Best Views in Petoskey with Panoramic view of Little Traverse Bay

Sunset Cottage and its unique bungalow, sits on the bluff with panoramic views of Little Traverse Bay. The sunsets are breathtaking. The house is completely renovated with all new appliances, quartz countertops, and is centrally located. You can walk to town, Bay Front Park and the Marina and all shopping is minutes away.

There's a large yard with a badminton net and a fire pit with chairs. There are two adult bikes and one Child bike available for use. (no helmets)

For fall and winter guests, Nubs Nob, Boyne Highlands and Boyne Mountain are nearby for fall color tours, great skiing and fun winter activities.

We think there's nothing worse than getting to your rental and finding the beds are sub-par. All of our beds are super high-quality with down pillows and quilts and high end linens.

The kitchen is fully stocked with all types of pots, pans, baking dishes and spices, and fresh herbs on the deck in the summer. There are two sets of dishes, and there is also a gas barbecue.

For families with kids, we have two dish sets and two booster seats.

The Bungalow is rented with the cottage as a package from Memorial weekend through October, and from November until the end of May they can be booked separately. 30 day minimum rental period. We have been forced to move to monthly rentals because of new city laws regarding short term rentals. We normally charged $875 per night, but are reducing it to $450 per night for a 30 day rental period.

Perfect Petoskey Cottage

We had a wonderful time staying here. Location is perfect for walks down to the pier and bike rides. Very close to downtown Petoskey. The large yard was great for playing badminton and we enjoyed all our meals in the patio when we could! Highly recommend.

Modern, cozy home by the slopes

We had a lovely time at Patti's rental home in Petoskey. Patti was very responsive during the check-in/out process. The home was super clean, modern, and cozy. The view to the bay was a plus! It wasn't too far from skiing and our family loved it!

Fabulous stay in Petosky!

This property is even better than the photos imply! Absolutely beautiful! Great location close to the Little Traverse Wheelway that is great for morning or evening walks. Kithcen was well stocked, fire pit, gas grill, and pretty much anything else you might need. If I happen to find myself back in this area I would not hesitate to book this property again!

Beautiful Petoskey Cottage

Highly recommend Sunset Cottage. The home is charming, very nicely decorated, comfortable beds and pillows, and a well-equipped kitchen with everything you need. Patti is a first-rate host and made sure we had everything we needed. We loved sitting out on the decks—the views and sunsets are truly remarkable. And a nice lawn for tag and badminton. We loved it!

Family/Friends Yearly Trip

We all absolutely loved this home. Loved!! The rooms were all so beautiful decorated and comfy. We all loved the views of the water and Patty left little things incase we forgot anything. The location was the best we ever had. We were close to bike trails, running trails, the pier and downtown. We walked to stores and breweries so easily. We will definitely be staying again

Perfect house for our family vacation

We loved our time in Sunset Cottage. Patti was the perfect host and the house was even nicer in person than the pictures! The views from the porch are breathtaking, especially the sunsets. It's a short walk to Bayfront park and to the downtown Petoskey shopping area. We enjoyed hunting for Petoskey stones, grilling out, playing badminton, walking the trails and around town, and just relaxing in this beautiful home. It was a short drive to Mackinaw City to take the ferry into Mackinac island. We also visited Charlevoix and Harbor Springs.

Sunset Cottage

Lovely experience. Cottage is comfortable, tastefully furnished, and thoughtfully supplied. Patti is a gracious host who responded quickly to our questions and requests. We enjoyed chatting with her husband, Andy, when he stopped by to check on a needed repair. We were also delighted by a couple of visits by a timid, but curious, doe who nibbled on the foliage lining the yard. Highly recommend this as a wonderful place to stay in Petoskey.

Awesome Property in Desirable Petoskey Location!

I cannot say enough good things about this property, which was perfect for our long weekend gathering of friends and family. The home and detached guesthouse have been recently renovated and everything is fresh and new. The beautiful guest house is an optional add-on. It is such a treat to have this option in a rental. There is a king bed with gorgeous bedding, a very attractive, high-ceilinged common area with wet bar and bar refrigerator, a lovely bathroom, and an attached porch. The upstairs showers in the main house, merit particular note. They are decadently spacious and high-end & the towels are plush. The upstairs bathrooms themselves are roomy as well. The views of Little Traverse Bay from the upstairs rooms are magnificent! The Prime bedroom has a private wrap-around balcony with both chaises and upholstered furniture, and is a lovely oasis on which to enjoy the morning sunrise, daytime sunbathing/reading or an evening cocktail. The location is ideal. We are familiar with this area of Petoskey and selected this property based on its location as much as the property itself. It is walking distance to the water, the Wheelway, the historic gaslight district, Latitude 45 for bike rentals, etc,. yet it is an incredibly quiet neighborhood. The hospital is nearby, but we only heard a siren once. We did not avail ourselves of the fire pit or the badminton net which are both on different areas of the property, but we hope to return in the future and enjoy that aspect of the grounds. Lastly, the owner is quite accommodating and communication with her was very positive. I was in Petoskey this summer for a few weeks, and she indulged my request to see the property in person on turnover day between rentals, which I greatly appreciated. I knew when I saw the place that is would be perfect for my big weekend in September. Two thumbs up on this awesome property!!!

In Love with Sunset Cottage

We loved our stay at Sunset Cottage! The beautifully renovated Sunset Cottage retains all of the charm of a 19th bungalow while having all of the modern amenities you could ask for. The owners were very responsive to questions we had in the booking process and during our stay. We were welcomed to the cottage with some local gifts and information about things to do in and around the Petosky area. The owners spared no expense in the renovation of this property and had an amazing eye for design. The downstairs has a beautiful open concept casual living space and dining area with an amazing modern kitchen designed with the gourmet cook in mind. Full laundry room, downstairs bath, bedroom and extra room with a daybed. The family room is well stocked with games, puzzles and an amazing TV we never turned on because there was so much to do in the area. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, coffee maker, tea kettle, and gourmet spices, oils and vinegars that are hard to travel with. We enjoyed cooling in the space! The upstairs bedrooms with adjoining baths are filled with natural light and are spacious and luxurious. The beds are so comfortable and offered amazing views of the bay. If this isn't enough, the house has two new porches that look out over the bay. The downstairs porch is a wrap-around that offers access from the kitchen and dining area. Comfortable seating for sitting and a full dining table and chairs. We loved enjoying our meals on the porch! Off the master bedroom is another large porch with recliners for sunbathing and spectacular views of the sunset. We were out there every night! The owners had 2 bikes available for our use. We loved the location, it is walking distance to the waterfront, Bear Creek River Trail and downtown Petosky. We did some fun day trips but in the future when we stay at Sunset Cottage, we see ourselves sticking closer to the cottage and enjoying the peace, luxury and beauty of this property. Sunset Cottage is a jewel, can't wait to return!

Wonderful vacation home for about 7 adults

My 3 brothers and their wives and myself stayed here for 5 nights in early September. It was perfect. We watched sunsets over the lake in the evening with trees in the foreground. We had plenty of room to breakfast, play cards, and visit with each other during this vacation/reunion. We enjoyed meeting Patti and Andy who live next door, who are charming.

Perfect Family Vacation

We appreciated the warm welcome gifts and advice from Patti. The house is truly lovely and the views spectacular! The kitchen is well-equipped, the beds are very comfortable, and it's easy to walk to town. We really enjoyed the decks, using the bikes on nearby trails, kayaking on Bear river, yoga in a Lavender Farm, and day trips to Mackinaw Island and Sturgeon Bay Beach. Patti is a terrific host!
