We had a wonderful time. Worked great for our family of 10. Living area was large and kitchen was great. Only part I wish it had was a small beach area as we had children. I would recommend for sure.

Thank you Barbara, glad you guys had fun! We have 2 sandboxes for little ones, as you are correct, there is a boulder break wall on this side of the lake. You can check out our other property, VRBO 1502183, which has a huge beach on Lake Charlevoix.

The house was very nice. Very clean. The items to use outside could use a little attention.The canoes didn’t have plugs so they filled up with water, the paddle board needs replaced and there were no bikes to use. For what is charged for the week if you are going to advertise items to use they should be in working order or just have them. I shouldn’t have to bring a volleyball or badminton rackets, these are small items to replace.

Thank you so much for your comments. I make myself very accessible during your stay if there are any problems. I wish you would’ve let me know. If things are missing from previous renters, I’m happy to run to the hardware store to get a plug, or a ball if needed. We’ve never advertised that we have bikes, you may be thinking of another rental.

Very spacious! We traveled with another family of 4 (8 people total), and we never felt on top of each other. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. The view from the family room was incredible! Loved the play structure on the property and two sandboxes! Used the mooring ball for our boat, easy access from the launch! Overall great stay!!!

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Gerlach

Host profile image
We are a family who have loved lakefront living our whole life. We are excited to share that love and offer a great retreat for other families and individuals. We started renting our cottage down state near the Ann Arbor area about in 2009 and discovered I have a real love for hospitality. I like my guests to feel special and to have fun. We now spend our summers in Charlevoix and have purchased this beautiful home on the south arm of the lake for others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Beauty and convenience. Located so close to the water front, the views are spectacular. On a main Thruway between Charlevoix & East Jordan, it's easy to find and get to. For families with little ones I like to have a playset and beach toys and games for their enjoyment. Being right on the lake allows the parents not to have to pack anything up and go anywhere, just relax and enjoy watching the children play. For the older guests we have kayaks, paddleboard, and more. Bring your boat, or just have a drink, and get ready for a fun atmosphere while grilling and lounging on the deck.
