Perfect location

Property was a perfect location for our annual visit to the area. This was actually our second time in this house and we appreciate the cleanliness and amenities. Everything we may have needed was available in the kitchen and bathrooms and the check in/check out process was seamless.

Well stocked and convenient to everywhere

We were in Alpena to visit our daughter and grandchildren. They live about half a mile away. We were amazed at all the condiments, utensils, and supplies in the house. The Wi-Fi worked great - I worked all week from the house. We come up to visit (usually) at least a couple times per year and are looking forward to staying here again.

Great location

Loved walking to the downtown area and driving to nearby towns, beaches, lighthouses. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms Bedrooms a bit stuffy in spite of AC; windows couldn’t be opened (Be careful of the sloped ceilings if you’re tall) Lovely backyard with outdoor sitting and eating areas. Owner very responsive

We had a wonderful wedding weekend!

Thanks to Jennie for making us so comfortable. We very much appreciated the toys and games for the kids and the spacious dining room and kitchen. The big, well-furnished backyard is great for evening soirees. The only drawbacks for us were concerns about slipping in the shower or the tub. Plastic mats with suction cups would solve the issue. Our tall folks bumped their heads on the ceiling over the steps, bedrooms and bathrooms, but I doubt that those angles could be lit differently to make them more obvious. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay.

Northern Michigan Visit

Home was clean, comfortable and conveniently located to Alpena amenities. An easy walk to restaurants. Being situated relatively close to downtown we were concerned with the possibility of noise disrupting our sleep but it turned out to be a non-factor. Neighbors were cordial and respectful. A very enjoyable stay.

Lovely Home

We had a great time at this lovely home. It has so much space and different rooms to sit in and enjoy. They provided much more than we would have expected a place to provide: baking supplies, bathroom products, along with regular items you would expect. It is easy to find and in a great location close to food and places to explore. Responses to my communications were pretty much immediate. We hope to book time there again soon.

Amazing Alpena Adventure

My friends from college rented the house together and we had a wonderful time! We were all very impressed with the adorably decorated house and how fully stock it was. The owners truly thought of everything from having extra tupperware, plenty of spices, and a book of recommendations in the area. The house was a great set up for playing games, grilling out, and enough space to everyone to have their alone time when needed. It was a great distance to downtown and we walked to Downtown Scoops on multiple occasions :) I would absolutely recommend this property again!

Week in Alpena

Although the weather was disappointing several days, the home was great . It is located walking distance to downtown and local restaurants. The area appeared very safe . The best part was how stocked the home was with supplies. I tend to over pack and there was no need for that at this home. Shampoo, other bathroom items, kitchen supplies, and plenty of other household items were supplied in the home. The owner was very responsive and checked in to see how things were going . We enjoyed our stay very much in this home :)

Charming and Comfortable

I don't think I've ever stayed in a short-term rental that was more intuitively arranged than this one. Jennie had thought of everything from extra bathroom towel hooks to luggage storage. It was easy to find things like extra garbage bags or extra blankets. The home had everything we needed without feeling cluttered or like I was living in someone else's leftovers. The house is an older home and very charming. It was spotless! The listing states that there is not central air conditioning, but we were very comfortable in late May.
