Great lakeside getaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and our two kids loved our stay in this house. The house if gorgeous! We cooked dinner and enjoyed a fire in the fireplace each night. We used the firepit as well to enjoy the great fall weather. We loved being right on the water for the stunning sunsets and for all the rock skipping. It was an easy drive to Charlevoix and the few wineries and breweries we visited. I would recommend this vacation spot!

Incredible Property

My family absolutely loved this house! It was large enough for all of us to gather and not feel like we were crowded. The kitchen was the perfect size for my mom and I do put together a meal and not be bumping into each other constantly. We are already talking about booking this property again in the future!

Summer getaway

My friends and family loved our stay here. So big and cozy at the same time. The lake views and sunsets were amazing. The place was very clean and pretty much had everything we needed. My only issue would be the beds - they were a little on the hard side for everyone in the house. Was not a deal breaker and we would stay here again!

Beautiful large executive home. Private lakefront. Was very clean with great view and deck. Close to downtown Charlevoix. Only negative was very hard mattress made for uncomfortable sleep.

After reviewing our 130 reviews, between VRBO and our Website, this is the first time we’ve heard that the beds were uncomfortable. In fact, past guests consistently mentioned they were comfortable, but everyone has their own sleeping preferences, so we appreciate you letting us know! Aside from that, we are happy to hear you enjoyed the home, the location, and the fantastic views! We welcome you back anytime! – Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan
