We loved our stay at this beautiful home. The kitchen was wonderful! Our only drawbacks were that there was no AC and the rocky beach.

The view was absolutely breath taking. The lake was beautiful but the stars at night above the lake were something out of a dream. The sky was so clear you could see how vast the night sky truly Is. The lovely home was well taken care of with lots of love and well stocked with anything you could possibly need.

What a gorgeous house!!! Very private, and the grounds were stunning! Everything was well maintained, and the house full stocked. Jennifer was great at communicating and responding to any questions! We came for a family vacation with our 2 married sons, wives and children and 3 teenage boys, and there was plenty of space! Can’t say enough about the outdoor space!!

This was our 2nd year in a row back for our annual Family Vacation. The house and grounds are absolutely gorgeous! So many things to do for the whole family. There are kayaks, corn hole, bicycle, hammock, and a great outdoor firepit close to the water. The views are absolutely incredible from all areas of the home! Jennifer is an excellent host and does everything to make your stay perfect. Looking forward to coming back again. Rob

Perfect Lake Michigan getaway

Our family had the most wonderful week at this lovely home. It was so well equipped with everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home. The property owner is so helpful and accommodating. The sunsets were breathtaking and wildlife sightings- a friendly fox and a majestic bald eagle- made our stay extra special!

Fantastic spot to vacation

Our group was really impressed with the home and the scenic layout of the property. This place has some of the best panoramic views of Lake Michigan sunsets! The location makes for quiet evenings on the lake sitting in front of the camp fire, yet close enough for shopping and golf in the Charlevoix area. The property manager Jennifer was very easy to get in touch with and responded to questions quickly. Highly recommended place to vacation!

This property is wonderfully located right on Lake Michigan. It is about 12 miles south of Charlevoix with no nearby eating establishment but the setting is so great that the extra effort is worthwhile. We highly recommend this property.
