Very spacious! We traveled with another family of 4 (8 people total), and we never felt on top of each other. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. The view from the family room was incredible! Loved the play structure on the property and two sandboxes! Used the mooring ball for our boat, easy access from the launch! Overall great stay!!!

Beautiful view to wake up every morning! We had kids ages 14-4 and there was something to do on the property for everyone. The kids spent all day in the kayaks, on the paddleboard, swimming, and on the play set. Loved every minute!

The stay was wonderful. The house is exactly as described with plenty of amenities. The lake was calm and nice, fish right off the dock! The yard and dock were amazing, swing set and fire pit a bonus! I'd recommend bringing water shoes as the bottom of the lake is rocky, and a sleep mask because the house has a beautiful east view that can wake you up. Earplugs if you're a light sleeper and for those in the bedrooms by the road which was pretty busy with loud truck traffic. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Host was wonderful and very responsive. Offered plenty of suggestions for the area as well.

family fun on Lake Charlevoix

The home is very nice and we enjoyed the location. Easy to walk to boat rental! LOTS of sand toys and water items like kayak and board. The road noise is the only negative thing any of us could mention. I'm a heavy sleeper so I took a room on the road side and it never bothered me.

Family Get-away

The home and yard are spacious and property manager was very responsive. Understand the home is on the water but there were so many spiders and spiderwebs it looked as if it had not been cleaned recently or very well. Photos need to be updated. Deck and swing set are much older than appear. The sand photo looked to me as a sandy beach. It is not. It is a sandbox.

2024 Family Vacation

The family really enjoyed our annual vacation this year. The house was in a wonderful location on Lake Charlevoix and my son was able to moor his boat very close to the house dock. Many sand toys, wonderful playset and yard games too. Loved the sandbar to relax and "The Landings" to dock the boat for a great lunch/dinner. The nightly bonfires were wonderful roasting smores. Very child friendly for our 3 year old granddaughter. Exceeded our expectations. Yes, there is some street sound in the front of the house, for two bedrooms but just bring a couple sound machines which other VRBO guests advised, and it works well. Sandy was a great host - thank you on behalf of our family!

Stayed at the house for a weekend wedding and it was the perfect spot. About a mile from downtown East Jordan, we were able to relax by the water or head into town quickly for a bit to eat. Would recommend to anyone.

Kid friendly Lake getaway

Our kids (two 2 yo, and two 4 yo) loved staying here. They thought of everything! The play set, kayak, sand box and toys were a hit. However, the front door is easily opened by toddlers from the inside. Otherwise, this was a relatively stress free stay with our toddlers. Thank you for a great stay!

Lake Charlevoix House

Lake views were great, deck was on the Lake Shore, kitchen and baths were clean and appliances were fairly new. Location convenient and easy to get to stores and restaurants in East Jordan as well as on the highway to get to Charlevoix and Petoskey or Traverse for more specialized, tourist shopping. Great location and great lake views!!

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Gerlach

Host profile image
We are a family who have loved lakefront living our whole life. We are excited to share that love and offer a great retreat for other families and individuals. We started renting our cottage down state near the Ann Arbor area about in 2009 and discovered I have a real love for hospitality. I like my guests to feel special and to have fun. We now spend our summers in Charlevoix and have purchased this beautiful home on the south arm of the lake for others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Beauty and convenience. Located so close to the water front, the views are spectacular. On a main Thruway between Charlevoix & East Jordan, it's easy to find and get to. For families with little ones I like to have a playset and beach toys and games for their enjoyment. Being right on the lake allows the parents not to have to pack anything up and go anywhere, just relax and enjoy watching the children play. For the older guests we have kayaks, paddleboard, and more. Bring your boat, or just have a drink, and get ready for a fun atmosphere while grilling and lounging on the deck.
