Visit to Rocksport Alpena.

The house was clean, modern and well furnished. It could easily accommodate 6 people. We chose it because we brought along our 10-month old puppy and the fenced in yard made that easy. Everything was conveniently close. We had a very pleasant stay.

Quick Getaway

This home is nicely decorated, clean, and conveniently located in town. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and owners went far above with the extra touches. A lot of thought went into making sure renters have a super experience. We didn't have children with us, but kids could be entertained in the house even on a rainy day. Our dog enjoyed the fenced yard while we relaxed by the fire pit.

Beautiful house in Alpena

This house is a beautiful, comfortable place to stay, located in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk from the lake. We really loved staying here, and loved Alpena, and can't wait to return.

Quiet, clean, great value!

Excellent property! Very clean, comfortable and dog friendly. Love being able to stay here with my pups and will do it again. Very quiet area and nice neighbors that shoveled the sidewalk and driveway after a big snowstorm. :)

Home away from home

We needed a pet friendly place where we would feel comfortable leaving our furbaby for a short amount of time throughout the day. This place was perfect with its fenced in yard! This was great for all of us and very clean! Will very much use in the future when we come back to visit family!

Great place to stay in Alpena

We visited Alpena for work and, instead of staying in holtes, we stayed in this house. It was comfortable, well stocked, and clean. It worked out great for us.

Home sweet home

Our family enjoyed our stay. My 8 yr old niece loved it and can’t wait to go back. We walked to the bay view park got coffee and snacks at Bigby coffee then explored the quaint city. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Loved By All

We recently stayed here for a family get together and late Christmas. It quickly felt like home because of all of the touches. It is well-furnished and maintained. Lots of room to spread out and relax. The fenced in backyard was amazing for the dog!

Peaceful vacation

We loved our stay here! We were looking for a quiet getaway during the last week of summer break, and this was the perfect spot. The house was conveniently located--we loved walking to the small beach just a few blocks away, and nearly everything else we wanted to do was within five-minute drive. The house itself was very pleasant, and our dogs enjoyed the spacious back yard. We will definitely be back!

Nice house, our dog loved it too

The house was great inside. From the outside pulling up it doesn't look like anything special but it was very open and pretty inside. We stayed 3 nights. We were on a northern Michigan brewery tour and was able to go to 5 from there. I would recommend this property

Cute Cottage

This is an adorable cottage in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Excellent location, close to downtown and the beach. Perfect for us, with a fenced in yard for the fur baby. Nice amenities, including condiments, spices, coffee and tea provided in the renovated kitchen (loved the blue cabinets!). Our daughter lives in the area, so we will definitely be back.
