We stayed April 30 - May 3 and had a lovely time. This is a very, very nice property. We had a 8 adults and there was plenty of room for everyone - the view is amazing. It was a bit cold for us to be outside, so wished we could of taken advantage of the fire pit, we did use the gas grill. The kitchen is well stocked and we used it quite a bit, so grateful for the dishwasher LOLThe only complaint I would have is the water pressure was subpar. We all struggled to get a decent shower, but other than that would absolutely recommend this property and should I have the whole family together again would love to return here - in the warmer weather though - we are in the Mitten, so it is a gamble no matter what time of the year!

HI Keri-Thank you for your review- We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay on the Narrows of Lake Charlevoix. It is a very unique location with great water views. We do note in the amenities section that this home does not have AC. I will certainly have maintenance check the doors in the lower level as we have never had any issues with them shutting or locking and would encourage you in the future when there is an issue to reach directly out to your property manager so that any issues can be addressed immediately. We hope to see you back on your next trip to Northern Michigan.
