It was so well equipped with everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home. The property owner is so helpful and accommodating.

This place has some of the best panoramic views of Lake Michigan sunsets! The location makes for quiet evenings on the lake sitting in front of the camp fire, yet close enough for shopping and golf in the Charlevoix area. The property manager Jennifer was very easy to get in touch with and responded to questions quickly. Highly recommended place to vacation! ##### Dan J.

Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zachary Z. Jun 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Couples getaway Beautiful home. Impeccably maintained inside and out with beautiful gardens and a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan. The only downside was that there is no air conditioning. Luckily the 2nd couple had the option to move to one of the first floor bedrooms on the few days that temps rose above 90 degrees. But had we been at capacity that would not have been an option. Even the main floor was a bit uncomfortable during the hotter time of day on those unseasonably hot days. It would be helpful for this to be obvious in the listing notes as we never considered there wouldn’t be ac for a rental at this price. If portable ac units were added we would definitely stay here again. ##### Zachary Z. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ALVIN K.
