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 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.

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!

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!

Cozy Cabin for Our Summer Vacation
This property was very nicely remodeled and themed on the inside. The property was just as described in the listing. The property was very clean and in very good shape in the interior. The outside was maintained in the front. It happened to be unusually hot during our stay, so it was very helpful that the property had AC to keep us cool. The property had lots of amenities on the inside to make it a cozy place to stay and to feel like home. Although the location does not have a pretty view and is basically set in a common mixed home community next to a RV campground along the river, it was safe and very conveniently located. It was only a 15minute drive to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, or Indian River from the property. There is a local market just down the road from the property that is in the gas station that has just about everything you need if you don't want to drive into Petoskey. One of the only negatives that we had were that the walls between the two bedrooms were not very sound proof. Since the beds shared the adjoining wall, you could hear the people in the other room moving around or talking. I think just shifting the beds to opposite walls could help with that issue. Other than that, everything else was great and we would definitely stay there again if we are back in the area. Thank you for hosting us and for sharing your lovely little cabin.

Late night check in to pleasant surprise
If it's dark, bring your flash light to the lock box, and readers if ya need them. 🤣 To be honest I wasn't sure if we were pulling into the correct property at first and was a little nervous, it was the only house on that side of the street nicely landscaped and freshly cut. The inside was super clean, loved the decor, and had everything we needed for my family of 5 adults. Bedding was soft and cozy. Open concept great for gathering and cooking. Very pet friendly for indoor or outside, we regret not bring our fur family members. Close to all the great "Up North" adventures. Hiking, beach and shopping in Alanson, Petosky or short drive to Mackinac Island. Ohhh and the Dollar Store up the street is walking distance and has all your staples, +beer/ wine, minus fresh produces. Was really clean and the nicest employees. It was seriously perfect for us, easy to access, relaxing when we were not exploring. Even a little live entertainment, the kids being kids across the street, while we had some cocktails on the cute porch. If you like cozy/ comfy at a fair price. This is the place to stay. Thank you, from Leavenworth Kansas
