You will die in the kitchen!!! Well appointed with above basic items. Including seasonings.. The hosts think of everything. There is a binder that will serve as your Bible during your stay. We visited the weekend b4 Christmas, there were nice touches thst really set the mood without being intrusive or fussy. Plenty of room to stretch out. So comfortable. Close to everything, literally. My only worry is this magnificent place being fully booked the next time I want to stay! The mattresses are SUPER firm. Not a didn't like, just an FYI.

Find us

You can walk around the area of the home and on the 2 acres of property during your stay. A bonus pathway to Jones Landing beach is located just across Howard road. Please be advised that this path does require you to cross US-131 to get to the beach, via Gruler road. Photos of the pathway location are in the listing. Otherwise the area is best explored by vehicle to access the nearby wineries, just a mile away. Petoskey is a 5 min drive north and Boyne City is a 15 minute drive south East.
