Alanson Gem- We loved our stay at Summerside Drive! We traveled to Alanson to visit family and friends and wanted a location that would make all of our travels easy to get to. This property was just that! Easy trips to Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, Petoskey, Boyne City, Harbor Springs and so many others. The house was very clean with so many little perks that made it easy. Spices, laundry detergent, dishwasher tablets, and extra paper towels! Plenty of beach towels! We loved the bathroom towel warmers and heated floors in the primary bedroom on the first floor. Comfortable beds and soft linens. We took full advantage of the new propane grill too! Thank you for the great communication for arrival and all the updates on weather links etc.
We found this location to exactly fit what we needs for our two couples and 2 small children under 3. If we are in the area again, we will definitely look to stay here again. Cheers to a great job Summerside Drive!

Wedding in Petosky

Penny B. from El Cajon, CA recommends this vacation rental

We recently traveled to Michigan for a family wedding.... six adults and two children ( age 2 and age 6months ). The rental was perfect for us. The location and neighborhood were beautiful. Almost everything we needed for our stay was there for us. Any time we requested information or assistance, someone contacted us quickly. Instructions for checking in and out were clear. The one thing that could have made our trip easier was the communication regarding a pack-n-play for our grandson. We asked if there was one and told we would need to rent one from a local company. We decided to bring one which was cumbersome at best. When we arrived, there was one upstairs in the bedroom closet. It could have saved us transporting ours. We enjoyed the games and books left for everyone in the cute upstairs area. We would recommend this rental highly.

This was a great spot for our family with 3 adult kids. We golfed 3 beautiful courses, tubed and kayaked down the Sturgeon River, biked from Harbor Springs to Petoskey, and day tripped for golf and dinner in Charlevoix. Pick a lake and you can swim a different one all week within a 30 minute drive in any direction. Got a State Park Pass? You can go 15 minutes west to the Petoskey State Park or east to the Burt Lake State Park.

The house is on a peaceful natural area (former golf course) with a pond full of bird houses, heron habitat, and deer crossing through the backyard. It is well stocked with all your needs. The rental managers are very responsive and maintenance person, Adam, was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great resource for local spots to see.

Only reason I didn't rate a 5 on cleanliness is because I don't belive it's possible for any home to be spotless.

Would rent again when we need a week of disconnected relaxation and fun!

Stayed 4 days ending in October, 2023
We stayed as a group of seven women touring fall sights/ events in the Petoskey area. There is a grocery store less than two miles away. We divided into teams and split breakfast duties in a well stocked with tools and small appliances. Although it is VERY quiet, it is not isolated, there are other houses around. The location is about nine miles north of Petoskey, so a great home base for daily excursions. It was very clean. I might recommend bringing an extra blanket. Heated bathroom floor was nice.

Precious Moments with Family

Reviewer from Brighton, Michigan recommends this vacation rental
Stayed 4 days ending in July, 2024
We were in town for a celebrations of birthdays and a graduation. Alanson was a perfect location between Petoskey and Indian River where my family has established residence after coming here every summer for many years. Despite cold, rainy weather, there were plenty of games, toys and room to enjoy ourselves. I loved the landscape and the kitchen was well supplied with cooking and eating needs. The only thing that was difficult was taking the garbage on the last day to a place that was probably more than a mile away.
