We enjoyed our stay! The property is roomy, clean, and well appointed. Our only suggestion would be to add a second bathroom in the basement.

Family Visit
We stayed at this property to visit family for a long weekend in November. The house was clean, cozy and had all the amenities for a fun weekend getaway. The kids loved the basement! We hope to return in the summer. Thanks!

Awesome vacation
I was very impressed with the house. I love the fact that we could cook our meal. Plus we were in the middle of Petoskey and Mackinac. The house was wonderful and the host left us a welcome basket was a treat. My pets were happy and our daughter was happy she had her own space. It was a amazing experience and i hope that we can rent it again.I will recommend this house.

Fantastic stay!
I was in town for work. This was in close proximity and gave me the much needed relaxation at the end of the day. The only minor issue was that there were limited carpet/rugs (for my pet). She had a hard time getting around on the slippery floors so I had to improvise with blankets and rugs that I brought with us. Otherwise, everything was wonderful! The added treats were perfect.

Family Trip to Mackinac Island
My sisters and I took my mom (5 in group total) on a summer trip to Mackinac Island area for a long weekend. The house is lovely, extremely clean, well designed, many amenities and sleeping accommodations for each of us, we all slept like a rock. The house close to Mackinac Island, Mackinac City and tons of local cute shops and restaurants. We decided to cook most meals and the stove, grill, and kitchen supplies were exceptional, they had everything we needed to cook excellent meals and enjoy them in the main living area. The game room was an absolute suprise, we all spent an afternoon laughing and playing like kids; air hockey, foosball, arcade games, pool, recreational area for movies and lounging. The last night we enjoyed the firepit, relaxing and talking abt the fun we had; Mackinac Island, the Lumberjack show, the casino, a local vineyard that was absolutely quaint, good wine, performers... such a great trip. The homeowners were responsive, helpful and wonderful to work with. Book your stay, you'll love it.

Alanson Home
We loved our stay at the Alanson home. It was super clean. The neighborhood had a variety of homes and I wasn't comfortable letting my kids bike around alone with a house that looked very run down a few doors down.

My family and I stayed the week in preparation for our oldest daughter’s wedding. Love the area and proximity to so many places. Very clean home and tucked away in a quiet corner within walking distance of downtown Alanson. Downstairs game room was a bonus between running around.

Great Alanson Long Weekend
We had a great stay in Alanson. Great location to walk anywhere in Alanson and short drive to Petoskey, Mackinaw, Indian River and Harbor Springs. House was extremely clean and perfect size for our family and grandkids. Perfect amount of rooms and fun game room downstairs for our grandson. Overall it was a great long weekend. Thank you Jason and Marie.
