Fall getaway

We had a group of friends get together for a beautiful northern Michigan weekend and we found this house to be perfect. It was spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved the bonfire area on the beach and the huge table where we all played games. Close to everything we wanted to see. The only tiny issue was that the house is a bit hard to find, especially if you’re trying to locate it in the dark. We really loved our stay and had a special weekend!

Perfection

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked this house for a getaway weekend for a group of coworkers from across the country who have become great friends - but most had never met each other before. I was honored and proud to host them in my neck of the woods! The location, spacious house and multiple bed/bathrooms - without being a “cookie-cutter” hotel/condo-like experience was our deciding factor in selecting this home. This place fit the bill on almost every level - location, amenities, etc. Our only disappointment was finding out last minute that the guest house (which would have provided an extra bedroom/bathroom/space for our group) would not be available due to renovations. Other than that, it was an amazing stay. Perfection in fact! The home is BEAUTIFUL. The location is BEAUTIFUL! We thoroughly enjoyed the spacious living room/fireplace for scary movie night, the waterfront firepit was heavenly, and morning coffee/evening cocktails on the dock was the icing on the cake. Definitely looking forward to booking this place again.

Charlevoix charm

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was a perfect place to spend a week with our family! The location is unbeatable and we would not want to have stayed anywhere else! Because if its location in a no wake zone, it was always quiet and calm. The house is an older house that has been updated but still keeps its original charm. It was clean and comfortable. The best part of the house has to be the garage that has been converted to a rec room with a couch, ping pong table, TV, and darts. The kids spent a lot of downtime there! The outside is the highlight of this rental though. We spent hours playing pickleball, and when I got hot, I just jumped off the dock into the lake! The dock is huge and accommodated our boat rental well. The hot tub was relaxing and someone came to clean it midway through the week. We did not get to stay in the guesthouse since we stayed in the main house with our family, but that guesthouse seems like a beautiful retreat! I also think that the description says that very few items are provided, such as paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, etc, and maybe we had leftover supplies from a previous renter, but there were plenty of necessities! Also only a few minutes away from Family Fare and Oleson’s in case you need anything anyway! Also super close to the Landing, one of my favorite restaurants up north because of the spectacular view. Highly recommend this rental.

Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and amenities were fantastic. Perfect vacation home with direct lake access. We would recommend the property and would stay again. The Guest house had a constant musty odor and needed to be aired out daily. The stairs are a little steep at night so just have to be careful with the kids. Otherwise great location.
