This Walloon Lake cottage is in a great location, close to Boyne Mountain and Petoskey. We enjoyed the hot tub and the large fenced yard for our dog. We had everything we needed for our stay and we really appreciated the extra touches such as the smore making ingredients and hot chocolate. We would definitely stay at the cottage again.

Lovely cottage, perfect location!

This was the most charming cottage and a PERFECT location in Walloon Lake. We traveled with our 2 year old daughter and our dog and appreciated the fenced in yard and safe (though still very close) distance to the water for that reason. We were able to relax and dine outside as a family with peace of mind while they explored the yard, and the hosts thought of everything to make the atmosphere comfortable and fun. Beautiful beach, nice playground and coffee/restaurants all moments’ walk away, plus it was a short drive to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. 10/10 we had such a wonderful time.

End of Summer Family Vacation

Larissa & Adam were excellent hosts! Their communication and ease of check-in and check-out were top notch. The rental was extremely clean and we appreciated all of the ammenities provided (start-up for cleaning/paper products, well stocked kitchen utensils and cookware, clean bathroom!). Larissa checked in upon arrival as well as throughout our stay to ensure we were well taken care of. This cottage is located just a short walk to downtown Walloon Lake. It was a very easy walk to the public beach and park (even with two littles under the age of 5). The location is also excellent for easy access to major grocery stores and plenty of restaurants. We had a wonderful stay!

Cozy cottage

Overall our stay in Walloon was great. This house, while cute, was not worth the price gauge that we faced. There was a list about 10 deep of issues we faced in 3 short days. Pictures are definitely not as they seem. Outdoors are not well kept, jacuzzi and lights were dilapidated at best, we weren’t informed of a few non working things before arrival. While the owner did their best to accommodate during their busy weekend it still did not live up to the cost. Sadly, they were unwilling to compensate for any of the inconvenience we faced. This home should be valued as an extended stay hotel especially given the one tiny bathroom. If you have more than 2 kids good luck.

Checked all the boxes

This little cottage was perfect for us. We were able to bring our dogs and have the freedom to let them roam around in the fenced in yard. The home is walking distance to the few shops/restaurants that Walloon has to offer. The hot tub was perfect for the chilly nights we had and gave us something extra to do with our downtime. It was also so nice to have such a quick drive to both boyne city and petoskey. Highly highly recommend this stay. The hosts were so helpful, communicative, and left a sweet welcome letter upon our arrival. We have definitely added this to our “must revisit” list.
