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! ##### Sara B.

We had an easy ride to Petoskey and walk to the lakefront. We drove to Harbor Springs for a morning trip one day, and Mackinac Island for a day trip, and the location was perfect for reaching both of these destinations comfortably! We already want to go back. ##### Elizabeth G. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie M. 14 May 2024 #### HIGHLY recommend!!!

The house was clean, so cute and cozy for our group of 6\. We could walk to petoskey, rode the bikes on the trail along the lake, and blocks away from the grocery store (and Starbucks ;)).

Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at this cozy home, situated between two areas we enjoy skiing. It was the perfect place to crash for the evening after a long days on the hills, enjoy some great food and play some games. The hot water was wonderful and endless, towels were thick and absorbent, traditional and cup coffee makers were provided, basic seasonings and coffee filters as well, and the beds and bedrooms were all wonderfully comfortable. If this owner has the chance to include a ladle and a larger soup-style pot those would be our only tiny recommendations. ##### Abigail M.

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! ##### Jen V.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If this house went up for sale, I'd buy it tomorrow. It was thoughtfully and stylishly provisioned, impeccably clean, and perfectly located for our trip.First, the inside. The furniture was comfy, including the beds, and the bathrooms and kitchen were wonderfully provisioned with quality linens and cooking gear. (Next time, I'll arrive with foil, parchment, and a sauce pan, but that's about it!) The fun, stylish decor made things feel special.Outisde, an enormous fenced yard and cedar trees provided much privacy and quiet. (We did have a bit of noise on the weekend from the bar patio nearby, but we were outside partying, too!)The fire pit, 2 picnic tables and \*bikes!\* meant everything we wanted was there.The sleeper component of this property is its close proximity to a small public beach with amazinggggg sunset views and Petoskey stones galore! (IYKYK) Also, it's on the bike path that rims the bay and very close to the Victorian cottage district of Bay View.It's closer to Petoskey, but also an easy jaunt to Harbor Springs and beyond. GREAT communication and customer service when we had questions. WE WILL BE BACK.

Reviewer Comments: We had 5 women from our family staying at Cedar House as a launch point for exploring the area. It was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room with its 4 bedrooms. We enjoyed lounging in the living room. Everything we needed was right where we expected it. The property is a couple miles outside of downtown and close proximity to the bay (we thought it would have a direct view of the lake and be closer into town, but that’s probably our fault for not reading carefully). Also I’m sure that’s why the house felt so reasonably priced. Although the house is directly adjacent to a bar, we felt safe. The bike supply is AWESOME. The bikes seem brand new and there are plenty of them in a variety of sizes. Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan was proactive and responsive in their communication. They helped us get the battery changed in the door lock very quickly when it died and let us know when the property was ready early on the day of our arrival. Very professional and kind.Northern Michigan is a delight - we are all from other parts of the country so we loved the fall colors, countryside and coastline. An easy, beautiful drive got us to Mackinaw City where we were able to take the ferry to Mackinac Isla nd for a day trip. We returned along the Tunnel of Trees. We also explored downtown Petoskey - our favorite shop we the American Spoon, and it was fun to see the Kilwins factory store. In Charlevoix we saw the mushroom houses designed by Earl Young. Our group’s favorite outing was the Lavender Hill Farm. The staff are so knowledgeable, the property was gorgeous even off season and the products were lovely. ##### Laura M.

Reviewer Comments: Our family loved staying at Cedar House. It was convenient to downtown - a nice walk along the lake or by the many provided bikes. We enjoyed bonfires in the backyard. The rooms were comfortable and the overall space was perfect for our group. ##### Molly S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim F. 8 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great cottage - very clean and well equipped. ##### Jim F.
