This place is incredible. It comes fully stocked (unlike some places that say they do but don’t). The hosts are amazing. Zero complaints! Location is excellent bed was comfy. I’d definitely call it a 3 bedroom though! The “4th” is right in the middle of everything.

Great location and great care taken by the owners to make this feel like a home away from home for their guests. Owners were helpful and communicative throughout our stay. We could not have been happier with our stay and we hope to have a chance to visit again.

We’re grateful to have experienced it and will 100% be back—this is the only place we want to stay in northern Michigan!

Short but sweet!
A perfect location to give our Australian visitors an idea about the town of Petoskey. We could park the car and enjoy walking everywhere. The hosts provided great information about the apartment and the area. Thanks to our hosts for all the thoughtful ideas and for making the place so cosy, clean and comfortable.

Amazing stay in Downtown Petosky
We had an amazing stay at this VRBO! We were right downtown and walked to so many good little places to eat. We had 3 teenagers with us and they enjoyed the ease of walking to local business and restaurants. The VRBO was beautiful. It was fully stocked and had plenty of room for my family of 5. Kristin was an amazing host and checked to make sure we were comfortable or if we needed anything. We definitely plan to return!

Fabulous apartment!
What a gem! Thoughtful, stylish and comfortable.
The location was in the heart of downtown yet still felt very private. We loved opening the windows and listening to hum of people below. The layout was ideal. There are a lot of entry steps, but we didn't mind as they were wide and there is a railing.
We loved how the floorplan flowed with a front and back area. Our girls took the back bedrooms and tended to hang out there and the kitchen area. This gave us a quiet area in the front room.
The apartment was thoughtfully furnished with details and little tips/notes throughout. There were plenty of fresh linens and the master bed was comfy. We slept well, especially with the evening window breeze.
The kitchen was nicely furnished with cookware, dishwasher, and garbage disposal. The water pressure was lacking, but there was a stand alone water cooler that helped.
Thoughtful touches included a stocked game table, books, toiletries, remote controlled ceiling fans, sound machines in every room, and more! The hostess even left us treats for our arrival. My girls were so thrilled!
We would highly recommend this place and hope to return soon!

Cozy Getaway for the Family
There are so many great things to share about La Casetta Petoskey! Our family (two adults; 5 teenagers) raved about our stay – coining our trip “the best one yet”.
La Casetta is right downtown with access to everything Petoskey has to offer. We parked in one of the overnight lots and walked nearly everywhere. It’s around the corner from food, shopping, bars, and the water – truly something for everyone. Petoskey is one of our favorite cities to visit and the location of La Casetta couldn’t be any more perfect.
Kristin and Marnie thought of EVERYTHING! It was one of the best stocked places we have ever stayed and we’ve stayed in quite a few vacation rentals. In unit washer and dryer was a life-saver for when we got caught in the rain or wanted to freshen up our beach towels. The artwork around the apartment gave a nice touch of home and everything was labeled which made finding things a breeze. There is enough room to hang out together or find a quiet space if someone needed to relax by themselves.
The only item to consider before renting with a large group is that there is currently only one bathroom. This did make getting ready a challenge, but we got into a routine after the first night. It was easier than I had anticipated. Finally, if you have significant mobility issues, this apartment is located up a steep flight of stairs. There is a landing space halfway and a railing to assist, but it can feel like a hike.
Overall, we loved our experience and plan to return!
