The view is absolutely worth the trip to Petoskey! Sitting on the porch and taking in that view was my favorite part of the trip. Our kiddo loved how close the water was so that he could go rock hunting as often as he wanted. The town is super close and we loved being able to walk there and grab another cup of gelato anytime we wanted. :) The paved trails that you can access right in front of the house are amazing for walking and biking. The views from those trails are exceptional. The second floor of the house was perfect for us. The bed was comfy and the pull out sofa was nice as well. All the utensils, pans, plates, etc. that we needed for cooking dinner were there. The place was very clean and it was quiet, so I can't really find anything about it that I would change. It was the perfect trip and we were sad to leave. We are already looking at dates for next year to visit again. It was the exact trip we needed to decompress and relax before the kids head back to school. Would highly recommend!
