Glad to see you and your family having a great time on property. It’s always nice seeing boats docked up to the docks and people having a blast on the each. Also glad you were able to use the boat launch across the narrows. Hope to see you all next summer. Thanks again.

Great Family Vacation

Nate was a great host. Very responsive. Area was beautiful and his property was expansive. We rented all three houses. The volleyball net was great for the kids. Very short walk to the lake. Ferry to the Landing was also convenient.

Beyond expectations

This unique property was ideal for our 17 family members. Great location. We went to Petosky, Harbor Springs, Mackinac Island, and Traverse City. When we stayed home we enjoyed beautiful Lake Charlevoix on Nate’s lovely beach. We particularly liked the Zen Garden, playing croquet and roasting marshmallows in the fire pit. Nate is a fabulous host!

A dive back into the past

We had maximum occupancy. The children had so much to do outside with games we brought and bikes as well as lakefront. The houses are retro and appliances work. To be fair the bathroom showers are small but function. We were told well water and brought our own due to strong iron content . The mattresses need upgrading . Any issue was addressed ASAP by Nate. We only slept and fixed meals in the homes. We enjoyed each other and love being outside, the lakefront is a short walk but that was good so no one strayed into lake . We created many memories . Thanks Nate

It is very old! WiFi questionable. Big house was okay, loft house has very small spiral staircase to loft which is okay if you’re 12. Guest house should not be rented. Bathroom is SMALL. Read sit sideways on a rocking toilet. Shower questionable. Again, property is OLD. The sandy beach shown in the photos was not seen. Walk to beach across a busy street. Not close. Beach furniture is OLD. Zen garden is not close to houses, 10 minute walk. Didn’t use it. Nate responded quickly to request for firewood. A/C was a couple small window units that did blow some cool air but house got pretty hot. Docks were unsafe. Plumbing issues in two houses. Loft had major sewer gas issues. Faucet handles were broken. Well water is very rusty. No dishwasher or laundry. Grills also were OLD. Clothes in closets, game room locked. Dressers used for wallpaper storage. And clothes. Grounds were nice. It is possible for older homes and amenities to be pleasant if well maintained but that isn’t the case here. Porch stairs had no railing. If I had paid half as much I would be more accepting of conditions.

First off i’d like to thank you and your family for booking. In the listing I do state that it is a farmhouse. Yes it is old. Beautiful and historic. I also state that there are no dishwashers or washer and dryer due to the fact I am on a well and septic system. Well water is common up here on the lake. That’s why I provide bottled water for all my guests. It’s nice when the family can all get together and do dishes.. I grew up doing that with my family. Brings everyone together. I’m glad you took me up on my offer on taking your linens and towels to the laundromat mid week, as I do for all my guests if needed. WiFi is spotty in the middle guest house, yes, but the 2 main houses each have their own separate WiFi that works flawlessly. 5g also works great throughout the entire property and acreage including the zen garden… yes, a 5 minute walk down the manicured path through beautiful nature to get away from it all. How could you not love it back there with the lights, sound system, hammocks and swings in the trees? I’m sure the kids loved it. As far as sewer gas smell- That was never brought to my attention. I’ve never had septic issues. You and your family and friends are totally welcome back next year. Try out the zen garden, take a few breaths, relax and enjoy what the property has to offer.

Great Time

This property was great for our large group. 17 people fit just fine. Nate is an excellent host and always was available when help was needed. Property was well taken care of. Great location just off the lake. We would go again!!
