The host and amenities were both top notch. I’ve never been to a VRBO so well stocked for basics. The house was comfortable with a great launching point for the area’s attractions. We went snowshoeing twice at Glacial Hills just a few miles away. We also spent a day in Traverse City as it was an easy day trip. Great house, great hosts. We would definitely stay there again.

We loved the house. It was clean and well stocked we loved sitting on the back deck in both the covered and uncovered areas. It was super close to lake access and lake view.

Great house and location

We had a great time on the 4th of july. The house is fabulous and in a great location. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac it was quiet and we loved sitting outback in the morning with a cup of coffee and watching the dog explore. Highly recommended this property

Our stay was wonderful! Check-in and out process was simple and communication was quick and easy. Kitchen was very well stocked and having spices was a nice bonus (bring your own salt, pepper and oils). There is a full dining set outside as well as chairs around the fire pit. Inside was very clean and comfortable and the backyard was great to hang out in. It felt relatively secluded while being in a neighborhood. Central lake is a cute town and has a small grocery store. The beach and town are a short drive or walk away (around 1-2 miles).

Excellent rental close to lake

The house was clean and well organized. The hosts were great! They left us a wine bottle and some chocolate cherries as a welcome gift. Our kids loved having a large backyard to play and the cul de sac to ride their bikes around.

Nice Property

Pleasantly located at the end of a street. A nice safe place for kids. Large yard with a fire pit. Easy to access. Well equipped. Central Lake is a nice small town. The rules are easy to follow.

Perfect house in quiet neighborhood

We came to stay here because my sister was getting married at my mom's farm south of Charlevoix. The location was amazing. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The house was lovely, so clean, a wonderful backyard, and so well stocked with anything you could possibly need. The only thing that could have made it better was a full length mirror as we were getting ready for the wedding, but that is trivial. I loved this house and will probably try to rent it again the next time we are up to visit the family. Just a truly wonderful stay.

Great place to stay!

We had a great stay! We brought our boat and it was a perfect drive to fit the boat and the truck. The home was well stocked with everything we needed and then some. The furniture was comfortable and the house was clean. The back deck was very nice. Loved the chair swing. The grill was nicer then we have had other places. It was nice to not be able to watch T.V. without having to have an account. King sized bed was awesome and comfortable! Central Lake is a great place for us to stay, close to Charlevoix, many lakes to fish, Bellaire and Alden. The hosts were very quick to respond even when I kind of jumped the gun a little and was able to figure out my questions. They were very kind and helpful. It was absolutely beautiful weather for our week. We will definitely stay here again!!
