About this property

"Endless Sunsets on the Bay" Clean and cozy, walk to water.

This is the most unique property in the area. Not only is it on Lake Michigan—you can walk 170’ to the water’s edge without crossing a single street—it is also in Petoskey, just three blocks from the famous Gaslight shopping district of Petoskey where one can go to concerts, live theater and casual to fine dining. Only 50' or so from the front door is the Little Traverse Wheelway bicycle path that goes 26.7 miles from Charlevoix north to Harbor Springs with a 32 mile spur called the North Western State Trail that takes you to Mackinaw City. Also within three blocks are the local hospital, the marina, a small sandy beach, the lighthouse pier, the softball fields, the Historical Museum and the Bear River for Salmon fishing.
Views of magnificent Michigan sunsets blend from the sky into the water at the horizon, unobstructed by trees typical of views across inland lakes.
The house itself has a personality unobtainable from typical hotel accommodations with its Victorian cottage style bedroom (Queen bed), Knotty Pine bedroom (bunk beds-full on bottom, twin on top), unique ceiling fans(remote-controlled), a pass-through window between the kitchen and living room, track and mood lighting, bookshelves flanking the gas fireplace, a mini-bar, a 65" smart TV with surround sound, a huge sectional sofa (double sleeper), a twin sleeper Loveseat and the wall of windows that overlook Little Traverse Bay.

Please read the house rules. Continuing with the reservation indicates your agreement to the house rules. This property is licensed with the City of Petoskey as a short-term rental, license #24-23.

Great location, well appointed and very clean

We had a great stay. The house is very well equipped, with everything from games and DVDs to a well stocked kitchen if you decide to cook. While the bedrooms are quite small, the beds were good and the living area is spacious and comfortable. Communication was also clear and responsive. Recommend.

Another great stay!

We stay here every year because it's perfect for a small girl getaway. Walk to downtown or along the lake. Sit by the fireplace and take in the lake views, the house is always super clean and stocked with all the essentials. Thanks again for offering a wonderful space.

Thanksgiving up north

Sunset by the Bay is comfortable, extremely well equipped and super clean. We had a great view of the waves crashing over the breakwall as we relaxed all cozy by th fireplace. Wintry weather made our visit to Petoskey extra beautiful . Connie is a great host!

Excellent location and service

We came to Petoskey in October to see the fall colors. This location was perfect for walking and for driving to all of the fall color tours. The unit is very clean and comfortable, containing everything you need.

Cozy Gem

Perfect for any time of year, we were here for freezing cold and half foot of snow for a family ski weekend. Very well kept, cared for. Beautifully renovated. Large kitchen and living room area could seat 10 easily, huge TV and surround sound, well appointed lighting. Beds are comfortable, but bedrooms and master bed are small. The lower bunk being a full bed allowed us to stay with a younger child for bedtime. Constance was welcoming and helpful. Basics like laundry detergent and kitchen items you may need are there already which was wonderful with a young family. We hope to return to this haven.

Ideal

This place has really earned a glowing review. We had every amenity you could ask for including laundry & dishwasher detergent, spare towels, close extra parking, beautiful views of the water with convenient access to bike/walking path, bonus kitchen supplies, and quality household items that all actually worked. The list could go on and on. And I feel like this is the first VRBO I’ve ever really desired to return to and make another trip around.

Great Rental

Location was prefect, walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Extremely well equipped and quite possibly the cleanest and most organized rental we have ever had. My only complaint (if I had to give one) would be the bedrooms are very small and the queen bed was really squeaky. We would definitely rent this property again.
