New Years in Petoskey

This is just about the perfect location, with views of the water and walkability to downtown restaurants. There was plenty of space to spread out given the extra winter gear we brought along. It’s a short trip to local ski resorts with its central location between Boyne and Nubs/Highland. There was an issue with the cleaning company not coming prior to our arrival but the owner responded immediately to fix it.

Fantastic location, wonderful stay

We have stayed here multiple times. The house has a direct view of the Petoskey marina and breakwater and Little Traverse Bay across a grassy park. Easy walking distance to downtown and the whole Petoskey waterfront, a beautiful modern kitchen/dining area/living room and very friendly owners.

This property has a fantastic location overlooking Lake Michigan with a beach, pier and marina just a few yards away. Despite the wonderful location it was actually quiet! We also enjoyed the two block walk to downtown Petosky and the wooded trails along a stream which were just across from the front of the house. We have already discussed another stay at this property.

Perfect location and clean

We had a wonderful stay with our family of five. The kids loved the bunk beds and we were able to have our 3yo sleep in pack n play in the back room with sliding door. Bed was comfortable, tons of streaming options, and super close to town and the lighthouse. Wasn't loud outside at all. Make sure to bring small kitchen items if you plan to cook otherwise you'll need to purchase there, items like oil, salt/pepper, etc. Plenty of plates and pans though. Really great to have the laundry on-site and worked really well. Would definitely stay again!

Great property in a perfect location

We stayed at the JLM property on family vacation. Very good communication from the owners to help prepare us. Checking in was a breeze. The property was terrific; clean and comfortable. The location is perfect; right across the street from break water pier, bike path, beach and bayfront park. Our favorite part was the covered deck that looks out over the bay; wonderful place for family meals and morning coffee. We will definitely stay with them again.

Location, location, location....

This place is amazing for a walk into beautiful Petoskey for so many shops, restaurants, coffee, and groceries. You can watch the sunset off Lake Michigan inside or outside of the unit. You can walk out to the pier, and in the summer look at all the boats. Perfect for little kids because the beach & park is right there. We stayed over New Years, so did not venture outside much. But we did walk into town because it was a warm. The inside is very nice with comfortable beds, great showers with great water pressure, two TV sets, nice kitchen area, and laundry too! Would stay again, and will recommend to friends. Only complaint is a King size bed would of been nice in the master bedroom. Wanted to point out, there are air conditioning units (it says on the listing there is not). There is an upper unit that has one King sized bed, one bathroom and kitchen/family room. We did not stay there, but looked at it. The upper unit was not being used during our stay, so there was no noise. We left some items behind, and the owners were nice enough to agree to send them to us.
