LOVE THE LOCATION ON THE BIKE TRAIL AND THE BEAUTY OF THE SETTING
Excellent stay. Well laid out and easy to have grown children have the space they needed. we love to ride our bikes and this property is literally on the bike trail. Loved it. Beautiful location and setting was spectacular.
Beautiful home-clean, well stocked, great location and lots of room. We spent a lot of time enjoying the view of the lake while resting from a delightful outing in Petoskey.
This property was amazing, First off Ricardo the property owner was great, very responsive with any questions we had. This house was extremely clean and very well stocked with lots of extra blankets and pillows. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to cook a meal. The art and decor in this house was stunning. We visited in the winter so I was not able to use the beautiful backyard. If youâre looking for a house that is extremely clean then this is the house to choose! 10 minute drive to Nubbs knob which we visited 2x a day for 4 days. We will definitely be booking again! Thanks again Ricardo!
Three girlfriends who needed the perfect Hallmark vacation booked this gorgeous home and had the BEST time! From the stunning art to the peaceful lake and comfy furniture - this was the best rental weâve ever stayed in. Excellent location. Highly recommend and canât wait to go back!
Clean, spacious, and well equipped home, on a wonderful lot. Evening cocktails on the patio while watching water birds enjoying their evening dinner. We will definitely be back!
Four ladies from 4 different states that make an attempt each year to gather and break away from lifeâs everyday responsibilities, found the perfect place to gather and enjoy our sisterhood. The peaceful embrace we felt in this house was more than we couldâve expected and we are so grateful to find such a unique and comfortable home! Thank you!!
It is my first time to stay at Richard's place and I definitely look forward to coming back. The house is beautiful with all of his artwork and decorations. Richard is very responsive within seconds when we have questions or need help. The house is super clean and spacious for our family. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with our family.
We very much enjoyed our stay. The house was roomy, kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything we needed, the location was convenient, and the interior decorating was stunning! We loved sitting on the patio enjoying a coffee while looking out on the lake. We would definitely come back.
House was great for our group. It was better in person than the pictures online. Richard was a fantastic host, very accomodating & paints great art! I think I found a new painting in the house everyday that I hadn't seen the day before. House was very spacious & very clean. We enjoyed Petoskey & Charlevoix. The Petoskey Brewery is literally around the block and had great food, Petoskey state park across the road (has a really great beach), downtown shopping area ,farmers market on Friday. Must go to Sunset park (10 min drive) to see the million dollar sunset, it did not disappoint! We rock hunted at Magnus park, Petoskey beach, Charlevoix beach, Fishermans Island, East park. Had ice cream & chocolates at Kilwins. Awesome mexican restaurant that we ate at twice, Mi Tequila. A really fun putt putt golf place a 3 min drive from house. There's a fire pit, we bought firewood at Meijer,15 min drive. There were spices, sugar, powdered creamer in the cabinet, a keurig & drip cofee maker. Kitchen was fully eqiupped. Had plenty of pillows & blankets & towels. Washer & dryer came in handy. The lake in back is not for swimming. We enjoyed breakfast every morning on the patio. Every room had a tv. 2nd bathroom is a jack & jill.
Only negatives: bathroom needs some hooks for hanging things, tons of goose poop in the backyard, no closet access in one of the bedrooms, door was tricky to open.
We really enjoyed our stay & I would definitely stay in this house again! Thanks Richard!
We had a wonderful time staying at Richard's home. The house was spacious and clean and nicely furnished. The back patio area has a lovely view of Mud Lake. Great location as well--easy access to the bike trail and state park. 5 stars!
The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The owner was very accommodating and helpful throughout our stay. We had some trouble opening the doors, but quickly figured it out with Richard's help. Overall a great option to allow you to explore Petoskey and the neighboring towns. We really enjoyed sitting by the pond/lake behind the house. Thank you for the hospitality!
Read reviews on how wonderful the Petoskey area is, so my husband and I thought weâd give it a try. Not only is the area as charming as the reviews we read but Richardâs house could be considered second to none in that category as well. Online pictures doesnât do this property justice. His home is absolutely incredible and not only that he thought of eveything to make our stay memorable. I even asked him if he has other properties as I would plan a vacation just to be able to stay in another one of his homes. We will definitely look him up next time we head to Michigan. Thank you so much!
My husband and I had a wonderful time. The house is impeccably clean and quite eclectic! Richard's ( the owner) art work is amazing and he is very good at communicating . It is the best VRBO we have stayed in - and we've stayed in many. We especially enjoyed the backyard - beautiful lake view, quite serene. Once you get past loving the house, the area where it is located is the best. We went to wineries, played golf, went to a live concert (Blood, Sweat and Tears if you are old enough to remember them), biked the trail that is right in front of the house, went to an art festival and just roamed around. Looking forward to going back. It's a great area with cool summer weather (back home it was over 100).
House was beautiful and very eclectic. Very clean, and great location. Richard is an excellent host. My sisters and I had a wonderful long weekend and look forward to our next visit!
Richards house was everything we could have asked for. We especially enjoyed the tranquility of the patio both morning and evening. The home is full of so much amazing art and decor. We had a great stay.
This was one of the nicest if not the nicest house that we have ever rented. It was beautifully furnished and decorated and decorated with some of the original original art by the owner. Although there was no indication that any of the art was for sale it was for sale we did by chance call the owner and we're lucky enough to have him agree to sell us one of his original pieces.
If you're going to spend any time in the Petoskey area rent this house.
The location is perfect, close to downtown Petoskey, walking distance from both Petoskey state park and Petoskey brewing. The bike trail is steps outside the front door. The house is lovely and well maintained. It was immaculate when we walked in. It has great entertaining spaces especially the lovely back patio. Even though it is close to 119 you felt like you were on a seclude lake. Communication was wonderful and prompt. We would definitely stay here again.
Richardâs home is perfect in every way. As soon as you walk in you have been transported to a home which is not only clean but has a fully equipped kitchen for plenty of meals. The bonus is the whimsical artwork EVERYWHERE and the amazing architecture of the home itself.
The outdoor seating on the lake is blissful and the location of the home is perfect.
Each bedroom and bathroom is thoughtful fully equipped with everything you need.
We enjoyed the property with another couple and will definitely be back!
