It’s a great place if you want to unplug as the area does not have the greatest reception. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area along with Central Lake itself. Some places are like 20-30 min but it’s like 40-50 min from bigger cities like Charlevoix and Petoskey. I’d keep that in mind. All in all the stay was great. The house is older so a little stuffy, but they do have ac units and plenty of fans. I WOULD RETURN. ##### Virginia K. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Kacie W.
