Up north stay

The stay was nice and relaxing, the only concern is the faucet in the bathroom, there is very little water pressure.

Perfect for our needs!

The property was just as described. We were in town for a wedding. It was not over priced like the in town properties but was close enough to easily spend a good amount of time in town. The walking trail across the road was perfect too!

Very clean, convenient location

We really enjoyed our stay! This property was very clean. It is rural but on a very busy road. There is a paved walking/bicycle path right across the road! Blackout/insulated curtains would make a significant difference in decreasing sound and heat from the windows. We enjoyed the home and would stay again. The home is minutes from every thing we enjoy in Charlevoix.

Cozy grandmas house

Cozy grandma’s house, everything works, nothing flashy but a decent place to retreat to and regroup while exploring the area. The mattress’s are the weakest link.

Cozy house

Just had a one night stay with girlfriends. Beds were comfy and we loved all the house plants throughout the house. The host was amazing at responding quickly to communication. House is perfectly situated between charlevoix and petosky and wineries are close as well!

The house was nice and clean, but seemed to have an ant issue. It was clear there were some traps to try and combat the issue, but they weren’t nearly enough. It was conveniently located between all of the things we had hoped to do for the weekend. Overall, it was still a pretty great stay!

Perfect distance for everything Charlevoix and Petoseky

We used the house to crash while we explored Charlevoix and Petoskey. Exactly what I wanted for going up North to spend time away from the city. Fans in every room. Couches were very comfortable. Decorations around the house were homely.

Nice cottage

We stayed here with friends to attend a wedding in Petosky. The property was much like advertised. The bathroom sink faucet needs attention as the water is not flowing well. The bedroom windows would benefit from blinds and outside furniture would be nice so guests could sit outside to visit. We appreciated the clear and responsive communication from the host. Also, having coffee already onsite was a nice perk. Thank you for an enjoyable weekend!

Couldn't Wait to Leave

Penny's on the Lake is a misnomer. The lake across the busy street is hidden by trees and is clearly marked private property. The faucet in the bathroom sink has been locked to only allow a dribble of water (landlord told us this). This made our 3 week stay extremely inconvenient.(landlord said he may fix this next year) The bed was very old, sagging in the middle, with squeaky, bouncy springs.The landlord gave us a foam topper but it was still not a comfortable bed. When we arrived, every cupboard in the kitchen was full. To make space for our food, it was necessary to unload several cabinets into bags on the floor. The towels are old and very thin. Bring your own. This is a family home which has an accumulation of clutter and overgrown plants. It is in sad need of some tender loving care!

I appreciate your feedback. These are things I am continuing to work on. I did offer for you to check out at any point with refund of the days you didn't stay and you refused. I also paid almost $80 so you could have live tv which isn't something that I do. This is a family home that I grew up in and we are continuing to work and maintain on it as time goes by. I am a mom of 3 that is continuing to learn and grow. This place isn't us trying to turn a profit just maintain and up keep a family home that we love so much. I always want guests to feel comfortable that is why I continue to try. That is also why I gave you the option of a refund for the days you haven't stayed, but you still didn't leave.

Fantastic

Easy to tell this is a well loved house, not just a quick ikea-stocked property. Love all of the house plants, they look wonderfully cared for. Easy access, roomy, quiet, comfortable, everything we could want. A bit of decor on the mailbox would have helped finding it, but it still wasn’t difficult. Everyone had a great time, incredibly thoughtful to leave some toys, the youngest loved that and we loved that he was busy playing. Maybe bring a couple extra blankets when you stay. Overall would definitely recommend: comfortable, clean, safe, and well lit.
