Absolutely stunning home and surrounding property! The home is clean and well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked and the bedrooms had extra linens if needed. There was plenty of outdoor seating that overlooked beautiful Lake Charlevoix. The host was very kind and answered our questions promptly. The location is perfectly located to several northern Michigan towns. Fantastic place to stay!

The house was huge with plenty of space for all our guests. The kitchen was remarkable! The large island was perfect for people to sit around and visit while staying out of the way of the people cooking. The two refrigerators were very useful as well.
