We’ve always booked Lakeside cottages This time we inadvertently booked Crooked Tree Golf Club cottage which is across the highway and very far away from the amenities of Bay Harbor. The pictures shown online during the booking process should show that these are miles away from the lake with no views of water whatsoever. It’s on a GOLF course. Not on Bay Harbor which is on the water.

Upon checking into our lakeside cottage, the temperature was 59 degrees because the heat was not working. The resort did repair the heat by about 9:30pm night of arrival. Overall the cottage was not well stocked (1 cooking pot, not enough glassware, etc) and not as advertised. We found the condition to be in disrepair with broken or rotted decking (major hazard with kids), moss and mold, poorly repaired drywall, etc. The Inn at Bay Harbor has a fantastic location and nice amenities but we were disappointed the quality of the accommodations especially for a place describing itself as a AAA 4 Diamond property. More in line with a budget brand hotel.

We had a great time at Crooked Tree Cottage. It was by the golf course rather than the water, but was nice and quiet and enjoyable. We had another couple with us who enjoyed themselves as well. It was nice to have separate sleeping areas and bathrooms for each bedroom. Would love to go back next fall.

i would recommend some instructions on how to use the TVs. We were able to figure out the great room TV, but not the bedroom. Simple instructions may have been helpful. Also would suggest a list of reminders on what the rules of the cottage are such as how do we leave it when departing. We had plans for each day, but would have been interested in other local attractions that may have been helpful. Guess everyone is expected to use the internet, but sometimes suggestions are helpful. Thanks for a wonderful fall experience.

After we checked in, we were able to enjoy ourselves in Petoskey and the surrounding communities. Our check in was 5 hours late because the cottage wasn’t cleaned. We were given vouchers for drinks but we still waited too long. The cottage wasn’t cleaned well and it’s obvious that routine maintenance hasn’t been done in the last few years. We had a great time but it wasn’t because of the cottage. In my opinion, a hotel shouldn’t book a room that they don’t have the staff to maintain.

We loved Petosky & walked many miles on the trail by the cottages & in town. They have a really neat shopping area over by the marina.

This was a great experience for hosting a family get together for my son’s 2nd birthday and keeping Covid-19 social distancing guidelines. We haven’t been able to see our family in over a year due to Covid-19 restrictions. The Cottages at Bay Harbor allowed family members to come up and stay in their own cottage to keep with social distancing guidelines. The outdoor patio space gave us space to interact safely while masked and the proximity to Boyne Resorts allowed the family to spend time snowboarding, skiing and snow tubing safely. The kitchens were great because we went grocery shopping and we’re able to cook meals for everyone to enjoy. We loved our stay so much that we’re planning to make it an annual family tradition! The kids also really enjoyed the outdoor hot tub and walking alongside Lake Michigan which was directly outside our lakeside cottage was a treat. Thank you Travelzoo for a great deal! This was the easiest birthday celebration to plan and this busy mom definitely enjoyed soaking in the large tub while her toddler spent time with his cousins outdoors.

The Beds and pillows were great!but we found the Crooked tree cottage we rented was in need of some basic upkeep maintenance issues though. It Seemed a bit tired and neglected. Bad squeaks in floors the sliding doors didn’t shut so wind whistled through. We put a papertowel in it to stop the sound. The one Shower head was clogged and spraying out rather than down. The carpet and wood floors were approx 20 years old and needing to be replaced! It was spacious and worked for our family but could be improved aesthetically and with a few maintenance improvements.

1. ordered dinner from their restaurant, $40 -$50 meals each. Curbside pickup and a 5 minute drive back to the cottage. Both cold enough that they required a microwave zap.
2. Smoke alarm began chirping sporadically at 2 am. Called the front desk and there was no answer. Called again and was told that someone was heading over. The front desk guy showed up. Angry because he had to go and not the maintenance staff. Could not figure out what to do to stop it. Asked if he could simply unplug it. I was not comfortable with that. He replaced the battery and it appeared to fix it. He left and within minutes after his departing, it began chirping again. It was now 3am. Since the alarm was hard wired, I pulled the battery out and we could finally go to sleep.
3. the gas fireplace did not work upon our arrival. Called front desk and a maintenance guy came over. Within a few minutes, he had it running properly.
4. There was a large construction project going on right behind our unit during the day. Found out about that upon arrival. Suspect that was the reason for the great room rate.
5. Spoke to the manager about the issues and he was aware of the smoke detector issue however was surprised to hear that the maintenance staff had not returned the next morning to replace the battery.
He kindly offered to provide us with a $100 credit for the poor meal.
It seemed that from the time we arrived there was always something going wrong.
The bed mattress needs to be replaced in 621. A big dip in the center of the bed.
We weren't able to close the blinds on the top part of the window on the west side of the unit because there wasn't any. I mention this because we saw the next door person in the upper unit looking into our living room one evening. When they saw us look at them, they turned off the light.

The cottages definitely need more towels and washclothes. If it is supposed to service 8 people, we should have 16 of everything. We were told we would have to wash the towels ourselves at check in. Then housekeeping showed up and brought us towels every day. Not sure check in folks know what goes on at the cottages. Also, found a water bottle behind a night stand and a sock under the bed upstairs. Guess when they clean, they don't get behind things or clean under the beds

We rented a 3 bedroom cottage, which was on the second floor of a large dwelling of 4 "cottages" on a street of many cottages. I'm sure the staff would have helped us with our luggage, if needed, but if stairs is an issue, make sure to ask for a 1st floor cottage. View of Little Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan from most windows. Gorgeous area of MI.
We brought breakfast items so enjoyed a leisurely AM which was GREAT!

We had 2 condos rented between two couples. Cottage 705 had a ping pong table so we want to rent that cottage again as that was a big plus. Only comment is that the dinning room furnituare needs to be replaced in both unitls. It is scratch up and the chairs are very wiggley and unstable. Also there is a hole in the wall behind the extra dinning room chair in unit 706 to the left of the fireplace that should be repaired. It could be a result of your unstable chair but hard to say. We just saw it while we were there.

We were upgraded to a beautiful 3 bedroom condo near the water. It’s unfortunate that there was only 2 of us to enjoy the experience. It is a great self-contained facility. Due to weather conditions we were not able to enjoy the outside amenities offered - biking, hiking, pool/whirlpool. There is a shuttle to take you downtown Petoskey which eliminates any parking issues.

Stayed for a family reunion. The cottages were perfect with 4 families in their own cottages. The location was perfect with lots of local activities. I’d go back in a hot second just to rock on the porch and take in the view.

Amazing staff and check in. The grounds are postcard perfect. The cottages had everything you need if you feel like cooking and the beds were amazingly comfy. Housekeeping came by every morning to see if you need anything refilled and are the nicest staff I’ve ever encountered

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 there was not room service. They offered to replace towels and we accepted. However, they left them on the porch and did not advise us of the protocol.

All was great except for the guy snow blowing at 7am right around the condo. It was really, really loud and would have been better to do at 9am or after. Plows in the parking lot at 3am were not much better. I get you have to plow the snow but you can time it so it’s not waking your guests up all night long.

The setting was outstanding with the Little Traverse Bay steps from the cottages. We enjoyed walking along the Little Traverse Bay Wheelway into Petoskey and a wonderful dinner at the Vintage restaurant in the Inn. The accommodation was very nice with a comfortable living room, well appointed kitchen, and great bedrooms and bathrooms.

Traveled during the fall to see the colors and fall fun. Travel during the week resulted in a few extra Covid struggles such as Legs Inn was closed on Monday. Beards was closed on Tuesday...but overall Bay Harbor was beautiful to see. Nightly s’mores were offered at a bonfire near the bay. The flowers and landscaping were awesome. Rooms were comfortable and used the fireplace for cozy evenings.

My adult daughter who has cerebral palsy travelled with me. I was unaware of the 2 sets of stairs (18 steps each) to enter cottage and 2nd story bedrooms. It was more of a 2nd story condo, not a cottage. No where on website did it indicate so many stairs were involved. Handicapped parking was not close by either. Bay Harbor offered a room at double the cost.

It needs deep cleaning as they seem to wipe bathroom & not scrub sinks & etc. More daily service other than brining in extra towels.

My husband and I rented a large three bedroom and brought our children and grandchildren.
The location is wonderful if you are planning on spending time in Petoskey and charlevoix.
The cottage made for a perfect base camp for when the little ones needed a nap or some play time.
The cottage was well equipped with everything you needed to make a meal etc
