Dog Friendly|Fenced|Full Kitchen|Firepit

Our party of 8 adults and teens had plenty of room to sleep, lounge, eat, and play in this rental. The kitchen is well appointed and everything was sparkling clean! Parking is a breeze and the neighboorhood is quiet and walking distance to lots of Alpena fun!

Alpena is a quiet, welcoming town, and this home is in a safe, friendly neighborhood that is great for walking with the dog. It’s about a 10-minute walk to Thomson Park Beach on Lake Huron, which has dog-friendly areas. Starlite Beach is a little farther away and was busier during our visit, but it offers a splash park and public bathrooms.Rockport State Recreation Area is a 20–30 minute drive north and has Devonian-era fossils you can collect, while Negwegon State Park is about 30 minutes south with a beautiful, undeveloped shoreline that’s perfect for hiking and beachcombing. Both parks are dog-friendly.The house is updated, exceptionally clean, and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and thoughtful extras that made our stay more enjoyable. The fully fenced backyard works well for dogs of all sizes. The host was quick to respond to any questions.Guests should know that the upstairs has low ceilings and firm beds, so taller guests may prefer the downstairs bedroom. The house does not have central air conditioning, and the window units can be noisy, but in early August we found nights cool and breezy.We enjoyed dinner at Mango’s, the free NOAA Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary museum, and a glass-bottom boat tour on Thunder Bay. There are both Aldi and Meijer nearby for easy grocery shopping. If we visit Alpena again, we would gladly stay here a second time.

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.

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.

Communication with the property owner was fantastic! Jennie kept us well informed, and always answered my messages within minutes. The property was very tidy, and had everything you can think of. Large selection of kitchen cooking/eating utensils, lots of extra linens/towels, and so tastefully decorated; it felt like being at home! The upstairs ceiling is quite low (my 6\'1" son\'s head touched the ceiling and all of us had to duck to go up or down the stairs), but the owner is up front about that in the listing, and even has reminder signs at the house. The house has two window air conditioning units; one in the kitchen on the main floor, and another in one of the upstairs bedrooms. The house also had box fans we used, as well as two ceiling fans on the main floor. My daughter was uncomfortable in the upstairs room without the air conditioner, so if you like it cold while you sleep, this may be an issue. Everyone else in our party was fine. I will say, this is one of the best rental properties I\'ve ever stayed at. You don\'t get a better host than Jennie!

We had a nice time, enjoyed cooking out and campfire.very relaxing

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.

It’s definitely an old house but has been updated nicely. The house was clean and comfortable with thoughtful touches like extra toiletries, laundry soap, etc. We loved being able to bring our two chocolate labs along and the fenced yard made it really convenient. Our kids loved having their own rooms with TVs. One bathroom was a little challenging with a family of 4, but we made it work. It was certainly more comfortable and spacious for 3 nights than a hotel, and probably not much more expensive, either. The location is really convenient and close to everything in town. We will definitely stay here again when traveling to Alpena!

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!

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!

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. :)

Super clean. Pictures were perfectly accurate. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Alpena

Only problem is extra warm September and unseasonably warm and humid. Two window units cooled it down but it took a couple hours.

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!

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.

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

I travel to Alpena a few times a year for work. This time, all of the local hotels were booked!! I reached out to Jennie for a last minute, late check in. Her responses were timely & friendly! Check in was a breeze! Can't wait to use this location again, for family fun!

My husband, son, and I stayed here on the first stop of our family vacation before continuing to the Upper Peninsula. The house was as advertised and just what we needed. Great location- we were able to ride our bikes into downtown. Jennie (owner) was very communicative and helpful. Would definitely stay again if we come through Alpena area in the years ahead.

The property is well set up. They truly thought of everything! It was comfortable and clean.

This home was very clean. It was very warm and inviting. The hosts were easy to get a hold of.

House is absolutely beautiful, well kept, in a great neighborhood, and perfectly located for exploring Alpena. Hosts are wonderful and truly think of every detail. Our family of 3, plus 2 dogs, loved staying here and would definitely stay again!

Great Rental. Very good communication

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.
