It has a great layout with a large kitchen joined to a large family room and great views of the lake. There is lots of seating space for eating, lounging and spending time on a porch. The private dock and boat lift came in very handy. I am not sure if a public boat ramp is being constructed for the 2024 year, which if it is, might pose a challenge to some. ##### bruce f.

Aug 9, 2017 #### Gorgeous views and Great Outdoor Space for the Whole Family! We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The owner was so gracious in letting our precious dog come with the family. He might have had the best time of all! It accommodated our whole family and allowed the grandparents to join in the fun! The open floor plan with the kitchen and family room allowed big family dinners. We loved the location to all the small towns- lots of good restaurants, shopping and marinas near by! We loved the views from the upper deck during the day but especially the views of Boyne City all lit up across the water at night. There were some decent walking trails and a great public beach right nearby the property in Whiting Park. The only draw back of the house was that the lower-level did not have a bathroom. There are just two very small bathrooms on the top or main level. Other than that- we truly enjoyed our stay at this house. The owner was very responsive too! ##### Amy S.

Me and my family had a wonderful week here. We spent hours in the back yard at the beach and dock area fishing, rock hunting, swimming and kayaking. We found several petosky stones. The house was a reasonable proximity to all of the places we wanted to visit. We went to Mackinac Island 1 hour 12 minutes away it was awesome! Sleeping bear dune 1 hour 30 minutes it was amazing! If you go there have an amazing sandwich at the shipwreck cafe best sandwiches my family ever ate, Shopping in Charlevoix and Petosky was 30 minutes away both had quaint little shops. We saw Lake Charlevoix, Lake Michigan, Torch Lake, Lake Huron, and all of them were stunning! Thanks Larry for sharing your wonderful home with our family! ##### Paula J.

The railing, while it is great for keeping the view, is swaged cable, no issues for adults or older kids, but I could see it being scary if you have young kids. The kitchen is well equipped, though typical nitpicks of older rentals apply, pans stick, knives are dull, etc. Paper plates and paper towels were provided which is nice. The bedrooms are clean and mattresses are good. It seems like maybe Ikea furniture/mattresses. They're not luxurious but they are supportive and I had no issues waking up sore or tired. Fans are provided in the bedrooms which is great. One odd thing, one day I was out swimming with my daughters and two sketchy looking shirtless dudes just showed up unannounced to work on the lift. It wouldn't have been an issue if it would have been communicated, we weren't using the lift, but it was weird to just have 2 random people just show up. I should have been told they were coming. Overall we enjoyed our time there and it was one of the better places we have stayed on Charlevoix (we have stayed in 10 or so, and a few of them were very dodgy). That being said, it could stand to get a "deep clean", things like air vents, ceiling fans, etc are caked in dust. The dock was too short/shallow for us to use with our boat (24' inboard that draws 36") at all. It would be nice if it was 15'-20' longer (as the neighbors are) Access to the washer/dryer would also be greatly appreciated. 8 people at the lake for a week really need a way to dry things. ##### Brook P.

The house has a nice open upstairs and deck that make it great for larger groups. The yard and beachfront is private and beautiful. We launched our small boat at the ramp in Boyne City and made use of the boat lift at the dock, which worked great. Everything in the house functioned great and the place was very clean. We had a large group and used all of the beds and all were comfortable. The decor in the house was great, we especially liked the duck and loon carvings. We can’t say enough good things about the area from the golf courses to the restaurants to fishing on Lake Michigan- we all filled our coolers with lake trout. We even caught a large smallmouth off the dock and got to witness northern lights off the same dock at night. Everyone who stayed said they would return and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. ##### William N. Stayed 4 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jaimie W.

Great open concept common space for a larger family with younger children. Would recommend for a family trip! ##### Jaimie W. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles G.

I was impressed with the owner who left a handwritten note welcoming us and letting us know how to contact him if we needed anything! Property had everything you need for an enjoyable stay! ##### Charles G. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021
