About this property
Petoskey Retreat • Stunning Bay Views • Across from Park/Marina • Walk to Town
Location truly sets this property apart. Enjoy beautiful bay and sunset views with easy access to Lake Michigan and Little Traverse Bay. Directly across from Bayfront Park, you’re just steps from the sandy beach, marina, breakwater jetty, playground, and the 26-mile walking, jogging, and biking trail—perfect for exploring or searching for Petoskey stones.
The home is also located next to Bear River, ideal for walking or fishing, and just a 5-minute stroll to downtown Petoskey’s charming shops and restaurants. Harbor Springs and Charlevoix are a short drive or bike ride away, with Odawa Casino just 2 miles up the road and year-round outdoor recreation nearby.
Our upstairs retreat is thoughtfully designed for comfort and style, featuring an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with a wall of windows showcasing stunning bay and marina views. The living area includes a queen sofa bed, smart TV with Spectrum cable, and high-speed WiFi. The bedroom, with a queen bed, is privately set apart with sliding doors.
Step outside onto the full-length, lake-facing deck to dine or unwind, complete with a table, umbrella, and lounge seating—perfect for morning coffee, relaxing afternoons, or quiet evenings taking in the view.
