Beautiful home

We had a lovely time. The home was beautiful, well kept and clean. The view and proximity to the water were wonderful. For us, the best part was the proximity to so many places- we spent time on the Lake Michigan beaches, downtown Charlevoix, a day on torch lake and a day in traverse city! After we left, one of our party left a bag with his laptop in it- the owners, even though they were not in town, were so kind and helpful in coordinating getting it back to us, so we are very grateful for that.

Perfect spot!

Perfect location to explore the area- Charlevoix, petowy, Mackinac Island, Traverse City, Gish Town, Sleeping Bear Dunes. Come back in the evening for a peaceful spot at the house! Everything you need is here. Although the water was high, it was easy to walk on the rocks and get in the water to look for stones! Highly recommend!

Lakehouse

The deck and view is amazing. What a wonderful way to wake up. We got in the water and stood on the big rock. We found a few Petoskey stones. We had Friske donuts, Dairy Grille and did many more things around Charlevoix area.

Gorgeous Views and Spacious

We had a great time at the property. It was spacious and the views of the lake were amazing. Downside is getting down to the water -the steps were steep which was not easy for smaller children or the elderly. Also the master bedroom gets very hot on warm days and the AC doesn't quite work in that room (the rest of the house was able to get cool). Definitely in need of some upgrades including some easy fixes like new mattresses, bedding. But overall we enjoyed our experience.

Great location

This house is in a fabulous location. It overlooks Lake Michigan and the area is very quiet, so you can open all the windows and let a great breeze blow through. You can even leave the windows open at night and listen to the waves and the trees rustling. (There's no AC but you don't need it with the windows open.) There wasn't any beach at the bottom of the stairs when we were there (lake levels were high), but there is an awesome beach just a half mile down the road and we built sandcastles and played in the waves. (A bit cold for me but the 4-year old loved it.) We drove into Charlevoix and walked around the wharves and shops and that was fun too.

Wonderful view

Lovely home with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. Very roomy and comfortable with all the extras you would expect (chimnea, grill, kayaks, pool table, etc). Would highly recommend staying at this home. We had only two tiny things to complain about. There was a skunk smell at night, but it could have been from the woods or several houses down, who knows. The second is the cleanliness of the kitch cabinets and floor. They were both a bit sticky and could have been cleaner. Both are nitpicky issues, and I would definitely stay here again.

Smelly House

Walking into the basement the smell of mold/mildew was overpowering! It seemed to be contained in the basement until the furnace was turned on to take the chill out of the house at which time the smell went throughout the house. Upon contacting the owner about the smell they didn’t seem surprised; rather they suggested we open a window - of which there are none in the basement. As for the beach? Well, it no longer exists due to the higher water levels Lake Michigan has been experiencing the past few years. They shouldn’t be touting an amenity that no longer exists. The house was clean in appearance though the overpowering smell made you question the cleanliness. I would not recommend.

Patrick, while we appreciate and welcome feedback, we disagree with this review. Guests before and after your stay have had no concerns regarding smells, and the home is completely free of mold. As evidenced by all other reviews, we are confident that this owner will continue to provide excellent guest communication and five-star experiences!

Comfortable stay with great views! Reason for 4 not 5 stars

We enjoyed our stay at this property very much. Beautiful views of lake ( although we had rough weather for all 5 days of our stay). Loved the open up north feel of property and we all had our private spaces to retreat to. The large kitchen table was the hub of activity through much of our stay - beautiful! The owner was very responsive to a special request we had once we were staying there. Reasoning for 4 stars and not 5 -Only negative is pricing. We booked this rental last November for an out of town extended family get a way. As time got closer to our stay, I noticed the price dropped dramatically along with the exorbitant extra fees. I contacted both property management, VRBO and owner. Did not hear back from VRBO and property management until day before we were to arrive. All would not budge on pricing. This was not what we expected, as we were not staying quite at peak season and as it got closer to peak, pricing was so much lower. I may think twice prior to booking again, even though property was very nice and ideal size - due to feeling taken advantage of.

From the owner: "We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! We do understand the concern for rates having fluctuated closer to your stay. We have a management company that modifies nightly rates based on supply and demand in the area. That said the fees are 100% transparent before any booking and the guest locks in the rate upon booking."

Thank you for the great review! We love helping guests have the best possible vacation experience. I'm very happy you enjoyed the beautiful beach just a half mile down our road and hopefully the other beaches so nearby. Our property is advertised as waterfront as opposed to beachfront so I'm sorry you were disappointed but so happy you were able to enjoy it!

Great location

The house is very nice and the location is awesome. The house overlooks the lake and there was a wonderful breeze almost all of the time. You can open all the windows and listen to the waves and the rustling of the trees. The neighborhood is friendly and quiet. There is a terrific beach which is just a half mile down the road, and there were very few people at the beach -- no crowds. We also drove into Charlevoix and walked around and that was fun too.

Great getaway for 2 families

The house was huge and had amazing views! The layout was also perfect for two families with kids -- two bathrooms and two bedrooms each on either side of the stairs on the second floor made for nice privacy, while the main living area on the first floor was spacious and great for hanging out as a group (and the kids loved playing pool and foosball in the basement while the grownups hung out in the living/dining area). House was super clean and the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, etc. Thanks!

Charlevoix stay

Nice large home with plenty of bathrooms. There were 6 of us, 3 couples who stayed here. We each had our own bathroom which was very nice. There is a large table in the dining area that can accommodate 10. The great room is plenty big for a large group and you don’t feel like you’re on top of each other. We did have an issue with the TV the first night but the hosts went above and beyond and got it fixed for us! This home is a good location if you’re headed north or down to Traverse City. There is no beach due to lake levels being high but there is a very nice beach within walking distance. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you Tracey and Jim!!

Charlevoix stay

Had a great time in Charlevoix. This house is a nice location if you’re looking to do both Charlevoix and Traverse City. There is no beach at the moment due to high lake levels but there is a nice local beach that is walking distance. The hosts were very accommodating! I highly recommend especially if you have a larger group.

Great home base for exploring Northern Michigan.

This was a magnificent, fully equipped home in which we fell in love on first visit with Northern Michigan. We loved starting and ending our days overlooking and listening to the lake from the deck, and appreciated having the use of a pair of kayaks to get out on the water as well. Given its central location we took easy day trips to Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes, Torch Lake, Charlevoix, and Mackinac Island, but also spent a great day on the local beach which was in walking distance just down the road and along which it seemed one could walk forever. At night, we enjoyed playing pool in the downstairs game room, gathering in the great room, and playing cards around a table big enough for all of us. Can't wait to come back.
