Experience living in a tiny house!

We had a great time experiencing "tiny house living" for a long weekend. The location was great and felt secluded, with everything just as described. We especially liked having everything we needed to use the firepit in the evening. We would definitely book again!

Great & Charming Stay in Petosky :)

We had a fantastic stay in Petoskey, Michigan! The tiny-house was clean, cozy, and perfectly situated in the woods but still near all the charming local attractions. The home was well-stocked, with everything we needed to feel right at home. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure our stay was comfortable from start to finish. It was the perfect spot for a peaceful getaway, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the area!

Quiet and Away From Everything

Wife and I stayed here for our first trip to Michigan. Cute little home was just under an hour away from the ferries to Mackinac Island and about 15 minutes to Petoskey. We enjoyed the peace and quiet in the evenings and had a surprise visit from a pair of dogs.

A Tiny Treat!

Have always wanted to stay in a tiny house and this was a spotless, secluded first one! Beautifully designed and tucked away in a quiet forest with views of green pine out every window made for a refreshing weekend away despite the rain. Thank you for thinking of every detail to make our stay memorable and unique!

Perfect Tiny Getaway Home!

We had an excellent experience at this tiny home! It was just as perfect and clean as the pictures show. A lot of thought and care went into making this the perfect getaway. It’s within 15mins to downtown Petoskey, about a half hour to Harbor Springs and Boyne Mtn. We will definitely be back! Our host, Peter, was very responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend!!!

Nice Little Slice of Northern Michigan Heaven

The Northern Nest, nestled on a lovely piece of property surrounded by maples and red pines, is just as described. It’s a clean, cozy space built for a couple that doesn’t mind climbing the ladder to access the oh so comfortable bed. The combination AC/Heating unit will keep you comfortable regardless of what Mother Nature is doing. And, everything you’ll need to enjoy a lovely campfire is provided, as well. We’ll be coming back for sure.
