Petosky visit

Karen shares her property providing a clean, comfortable and private apartment. A block away from a fantastic walkway along the lake. Petosky State Park is a short drive and has a beautiful walking beach. There is another nice trail along the river which is within walking distance from the apartment. Karen provided everything we needed for a perfect stay. We hope to return one day. So much to see in beautiful Michigan. Thank you, Karen

Best VRBO to Date

Of all the VRBOs we have stayed at (in several states), this one is the most like home as far as having all the things we need. It is very comfortable, and in great walking distance of the shops and restaurants downtown. The hostess is very pleasant and does a great job communicating. This is our second stay at this rental, and I daresay not the last.

What a view and great place

The initial view of the lake thrilled us. It was the perfect location for an easy walk to the beach, or into town, or an easy bike ride to the great Little Travers Wheelway. The living area was clean, cozy and had everything we needed. Karen was a pleasure to work with and communicated promptly. We’ll be back.

It has a gorgeous view from the porch. Arrive during daylight to enjoy it. I didn't get a message from the owner with the combination to the door. We had a little trouble finding the property. It wasn't lighted up. A lighted sign with the name of the property would be helpful. My wife forgot Tylenol she needs to sleep, for knee pain. There was a first aid kit containing Tylenol. It saved the night!
