Family Reunion
The property is just outside the Petoskey main street where it's far enough there's a lot of privacy and quiet, but close enough for a 5-10 minute drive to most venues, stores, etc. Having one room with a bathroom built in and two others near the other bathroom was convenient for us. The family space/kitchen area had plenty of room for us to congregate and do puzzles/play games and eat together. Only note is the driveway area is unpaved and the terrain is not friendly to folks with mobility devices so be sure to contact the property manager about that before booking. We had no problems during our stay.

Ski/Snowboard Trip
The house was as-described and pretty clean. A decent variety of cookware/kitchen appliances. The water was very hard; we did not use it for cooking/drinking/etc.

Cleaning fee is way to high. We pick up after ourselves. 10am check out is too early. Otherwise awesome time.
