Cute House Near Lake Michigan, Bike Path, Restaurants, Ski Hills, & Shopping!

Perfectly placed on an oversized in town Petoskey lot with plenty of privacy, the Cedar House is a great getaway for backyard BBQs, bonfires, and enjoying vacation like a local! If biking is your thing, then once you arrive you can ditch your vehicle and jump on the Little Traverse Wheelway (bike path) that extends from Charlevoix all around Little Traverse Bay over to Harbor Springs (bikes & helmets provided with a signed waiver). The Petoskey State Park (beach access) is also just minutes down the bike path or it's a one block walk to catch the beautiful Lake Michigan sunsets. Head the opposite direction on the bike path and pop into downtown Petoskey for lunch and shopping. Want to walk to grab a cold beer? A local favorite, Ron's Bar & Backyard, is right next door and complete with a jukebox and shuffleboard table. This location doesnt get any better!

This adorable 4 bedroom, 2 bath cottage is freshly updated and ready to provide a relaxing vacation with its clean presentation and simple decor. Enter through the front door into a cozy living area which is great for watching TV, playing games, or enjoying drinks. The large dining room table is also a great place to gather around for meals or puzzles. Do not miss the cute coffee nook to grab your morning cup of energy. The kitchen appliances are all brand new as well! The main level also offers two cute bedrooms and one fully updated bathroom. Upon taking the steps upstairs onto the beautifully refurbished wood floors, you will find two more bedrooms and another updated bathroom. The spacious primary-like bedroom offers a king bed, modern bedside lighting and small desk area. Walk down the hall to the second bedroom with bunk beds - great for kids, but could also be suitable for adults as the bunks are full-size beds. The bathroom, which sits between the two bedrooms, is designed with clean, white tile and modern brass fixtures. This charming cottage is in the middle of the action, yet with an abundance of privacy!

Beautiful Up North Property
The communication with the property management was great. They regularly check in before and during your stay. They even confirm when the house is ready for check in This was the cleanest VRBO I have stayed in. It was absolutely spotless. Nice full kitchen, sizable bedrooms, and two wonderful bathrooms. I loved the bunk bed setup with the TV in the room for the kids The backyard is great. A nice bonfire pit and Cornhole. Plenty of room for kids to run around and play. Not far from a walking and bike path that will take you right into town. We will definitely come back!

Great house, close to Lake Michigan
The house was great! We are a family of 7, and the house was absolutely perfect. Could have easily had room for a few more people. The yard was an absolute dream for the kids to play in and was absolutely a respite. We had a fire every night and most mornings! The bikes were enjoyed by all! And we really appreciated the local jams upon arrival.

Absolutely Perfect!
Everything about this stay was great. I’ve never taken the time to leave a review, but this place definitely deserves one. The property management couldn’t have been better! They were so courteous and checked in prior to our stay- they even sent a link to the weather forecast for our upcoming trip! We only encountered one very minimal issue with the keypad upon entry, and they showed up immediately to help. Unbeknownst to me, my brother in law reached out as he thought the batteries to a tv remote were low, they showed up on a weekend with new batteries! They truly went above and beyond. The property itself was adorable, decorated perfectly, and truly felt like home. We can’t wait to visit again! As a family who used to have a vacation home in Harbor Springs, we were very particular about our rental. We are very grateful for a wonderful stay, thank you!

Plenty of room
We had a very nice stay at the property. It’s located a short drive from downtown and 15 minute drive from two nice ski resorts. It’s close to a grocery store, which is an added bonus when you’re feeding 5 teenagers. Enough bed/bedrooms for our entire party to sleep comfortably. Kitchen is equipped with essentials and suitable for making meals.

Cedar House
The Cedar House was well maintained and very cozy. It has a great backyard for outdoor games and includes a grill and fire pit. It was walking distance to the lake where you can find Petoskey stones and other fun rocks. The location is close to restaurants and the Petoskey downtown shopping area . We would definitely come back again!

A wonderful stay
The house is beautifully designed with very thoughtful amenities, and is even better than what the pictures show. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us to move around, and all sit at the dining room table and living room together. It is hard to find rentals that will seat as many as it sleeps. The beds were very comfortable, bathrooms nice, kitchen was well stocked, and plenty of room to park 4 cars off the street. The sidewalks and parking were well shoveled as it had just snowed, much appreciated. We were here to ski, but the back yard is big, private, and would be lovely to use in the warmer months. We will definitely keep this on our lists of places to stay in the future!

This house was well appointed. The updates were done well, while leaving the charm of the house. The furniture and beds were very comfortable, and it was awesome having access to a washer and dryer. The kitchen had all the cooking items we needed. The location is very convenient to all local attractions. We would definitely stay again!

We have been coming to Northwest Michigan for our ladies golf trip for 20+ years. We booked this at the last minute and were pleasantly surprised! It has a great set up for families although we didn’t need those amenities. We enjoyed our stay!
