Family Vacation

This was exactly what we were looking for: lovely, updated home; surrounded by trees; sitting on the lake with a lovely beach; and on a quiet, secluded street. Owner was helpful and responsive to any queries. But mostly, our family (two adults and three teenagers) had a relaxing, peaceful, and enjoyable vacation.

Fantastic Lake House

What a wonderful home, everything promised and more! Extremely well kept, very cozy & the sunsets were beautiful! Lots to do in the area, but sitting down by the Lakefront was most relaxing! We are looking forward to another trip in the near future!

Perfect rental for families

This was an amazing rental house for our family which included multiple ages and interests! We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen, firepit, proximity to area attractions and necessities! It was an easy place to relax, with plenty of space for three households to spend the week together under one roof! The owners were friendly and responsive when we had questions, and made the whole process easy and enjoyable!

Beautiful view

It is a beautiful house and the view. We really enjoyed staying there good location. Was pretty windy when we was there so didn’t get to enjoy sitting out by the lake. We went up there for my niece wedding at castle farm. But if we get a chance to go up there again, we would rent the house again. Can’t say enough about the view.

Beautiful house with a great view

The house if beautiful, close to the beach with direct access, well stocked with things like towels for showers, blankets on the beds, pillows. There were plenty of fans for the rooms since there is no air conditioning, we brought extra our own as well. The only down side was the fruit flies.

Work-horse of a kitchen, a living room with those amazing sunset views (!!!), comfy bedrooms, fun backyard, and the private beach! Truly can’t say enough.

Perfect nature lover's getaway

What an ideal spot to enjoy the charms of northern Lake Michigan! It is perfectly situated to sightsee in Charlevoix and Petoskey and/or to find solitude exploring the many interesting preserves and natural areas of the Grand Traverse region…if you can bring yourself to leave the cottage. We brought a canoe and kayaks and discovered delightful beaches on the nearby shore with intriguing history and geology. The water in the Bay is crystal clear; it was like paddling through wavy glass. Watching a porcupine nap in a tree at the edge of the yard and savoring sunsets and starlight around beach campfires were other highlights. Everything is exactly as presented in the listing – clean and comfortable with many thoughtful touches provided by the owners. We’ve rented several northern Michigan cottages and family members from 5 to 65 were enthusiastic about both the home and the lovely location.

Beautiful stay! Lovely home

We enjoyed a long weekend stay at the home which was perfect in size and space for our family of 9, comfThe sunsets all nights we were there were amazing. The beach is lovely, though rocky in the water. Bring water shoes if you want to swim It was private, relaxing and the kitchen was well appointed. (The dishwasher was broken so that made for a lot of dishwashing as we ate our meals at home. She apologized, but I specifically rented a place with a dishwasher Couple irritating things. Detached garage was full of trash from previous guests. No beach towels at the beach house. Luckily, we brought some. TV was old and tiny. Not what one would expect for such a lovely and expensive rental.
Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 5 Oct 2024
As for trash-we assume all renter adhere to our pick up days but unfortunately not everyone does and there was a large party there right before you. Our pick up day is Friday and you came in right after. As for dishwasher-we have never in 7 years of owning that dishwasher had an issue. And the renter after you did not have issues. So it was likely user error. Technology/appliances can be tricky but there was nothing I could have done differently. I had handy man advise me which I sent to you and tried to troubleshoot. But again, no issues before or after so likely user error. As for TV-we find most of our renters don’t care that much for TV and come to us to get closer to nature and family. With the multitude of windows showcasing the outdoors/lake there is no wall to put a huge tv. The pictures on vrbo show the living room and tv so people should see it an understand what they are coming to and choose their rental carefully according to their personal needs. We are sorry you were disappointed in a few things but hope your family time was amazing.

Great stay

We booked this house as a last minute family vacation. Carrie, the owner, could not have been more helpful with suggestions and advice. She was always quick to respond to any of my emails and texts. The property was perfect for our small family of 4. Two boys, 5 and 3. We spent every morning and evening on the beach. The beach toys in the shed were perfect. We searched for Petosky stokes, make rock castles and watched the sunsets. The house is located in a darling little neighborhood, 15 mins to downtown Charlevoix, and 50 mins to Traverse City. We took advantage of the location and went on daily Michigan adventures. The house was very clean, the kitchen had everything we needed. I was worried about no air conditioning but the basement stayed cool so we slept down there. Had we slept upstairs we would have had to use the fans. Overall, I recommend this property to all ages. It’s like a secret slice of heaven.

Wonderful stay!!

I was really kind of torn about writing this review. This place is amazing and I really didn't want anyone else to find out about it so that we could keep booking it. In the end, I decided to not be selfish. My family has stayed in quite a few places on Lake Michigan, but this place is the best yet. I have a 4 year old and and 8 month old. So, of course with the 8 month old I was concerned about how clean it would be since she crawls everywhere. That is really the first thing I noticed when I walked in, just how clean it was. It was kept up the way that we would keep a place up if we had a lake house. This is a really great place to go if you have kids. There are lots of toys and games already there, which my 4 year old LOVED! The pack and play and the high chair were big bonuses for us as well. It was really nice not having to pack those. This place just had everything we needed. The yard is also pretty private, which is nice. Most places on the lake have long, crazy staircases to get down to the beach, but not this place. It's just a short flight down and you are right on the beach. There are tons of rocks down on the beach and we found the best Petoskey stones right there. Oh man, and the sunsets...I can't even explain how beautiful they are. The only bad thing I can say is that the bed in the room my husband and I picked was not very comfortable, but there are plenty of other beds to choose. So, I think next time we would just sleep in a different room, which is fine. All in all, this place is wonderful and we are already planning our trip for next year.

Thank you so much for the review! We are so glad you liked the house and property. As for the bed, it is so hard to cater to everyone's needs-some like soft, some prefer firm etc. We are glad you switched and found a comfy resting place 😊
