Great Up North Getaway
My husband and I stayed here with a couple of friends for a long weekend and we had a great time! The house is in great proximity to Charlevoix, Petoskey & Harbor Springs. Check in and check out was super easy, the house was very clean, and the spacious kitchen made it easy to cook meals in.

Loved our stay for family vacation!
We stayed here with our two children (ages 2 & 4) and two boxers. Our pups are well mannered, but this was the first year we'd brought them on family vacation with us, so we were a little nervous about them adjusting to a new environment. The cabin was so comfy and clean! It had everything we could have needed. We all felt right at home. Our kids found the coloring book stash and puzzle drawer as soon as we arrived, so they stayed busy while we unloaded and unpacked. They also loved all of the duck/hunting decor. I think it was the highlight of their trip. We will definitely book again if we return to the area. 10/10 recommend.

Cute Home
Cute home close to town and other areas. We have family in the mini-home park just across the road, so it was easy access to see them and go back and forth. The neighbor kids were friendly with my son and helped us navigate to the park and the bakery. Overall a great experience, would recommend again!

Clean and Updated - time for new mattresses
Overall we had a nice stay. The property is is clean and updated. The pics are exactly what we got. Two points to consider: 1. It's time to update the mattresses. They are spongy soft. We all woke up sore because of lack of support while sleeping. 2. there is not much there as far as the neighborhood goes. Neighbors were fine and overall it was quiet but we did all of our day trips in Petoskey. That is a 15 minute drive just fyi. The large table was great for breakfast and games at night. One final note that my adult kids were laughing about, the lock was unusually hard to operate. It's a combination of key and digital buttons. It took a while to get the lock to work and then get the key out. My girls would wait in the car while I struggled with the key. It became the running joke for the weekend. I'm gonna chalk this up to operator error but there were no instructions and I'm generally a pretty handy guy. Hope this helps

Don't stay
The outside area was unkept. The neighborhood location was terrible. Though it was obvious the interior had been updated, the furniture was old and worn. This is definitely not worth the price paid

Quaint cabin!
Quaint cabin not too far from downtown Alanson. Quick drive to Petosky (20 minutes) & Pellston with a 30 minute drive to Mackinaw City. Cabin is exactly as pictured with enough amenities in the kitchen to cook a full meal.

A great few days in this lovely house, just 15 minutes away from skiing at Nubs Nob and Boyne Highlands. Beds were super comfortable. Our dog had a fantastic time, especially enjoyed walking in McCune Nature Reserve.

Nice place but...
Neighborhood is a bit run down. The tree in front of the house is in terrible need of attention, draws mosquitoes and provides 0 light. The beds definitely need replaced. Very uncomfortable. However, the actual home itself is nice and clean with updated appliances. Remodel is nicely done. Short distance to all of the sights in Petoskey, Indian Springs, and Mackinac.

Great stay and location
This home was ideal for our needs, including our two Westies. It was very clean with most of the amenities one needs. If you are interested in visiting all major attractions in the Lower Peninsula (Mackinac Island, Petosky and Charlevoix), it is the perfect location.

Bad experience
I did not receive check-in instructions before check in. I arrived with my kids after a 6-hr drive and couldn’t enter. Evolve, the company that runs this property, promised compensation but did not deliver. The property itself is basic (tho clean and functional) and not in the nicest area.

Great Getaway
The property was really nice. The home was really clean and very tastefully decorated. It was a very comfortable home to stay in and very close to several attractions and nearby cities. I would stay again. Communication with the property manager was slow in response time. This would be the only negative. The actual homeowner Dave responded immediately which was great!

Lovely place!
Instantly felt at home! We were greeted with a bottle of wine (for us) and dog bones for our fur babes! We didn't bring them along on this trip but they loved the surprise when we brought them home. Very cute/updated place, very clean. Extra bedding and towels provided. No complaints at all!
