The house was clean, modern and well furnished. It could easily accommodate 6 people. We chose it because we brought along our 10-month old puppy and the fenced in yard made that easy. Everything was conveniently close. We had a very pleasant stay.
This house is a beautiful, comfortable place to stay, located in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk from the lake. We really loved staying here, and loved Alpena, and can't wait to return.
We visited Alpena for work and, instead of staying in holtes, we stayed in this house. It was comfortable, well stocked, and clean. It worked out great for us.
Excellent property! Very clean, comfortable and dog friendly. Love being able to stay here with my pups and will do it again. Very quiet area and nice neighbors that shoveled the sidewalk and driveway after a big snowstorm. :)
Our family enjoyed our stay. My 8 yr old niece loved it and can’t wait to go back. We walked to the bay view park got coffee and snacks at Bigby coffee then explored the quaint city. We wish we could have stayed longer.
This home is nicely decorated, clean, and conveniently located in town. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and owners went far above with the extra touches. A lot of thought went into making sure renters have a super experience. We didn't have children with us, but kids could be entertained in the house even on a rainy day. Our dog enjoyed the fenced yard while we relaxed by the fire pit.
We recently stayed here for a family get together and late Christmas. It quickly felt like home because of all of the touches. It is well-furnished and maintained. Lots of room to spread out and relax. The fenced in backyard was amazing for the dog!
We needed a pet friendly place where we would feel comfortable leaving our furbaby for a short amount of time throughout the day. This place was perfect with its fenced in yard! This was great for all of us and very clean! Will very much use in the future when we come back to visit family!

We loved the cleanliness, amenities, and close proximity to all the local parks amd beaches. We especially enjoyed all the little extras that the host provided. It really made us feel comfortable at their home.
My wife and I and some friends went on an overnight bike run. The house was very clean, nice location. We were able to get an Uber (Steve) to dinner and back and had a very nice time.
We loved our stay here! We were looking for a quiet getaway during the last week of summer break, and this was the perfect spot. The house was conveniently located--we loved walking to the small beach just a few blocks away, and nearly everything else we wanted to do was within five-minute drive. The house itself was very pleasant, and our dogs enjoyed the spacious back yard. We will definitely be back!
This is an adorable cottage in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Excellent location, close to downtown and the beach. Perfect for us, with a fenced in yard for the fur baby. Nice amenities, including condiments, spices, coffee and tea provided in the renovated kitchen (loved the blue cabinets!). Our daughter lives in the area, so we will definitely be back.
I travel to Alpena a few times a year for work. This time, all of the local hotels were booked!! I reached out to Jennie for a last minute, late check in. Her responses were timely & friendly! Check in was a breeze! Can't wait to use this location again, for family fun!
It was very clean and inviting and we enjoyed our stay. Our Granddaughter enjoyed the little goodie basket! She is 2yrs old and had fun running around and climbing the stairs, we assisted her on the stairs. Safety 1st. We would stay again.
It’s definitely an old house but has been updated nicely. The house was clean and comfortable with thoughtful touches like extra toiletries, laundry soap, etc. We loved being able to bring our two chocolate labs along and the fenced yard made it really convenient. Our kids loved having their own rooms with TVs. One bathroom was a little challenging with a family of 4, but we made it work. It was certainly more comfortable and spacious for 3 nights than a hotel, and probably not much more expensive, either. The location is really convenient and close to everything in town. We will definitely stay here again when traveling to Alpena!
