About the host
Hosted by Charlie and Lynn Unruh
Charlie and I had always wanted to be in the vacation rental business. We had the opportunity to purchase the only other house on our property and decided it would make a great get away for folks. The two houses are not visible to each other so privacy is assured. We have now been in the business 18 years and still enjoy meeting all the new people.
Why they chose this property
NorthShore GuestHouse was originally moved on to the property by Charlie's brother. He planned on living there but it never worked out for him. It was sold outside the family but now it is back in the family and has morphed into NorthShore GuestHouse.
What makes this property unique
Our nearest neighbor is one mile away. Your friendly hosts live about 100 yards away. The trees and bushes between houses assure your privacy. We really enjoy the peace and quiet out here and think you will too. We are also in a recreation area; Marion Reservoir. The lake is beautiful and good for fishing as well.
Pets not allowed at NorthShore. If you have a small dog that doesn't shed we can talk about it. If you have a larger dog we can talk about them can staying in the outdoor kennel.
