“Blair & Alyssa were incredibly kind, attentive hosts. Their beautiful home served as the perfect meeting place for multiple families to gather and unwind- fun and relaxing for adults and kids, alike! It is in a great location to enjoy Harbor Springs area and Petoskey. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks for allowing us to make awesome memories that we will cherish forever!” 😊
“My friends and I stayed here for a weekend trip to Nubs Nob Ski Resort, and it was absolutely perfect for it. The house had ample space for all of us, and most importantly, after a long day of skiing, the beds were comfortable. The amenities were very thoughtful (having not just bathroom hand soap but also hand lotion for the dry winters, for example), and both Alyssa and Blair were extremely quick to answer any of our questions. Highly recommend this place!”
