Beautiful house on a beautiful lake - close to restaurants, local attractions. Perfect for our fall weekend trip. Bring your own shampoo - we had about 1 tablespoon for 2 people for 3 days. Bring your own pillow if you like soft pillows. We were able to check in one hour early

This is a beautiful northern Michigan Lake front dwelling. With the exception of a few cobwebs on the lamps, it was an awesome stay. Would happily stay there again.

Wonderful winter respite

We had a delightful stay here over the New Years holiday. The home is well-appointed and was exceptionally clean. We really enjoyed the wood-burning fireplace, large kitchen island, and wonderful views of the lake. It is a short drive into Charlevoix and would be even more connected in summertime with the Ironton ferry open. Be aware that the yard and walk down to the water is rather steep and the yard space is rather small. Overall, we had a delightful stay and would definitely return!

Hallmark Christmas in Charlevoix

We throughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful waterfront home near Charlevoix. We had four adults and two teenagers and for that size group it is perfect. We enjoyed the lake view, the fireplace, the kitchen was outfitted with all that you need, and the location was ideal to access other towns and sites in December. The snow was great and did not hamper driving locally. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely return to this property and highly recommend it to others.

Great lakefront vacation

This home was as advertised in a great location on the South arm of Charlevoix for boating. We brought our boat and tied up to the dock. If bringing your boat, bring lines and fenders since the metal dock is not easy on a boat. The location just inside the short no wake zone was great though. Pictures in the listing are accurate.

Charlevoix short vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our vacation rental was the tops!!! The home was delightful and spacious - super clean and well furnished and decorated. We were not able to deck sit or enjoy the fire pit due to almost constant rain and drizzle but the indoors was roomy and provided a cozy respite from our daily routine. I gene my highest rating to this property and the management team.

A cozy home in a great location

It's a beautiful spot and was just about right for 6 adults. The property itself is wedged in close to others with minimal parking/privacy. There were minor inconveniences: no propane, a rusty and dirty charcoal grill, only 5 beach chairs, a firepit on a slope with not much space around it and an AC system that couldn't keep up in the hot summer. The management company for the properly was impersonal with no names given, generic instructions that didn't apply to our property, and everything was very transactional in messages. The power went out in a storm and the generator came on for several hours. The place is very hard to find, which they warn you about. But putting a flag or marker out by the road would help.

Great location on water but you won’t get much sleep

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Home was in a beautiful location on the water. Great views from the living room. But all 6 of us staying at the house got minimal sleep every single night because the beds, sheets and pillows were very cheap and uncomfortable. All beds in the house were full sized only so my husband and I slept on separate beds in separate rooms the entire trip. Not acceptable when you’re spending this much on a rental property. Every morning we all felt sore from the poor quality mattress and pillow and we were very tired due to lack of sleep. Will not return for this reason alone. House was otherwise very clean and staff was responsive and kind.
