Friends Trip
The house is in a great location. It was well stocked with paper products, towels, bedding, and kitchen utensils. The bedrooms and common area were nice sizes. Washer and dryer were nice. The house was musty and there was food left there with a 2019 expiration date. Food should be removed after every stay. Some of the bedding needs to be replaced. The mattress pad on one bed was in shreds. I bought a replacement so I could sleep.

Great Charlevoix Getaway
Lovely property between Boyne and Charlevoix on the lake! Perfect for our family with two small children and my MIL. The kitchen was stocked and we cooked almost every night! The waterfront beach was perfect for the kids, fire pit for smores! Communication was great with the host. Beds super comfortable. We didn’t rent or bring a boat but would be a great spot for this with the dock access. Definitely would come back to this place!

4th of July week
Stayed at the lakehouse for a week with my family. The shoreline and dock has a small protected inlet which is very nice for playing on the private beach area and breaking up the Lake Charlevoix waves, which at times can get significant at times. The house sits very close to the water and you hear the waves lapping up against the shore every night, so peaceful! We brought our boat and explored the entire Charlevoix system, south arm and even went out to lake MI on a couple calm days and anchored up @ one of the best petosky stone hunting beaches we have ever seen! Mike was nice enough to let us use the Shorestation boatlift on the property which had a mechanical issue initially when we got there, we relayed this to Mike and to our suprise the lift company had it fixed the next day, amazing! Overall we had a great weekend exploring all lake Charlevoix and the surrounding areas had to offer. The lakehouse was a little rustic but overall was clean, comfortable, kitchen was well outfitted and worked out fantastic for our family trip! Thanks so much!

Second Stay
My family really loves this area of Michigan. The cottage is so conveniently located that you can get to Charlevoix, Boyne and Petoskey quickly. It was also very quiet and relaxing. The private beach access is nice. The kitchen was well suppplied. Plenty of towels and blankets. Just bring your food and swimsuit!

Martini Glasses and Pinochle Decks - Perfection!
As my siblings and I have aged out of camping, we have been doing cottage rentals across MI. This is the first one we really want to come back to. The location is ideal being halfway between Charlevoix and Boyne. The private water access was great. There were 5 of us this trip, and all of us felt like we had a lot of space. With the cottage being a ranch, it was easy on us - not hauling luggage up stairs. The bathrooms were normal (no funky forced in showers that felt like washing in a broom closet). We read a review saying the property was dirty, but we found everything clean and well stocked. I think that person may confuse dirty with being in an older house.

Very Disappointed!!
The house was very dirty. Had food left over in pantry that caused a severe ant problem. Kitchen fridge didn’t work which also created a problem with ants in the fridge. Only 3 burners on the stove were working. After one load of wash, the septic backed up into the master bathtub, utility tub and toilet. The dock was only partially installed. After a complaint to owner, it was finished for 1 1/2 days use. The landscapers came on Thursday to cut grass disrupting our day. After continuous efforts to connect to the internet, owner informed us there was no internet. Huge inconvenience for those attempting to work. To say the least, we were very dissatisfied. Over promised, under delivered.

Great time on the lake. Wonderful location, feels like you are back in time. We loved being so close to town and yet still on the water. Can’t wait to stay again.

Annual Family Lake Vacation
My family of 11 spent last week at this quaint lake property. The house was roomier than we expected and well equipped with cookware, utensils, towels etc. The laundry facility and 2nd refrigerator were much appreciated. The grounds were perfect for our group with outdoor seating, very nice dock, boat lift, fire pit with wood, grill, sandy beach and grassy area for our little ones on which to play. One negative, both toilets were leaky at the base; we soaked up with paper towels daily. Probably need seals replaced. Mike was great to work with, a good communicator, and was helpful answering all of our questions. He genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay, and we certainly did!
