to leave. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Mandie and Jeremy!

Wonderful ski weekend

This is a beautiful property in a convenient location.Warm and cozy living area, charming decor and spotless. Kitchen was well stocked with everyday essentials. Extras in the bathroom in case you forgot any toiletries. The property manager even left a treat for us from American Spoon. Can't wait to book this property again!

Petoskey Weekend

This is a first class property in New condition. If you like quiet nights, this works well. It is similar to a two bedroom bungalow with all of the comforts of a modern home. The property is in a peaceful setting w wonderful lake view

Gorgeous overlooking Lake Michigan

Cutest carriage house overlooking lake Michigan, beautiful views & beautifully decorated… kitchen is well stocked & beds are comfortable. Also love that it’s situated between Petoskey and Charlevoix. But our favorite part was the mesmerizing water, opening the balcony door and hearing the wind and the water. Perfect relaxing fall weekend with lots of beautiful color. Can’t wait to return! ♥️♥️♥️

An absolutely wonderful experience. We didn’t want to leave!!!

Not only was the view from the balcony unbelievable, the house was beautifully decorated, well equipped with everything anyone would need, and just plain fantastic! The owners have thought of every detail. When we arrived, we were greeted by the owner and she even gave us fresh Michigan corn. We woke up to a well-stocked coffee bar and enjoyed our coffee watching the sunrise on the water from the balcony. We will be back!

Exceptional stay at spectacular cottage!

Bella Vista was the perfect location for our stay in Michigan! We visited Charlevoix, Traverse City, Petoskey and Mackinaw. The host was great about making sure we had everything we needed and kindly dropped off a delicious loaf of homemade bread that we enjoyed for breakfast. The view from the balcony was beautiful and there was a great beach just across the street. The cottage was a very well supplied with everything we needed to cook and relax at the end of the day. 5 stars all the way!! We will stay here next time we are back. Thank you so much Mandie, we loved our stay.

Just perfect!

Not sure where to start since everything was just perfect. When you pull into the driveway you see a beautiful fountain with incredible landscaping and flowers. The location is between Petosky and Charlevoix, so great places to visit within 10 minutes each way. The suite is new and beautiful with a complete kitchen with everything you would ever need. Beds are very comfortable and rooms are all decorated with a Paris theme. Enjoy coffee and drinks on the deck with an awesome view of the bay. The host was very helpful and responsive. We plan on staying again soon and telling all of our friends. If you like luxury with a view, this is the place to be!

Beautiful Carriage House for a relaxing stay at Little Traverse Bay

The carriage house was a beautiful place situated halfway between Charlevoix and Petoskey that allowed us to explore all the communities around the area. The carriage house was comfortable and very thoughtfully decorated and a great place to relax away from the busyness of the tourist towns nearby. We were supplied with everything we could need and appreciated the thoughtful extras that many VRBO's do not have. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck with a view of Lake Michigan over the treetops. Mandie is a wonderful host. She is so pleasant and helpful and very responsive to any questions we had. She even brought us home made cookies on the last night of our stay. We would definitely return here the next time we are looking for a place in this area.

Tell all your friends! Wait! Keep it our secret!

This rental is beautiful and well appointed on the inside, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen is to die for. The view of Lake Michigan combined with the proximity to both Charlevoix and Petosky without being in the thick of things is the icing on the cake. We will definitely come here again.
