Family Get-away

The home and yard are spacious and property manager was very responsive. Understand the home is on the water but there were so many spiders and spiderwebs it looked as if it had not been cleaned recently or very well. Photos need to be updated. Deck and swing set are much older than appear. The sand photo looked to me as a sandy beach. It is not. It is a sandbox.

2024 Family Vacation

The family really enjoyed our annual vacation this year. The house was in a wonderful location on Lake Charlevoix and my son was able to moor his boat very close to the house dock. Many sand toys, wonderful playset and yard games too. Loved the sandbar to relax and "The Landings" to dock the boat for a great lunch/dinner. The nightly bonfires were wonderful roasting smores. Very child friendly for our 3 year old granddaughter. Exceeded our expectations. Yes, there is some street sound in the front of the house, for two bedrooms but just bring a couple sound machines which other VRBO guests advised, and it works well. Sandy was a great host - thank you on behalf of our family!

Perfect Getaway

Kid friendly Lake getaway

Our kids (two 2 yo, and two 4 yo) loved staying here. They thought of everything! The play set, kayak, sand box and toys were a hit. However, the front door is easily opened by toddlers from the inside. Otherwise, this was a relatively stress free stay with our toddlers. Thank you for a great stay!

Lake Charlevoix House

Lake views were great, deck was on the Lake Shore, kitchen and baths were clean and appliances were fairly new. Location convenient and easy to get to stores and restaurants in East Jordan as well as on the highway to get to Charlevoix and Petoskey or Traverse for more specialized, tourist shopping. Great location and great lake views!!

Amazing Lake Front House

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful home. It is right on the lake and easy to dock a boat to a buoy. We enjoyed the kayaks, the fire pit, the grill and the paddle board. The house is very comfortable and the view is gorgeous! Plenty of space in the bedrooms. We love the deck off the master bedroom. The kitchen is fully stocked and has plenty of room for your own groceries. The host is awesome and will make sure you have everything you need during your stay. This was our 2nd time in the house. It's a perfect place for vacation!

Perfect for families

We stayed here with my family and friends over Labor Day weekend: 4 adults and 6 kids total. We had a great time relaxing, enjoying the view of the lake, the paddle board and kayaks. The yard with all the kids toys were just perfect. My kids loved the sand pits and the swing set. They even played in the open space and played volleyball. There is enough room for the kids to run around and get energy out. It was such a great space. There’s enough space for parents to relax while kids play. The house was very roomy and I appreciated the space each room had. We were in the primary bedroom and I loved view of the lake and balcony. We sat there relaxing in the mornings before heading down to the kitchen to meet the kids. We did cook every morning and three nights out of our 4 nights there and the kitchen was stocked with all the cooking utensils, and pots/pans. We needed to buy additional condiments like garlic powder, paprika and other staple ingredients but they had the basics of salt and pepper condiments. The couches were so comfortable and perfect setup for movie watching. Sandy was such a pleasure to work with, her flexibility was also so much appreciated. She really provided us a wonderful stay, beautiful home and amazing lake with yard! We would love to come back.

Great family vacation!

We stayed for a week at Sandy's place and it was a great vacation. Would absolutely recommend the house itself, and Sandy as a lovely host. Pros: - Spacious, open living/dining/kitchen area. - Right on the water - Play structure was a hit with all the kiddos - Rooms were sizable and comfortable Cons: - The floor was definitely not fully cleaned when we arrived. Not a huge deal but not my favorite feeling. - There was no extra toilet paper or paper towel, which we didn't realize till it was close to too late. Take note in advance of your shopping trip! - This is not the house itself, but something to note for all of lake Charlevoix: the boat rental place will not allow you to tie the boats up to the actual dock, you need to do offshore mooring - aka jump in the water to walk/swim out to your boat and back. Not ideal with tiny kiddos, but we made it work.

Excellent family vacation home. House was clean and had everything for the whole family including water toys and games. Beautiful back yard made evenings enjoyable to sit outside. Our grandchildren couldn't get enough swimming. Sandy was a pleasure to work with and was available by phone at any time. There is a marina 400 ft from the house with a great selection of boats and toys. We would highly recommend this home for a family vacation!

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.
