2 King-Rooftop Hot Tubs-Elevator-Beach Winery Golf
It was the perfect place to host a girls weekend away from the noisy city! Such a cozy and comfortable place to stay and lots to explore nearby!

Walnut:3BRTownhome/Downtown/Beach/Wineries.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this vibrant three-bedroom townhouse. Located in an older neighborhood, we found it to be very quiet and conveniently located. The beds and bedding were comfy, and the decor is very fun, especially to kick off the summer. The kitchen was fully stocked and equipped for eating in after a full day of exploring. We would gladly stay here again in the future. It was an excellent stay for our family.

Modern & Cozy Studio | Walk to Downtown & Beach
Adorable place in a convenient location. It was perfect for a short-term stay for 2 people. Very clean and well taken care of. Host was very proactive and responsive. No issues at all. I will definitely stay here again.

Downtown TC Boutique Hotel Flat 302
This place is a gem. Most comfortable towels and bedding, impeccably clean, perfect walkable location. My second time here and will definitely be back for a third next year.

Front Street Retreat
Great spot to stay!! - Love the check-in system you have with the keys. No relying on batteries! - The condo was quite lovely for the four of us. Plenty of room. - Host went out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay - providing toiletries, noise machine, etc. Incredibly thoughtful. - Check out/clean up requests were completely reasonable. Great place to stay!! Would definitely stay again on our next trip up!

Comfy, cozy place in a great location near Lake Charlevoix!

Petoskey’s “Peeks of the Bay”
We stayed at Sandy’s place for a nearby wedding, and it was beyond our expectation. Check in was a seamless process and incredibly easy. Not only is the house super spacious, it had beautiful views and a large yard. We brought our fur baby, and Sandy was so accommodating by providing leashes, bowls, toys and treats, which means a ton! We would definitely stay again. Thanks, Sandy!

Modern apt. Free parking, Steps to downtown.
Great location, walking distance into town. Parking right outside the door. Convenient.

Beautiful Log Cabin on the River with Hot Tub
This place was so nice and relaxing! One thing that we were happy about is that they welcomed dogs! We have 2, 9 month old mini poodles and this was their first adventure so having a host that accepts pets was #1 on our list. This place is way better than the pictures! We felt right at home and we loved watching the boats go by on the river! The beds were so comfy and made for an even better relaxing time. I highly recommend this place. It is very private and quiet! We saw lots of different types of birds, including a couple eagles. We knew a beaver was close by but never got to see him, only his handy work. I wish we could have stayed longer and hope to be back in the future! Thank you Donald, we soooo enjoyed your place!

Birch Le Collaboration House
The house was fantastic! An architect/designers dream Airbnb. Minimalistic and organized, clutter free with focus on the beautiful woods that the house is nestled in. The outdoor room was perfect for grilling and hanging outside with a bottle of wine.

Beachfront, Spectacular views & Close to town.
This was perfect for what we were looking for. Great amenities and a beautiful place to stay for the weekend. The beach area is great and the views of the bridge, sunsets and waterfront were amazing. Ordel is very responsive and helpful in every way. The house is very nice and has everything you need. Just a few minutes from town makes it easy to get to everything while also having some peace and quiet of your own.

Gunther’s Cottage -Nostalgic,Historic,downtown
This was probably the coolest airbnb I have stayed at. Beautifully designed, very open, well stocked kitchen, it was amazing. I love that you could purchase candy and snacks, just a cute touch. It was the perfect place for us to spend our snow days :)

Harbor Springs hilltop home.
We stayed at Cathy's place while having plans at Nub's Nob. The location was absolutely perfect. Cathy was incredibly friendly and helpful. The house was beautiful and comfortable and it truly felt like a home away from home. We would, without a doubt, stay here again when in the area.

Cozy,Relaxing getaway-sunsets,water & nature trail
Nancy was a gratuitous host. She had an anniversary note and snacks for us. Place was clean and a great quaint cabin . Quite neighborhood. Good location. Close to everything.

Cozy Condo - Near Boyne City & Lake Charlevoix
Nick's place was great. Super clean and cozy. Electric fireplace was great to have when coming in from the cold. Beds were comfortable. Had everything we needed. Would like to point out that for a person who needs a fan( other than a ceiling fan) to sleep, it was nice to see that each bedroom had a box/ oscillating fan in the closet. Might seem trivial...but it meant 2 great nights of sleep for me. 😁 . Location was great. Very close to downtown Boyne City. Cute lil up north town. 10-15 drive to Boyne Mountain. Also very easy and relatively close drive to Charlevoix and Petoskey. Great for a 1/2 day or day trip. Nick was responsive in a timely manner. All was very good. Would stay again for sure.

Golf and Sun Lovers Up North Getaway
Wonderful host and fantastic condo. Comfortable, clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. Very nice linens and towels. Location was perfect for us to access Nubs Nob and restaurants in Harbor Springs. Janine was exceptionally welcoming and responsive.

Cozy Cabin
Cozy Cabin was exactly that, including its great location. It fit our winter needs for our mini vacation perfectly with all that snow!! Lauri was pleasant to talk with as well!

The Perfect Getaway Close to TC/Sleeping Bear Dune
Everything was very, very nice. Would choose it again for sure

Burt Lake Waterfront Hideaway
My first stay in MI was perfect thanks to Dorothy. She puts in a lot of effort and care to help you plan your site seeing in the area with plenty of recommendations and directions! The place was cozy and clean, and with it being colder we enjoyed the gas burning fireplace each night. To me, this place was everything we needed and nothing we didn't in the best way. It was a great location with a beautiful view and an amazing host!

Your guide to Petoskey
All About Petoskey
Petoskey is a coastal community near the northern tip of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula that offers unrivaled views of Lake Michigan’s Little Traverse Bay and well-preserved Victorian buildings. The small town concentrates its specialty shops, restaurants, and art galleries along the lakefront. Bayfront Park, on the shore of the bay, offers shade under the green trees, and a waterfall that makes a nice spot for a picnic.
Beautiful scenery and an abundance of multi-use trails draw birders, hikers, and mountain bikers to the area. Petoskey State Park has an excellent connecting trail system, and its Old Baldy and Portage Loop is a short and easy favorite with scenic views of the lake. Once the winter snows begin to fall, you can head to one of the three ski areas nearby for downhill skiing or snowboarding. Nordic skiing is also popular, and you’ll find numerous groomed trails for cross-country and snowshoeing in town and outside the city limits.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Petoskey
This part of northern Michigan sees dramatic shifts in weather conditions from season to season, with hot summers, colorful shoulder seasons, and frigid winters. From June to August, you’ll find mild weather, with a tinge of humidity, and clear sunny days, making it the best time to indulge in outdoor recreation or rent a boat to spend time on the lake. If you schedule your visit between July and August, you can take in the Petoskey Antique Show at the fairgrounds. The foliage on the trees takes on bright autumnal colors starting in late September, and you’ll want to have sweaters and warm coats with you. While the temperatures in November and December descend below the freezing point, Petoskey comes alive during this time with holiday programs. As winter progresses, the snow cover builds, and it won’t disperse until April or even early May.
Top things to do in Petoskey
Historic Gaslight District
The Historic Gaslight District features remodeled buildings transformed into shops, restaurants, and specialty stores. If you are looking for souvenirs of your Petoskey trip, several stores in this area offer crafty decorative items. You’ll also find a series of art galleries filled with paintings and photographs made by local artists. The streets are lined with the gaslights, which cast a warm glow on the restaurant patios in the warmer months.
Petoskey State Park
Miles of trails through stands of white pine thread through Petoskey State Park, which hugs the shores of Little Traverse Bay. During the warmer months, you can take relaxing swims in the Lake Michigan waters or hunt along the sandy beach for Charlevoix or Petoskey stones — fossilized prehistoric coral — to keep as souvenirs.
Bear River Valley Recreation Area
The Bear River flows north through the center of Petoskey into Lake Michigan, running in a narrow valley lined with lush green grasses and trees. Adrenaline seekers come to the Bear River Valley Recreational Area to raft or kayak down a whitewater stream that descends 75 feet in a series of turns and steep slopes. You can also bike or wander along the paved trail that follows the river’s twists and turns.
