I adore the managers and I like that this option exists for long term motel rentals when needed, especially since housing is so difficult to find in the area.

The staff are incredibly nice, and rooms are relatively cheap, especially if you want to stay for a few weeks. Just keep in mind the kind of establishment it is - other guests come from a number of places, and are staying long term for one reason or another. Also, walls are very thin.

Petoskey Housing market is so bad that the coach house does weekly rentals. Comes with a bed cable tv WiFi big dresser mini fridge and freezer microwave and open floor plan for activities. Great place to stay til the next apartment/house opens up in your price range for a longer term residence. Watch out for the cop looking guy with the cowboy hat. Don’t make him mad.

This is an older hotel but the management is one of a kind! The location is number 1! You can walk to right to the water and enjoy the beautiful Bay View house along the way. NICOLE and her family will make you feel right at home.
