We loved our stay at this beautiful lakefront property. Our family came up for a wedding weekend in Charlevoix and it was just perfect. Clean, comfortable bedrooms, a beautiful porch to drink our coffee and sit outside, kitchen and dining room with views of the lake were some highlights. It was great and I would return!

The view of the property is amazing. My parents spent our whole vacation out back just watching the water and didn't want to do anything else. Checkin process was very easy and it's in a great location near maybe things to do.

This is a lovely, clean, home with a view that you will never forget! The lower level provides great space, as does the upper level. I could have sat on the top balcony all day. The beach is very rocky and the rocks continue in the water and are slippery. Very thoughtful that the owners have a bin of water shoes! But still a challenge to get in and enjoy the water. The only other issue is the AC on hot days, but the breeze off the lake is usually great and there are plenty of fans! I would definitely come back if I could!

We were blown away by the view! The gardens were beautiful and well kept. The inside provided plenty of space for our family and something for everyone. We really enjoyed our stay and hated to leave! Super convenient location.

Wonderful Lake Michigan Views

The description for the rental was spot on. We loved waking up in the morning to the crashing of the waves on the beach. Loved the central location between Petoskey and Charlevoix. Property owner was easy to get hold of and very responsive. Already looking forward to our next visit! We would highly recommend this property!

Our stay

Great property on a quiet dead end road. Just a few things to know before you go, the view is amazing but the beach area is all rocks and there are about 75 stairs to climb down to access the beach. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. I would stay again in the future. The host provided detailed check-in instructions and was very responsive.

Stunning views and fun, comfortable spaces

We had a reunion of 5 college friends at the house. The space was excellent for our needs. We loved the extensive deck and the million dollar views! The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary equipment. We had fun playing ping pong and billiards, and watched movies and football on the big screen. Beds were comfortable! We would happily stay here again.

Felt right at home!

We had plenty of room for our large group. The kitchen, living areas and bedrooms were very useful. The kids enjoyed the basement and all of the games provided - way more than I thought there would be. But most of all - THAT VIEW AND BEACH! We felt like we belonged right where we were and didn’t want to leave. Can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful!

Loved it all, hard to head home. Kitchen has everything you’ll need. Loft was bigger than pics and basement had tons to do. Warm and inviting home with fantastic views. Quiet area and subdivision and close to bike trail. 70ish stairs down to water but my 70 year old parents didn’t have a problem with them. Will be going back!!

Great architecture, view and amenities. House cleaning had a couple of slip-ups such as left over food left in oven, dishes in dishwasher and sand between the sheets. the last one made us feel kind of dirty but sense we ate out all except breakfast snacks the other two neglected issues were of no consequence. Oh we saw close encounters with two bald eagles and Pileated woodpecker. Sun over the water is phenomenal!

Scott - I am truly disappointed with the conditions you encountered upon your arrival. I wish you would have reached out to contact us, I would have sent cleaning back, or drove up and took care of it myself. Please except my apology and if you ever head this way again reach and I will make things right.

Girl Time!

This place is even better than advertised…….the cleanliness, amenities and multi levels of decks for spectacular views was worth every penny!! We had such a great time and rarely left during our stay, but when we did have to leave, anything we needed wasn’t a far drive. With it pretty much in the middle of Charlevoix and Petosky it was very convenient to venture to both cities during our stay…….Tami was very easy to get ahold of, and she answered texts very quickly. I highly recommend this place and surely hope to make it back again one day.

Clean, well-stocked house with great outdoor space and beautiful view! We enjoyed walking down to the rocky beach (be sure to bring water shoes!) where the water was clear and shallow, although it truly is all rocks, which prevented some of our family from being able to go into the lake. The house had a nice layout for our family to spread out; the main floor worked well for the older adults, while the kids enjoyed hanging out in the basement and loft area. The pool table, ping pong, darts, and other games were a plus! Location was a short drive to downtown Petosky, Charlevoix, and other cute towns and state parks. Checking and out was a breeze.

great location

The location is quiet and relaxing, yet close to activities. A very good starting point for our range of interests - bicycling; golfing; shopping; sightseeing; wineries. The house was very clean and well appointed. Host was extremely easy to work with and a good communicator. Stairs are not an issue for most adults. Be aware if travelling with small children or mobility challenged. That said - could also stay very comfortably on one level!
