A great place to stay
My husband, son, daughter-in-law and I were able to get away to Alpena for a few days, and what a great place this was. I had family move to Presque Isle, and this was a great location to be able to get in the car and go see them. Also not to far of a drive to Mackinac City/Bridge. Plenty of room to enjoy some family time with games, cards and a lot of laughing. We were able to take our dog and not have to worry about the expense of boarding him while gone. I would highly recommend this place for a great get away.

So comfortable and clean!
My husband and I took a trip to Alpena because we had never been there before and we are looking at places to move farther north. The house was well appointed, clean and comfortable. The hosts are very easy to do business with. We had a small issue in that we forgot to mention our dog was coming with us. The host was very gracious in our conversations about this oversight and we worked it out quickly. Additionally, they are more laid back than some hosts. There weren’t signs posted everywhere with rules to follow. Instead they provided a notebook with their expectations and helpful information about the house and the location. We would definitely stay here again should we return to the area.

Great stay
Everything was as advertised, beautiful home, plenty of sleeping arrangements. Location is perfect for an easy walk around downtown. Homeowners are very responsive and polite. Will definitely be coming back. Alpena is a surprisingly "big" small town with lots to offer for everyone.

Even better than the pictures show!
Not very often do properties exceed my expectations but this one sure did! Very cute and homey with well-appointed amenities and a great location. Truly had everything we needed and felt just like home. Jennie is a fabulous host and even allowed me to move my date out a few weeks because I came down with Covid. Would definitely stay here again!
