In need of relaxing and a quick getaway for my 60th Birthday, this condo fit the bill and then some. After parking our car in the included garage, we didn’t drive it again until three days later. The harbor views, comfortable furnishings, quick access to restaurants, coffee shops and groceries gave us options to eat out or dine in, (utilizing the fully stocked kitchen) and made it difficult to leave “our nest” for long. LOL. Truth be told, the condo was extremely spacious, but we always found ourselves curled up in the comfy wing back chairs in the sunroom. We read, had meals there and just chilled, watching the boats come and go, and all the birds: two eagles, ducks, loons, swans, the ubiquitous gulls…we didn’t even mind the rain.
The Grey Gables for dinner was our best meal in town, and the tiny Harbor View Cafe by Olsen’s market offered one of the best breakfasts we had. We also took advantage of a great local photographer to get some candid photos. Michael Murphy IV was fabulous and his skill and personality made for a relaxing and enjoyable session. Guess what everyone is getting for Christmas? Ha! We also made time to visit two nearby parks and found our fill of Petoskey and Charlevoix stones. Mt. McSauba Recreation area is a close drive away and perfect for hiking.
We’re already thinking about coming back to enjoy the fall colors. Can’t rave enough!
