Only downsize was the construction noise during the week from the neighbor's property on the north (new construction framing in progress). For us an inconvenience, but when house is built, the problem goes away. Would have been nice to be given a heads-up before we arrived. Being able to bring family dog was a plus.

Great location, comfortable stay

This property was in a great location, right on Walloon Lake and a close drive to downtown Petoskey. We visited in the winter to ski, but it would be a lovely spot to stay in the summer as well. The house was well stocked with plenty of space for our family of four plus a grandparent. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Would stay there again!

Excellent location on beautiful Walloon Lake, close to upper Michigan resort towns. Property and grounds are well maintained and equipped for lakeside fun. Owner provides several boating options, a sand beach area perfect for children or adult sunning, a dock and swim platform, a lakeside fire pit and great views from the house deck and family room. My family and my mother, who turns 100 next month, enjoyed every minute.

Great time!

We had a great time! The house is super comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and the location is perfect! The cottage is located On the North arm almost directly across from Walloon CC. The best part ( in our opinion) is the amazing lawn! It’s great for all sports, our 4 adult sons and daughter in law played countless games… we would definitely recommend this property.

Spring getaway

This property is a perfect marriage of a vintage lake house with the amenities that people value today, like an updated kitchen and reliable Wi-Fi, on the shore of beautiful Lake Walloon. The expansive lawn slopes to a private beach with a shallow sandy bottom. Even with some Spring flurries, the view is great. And with Petoskey minutes away, there are dining and shopping options to suit anyone’s taste. A great, relaxing Easter weekend.
