Charlevoix Paradise

The accommodations were exactly what I needed for my 3-week stay in Charlevoix. The house was clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything I needed to feel at home.The host was very responsive and quick to answer questions I had. The location was close to both the lake and downtown Charlevoix, making it easy to enjoy everything the area had to offer. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-maintained home in a great location!

Wonderful, clean and very comfortable house with lots of amenities, overall it was easy. It was a bit confusing trying to add on an extra day with Evolve, I originally got responses from more then person but then didn’t hear back from one for a couple days, would have preferred more personal contact but it wasn’t a big deal in the end. Thank you

The house was great. I did try to text the owners at least 2 times to see if it was assessible for a wheel chair. I didnt get a response. I am in a wheelchair. I brought my ramp from home( thank goodness). It made getting into and out of the house easier. I wasn't able to get into a bedroom though and needed to stay in my chair the entire visit. It was a lovely house for able bodied individuals

From the owner: “I’m glad you enjoyed the home overall. To clarify for future guests, the property is not advertised as wheelchair accessible, and the listing photos reflect that layout. I’m sorry for the difficulties you experienced, but during your stay, I did respond promptly to questions that came through, including helping with the keypad and TV. I always aim to be responsive and transparent, so guests know what to expect before they arrive.”

It was a very nice house overall, but we really struggled with the lack of air conditioning. Even with all the provided fans we ended up going to the store to buy a portable AC unit. Even that left the upstairs bedroom unusable in the late July heat. I feel like the lack of AC should have been more clear in the listing. Michigan summers are SO hot and humid and that makes a big difference in being able to sleep comfortably and enjoy our downtime.

The property was clean, but we felt that it was cleaned possibly a week before our arrival and could have used a refresh. We would have liked to use the grill but it was not clean for immediate use and we had to make other plans for dinner. The only other downside to the stay was the mattress(s) in the 4th bedroom with the bunk beds. Both were very thin and uncomfortable. The guest ended up sleeping on the couch.

Not what the ad describes

The house is across the street from a dump of a house. The fire pit is one of those small metal pits from Walmart. No AC, which wasn’t too bad because it was a little chilly and we didn’t use the house much. The bunk beds make so much noise you can’t sleep at all. They are the cheap metal ones you can get for $100. The kitchen table was big and we were able to fit everyone which was nice. All in all, I would not recommend this house. I also wouldn’t rent from Evolve, ever. Basically the ad is technically true but highly embellished.

Hi Kris, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following: - We strive to provide our guests with a great guest experience, so we were disappointed to hear your feedback and want to take a moment to address your concerns. - Although this is something completely outside of our control, the property you mention is amidst renovations, scaffolding is in place for putting up new siding and the owners are also in the process of upgrading the landscaping. We're sorry that this had a negative impact on your stay. - We take our listing accuracy seriously and do not list AC as an available amenity, but we're sorry if you missed this when making your reservation. In addition, we use professional photography for the home, so the features you see on the listing are accurately advertised, and clearly shows the standard portable firepit available for our guests use. - We wish you had reached out to the guest contact during your stay. We were unaware of any issues with the bunk beds. Had we been made aware, we would have promptly responded and been more than happy to send our handyman to the property to address the issue. We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

Wonderful place to stay.

Location is easy and close to Charlevoix. House was very clean and comfortable. Living room has the great sectional for lounging. Dining table was large enough for Card playing and jigsaw puzzle. Really enjoyed the house. Since we were there in fall we did not need A/C but if it were warm the house had ceiling fans and portable fans in every room which would help. Able to put one car in garage at night too. Definitely would rent again.

Beautiful Lake Charlevoix Cottage

My extended family made this cottage our home for one week in August. It was perfect for us (seniors and children). The interior is very clean and updated with a nice open space for dining and lounging. The kitchen has great supplies for making meals at home. It is a short walk to Lake Charlevoix in a very quiet neighborhood, and we were excited to find the public beach which is dog friendly. Hosts were very kind and super responsive. Highly recommend this property for a quiet neighborhood on Lake Charlevoix.
