Our stay

Great property on a quiet dead end road. Just a few things to know before you go, the view is amazing but the beach area is all rocks and there are about 75 stairs to climb down to access the beach. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. I would stay again in the future. The host provided detailed check-in instructions and was very responsive.

Stunning views and fun, comfortable spaces

We had a reunion of 5 college friends at the house. The space was excellent for our needs. We loved the extensive deck and the million dollar views! The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary equipment. We had fun playing ping pong and billiards, and watched movies and football on the big screen. Beds were comfortable! We would happily stay here again.

great location

The location is quiet and relaxing, yet close to activities. A very good starting point for our range of interests - bicycling; golfing; shopping; sightseeing; wineries. The house was very clean and well appointed. Host was extremely easy to work with and a good communicator. Stairs are not an issue for most adults. Be aware if travelling with small children or mobility challenged. That said - could also stay very comfortably on one level!

Absolute Lake Michigan perfection

This house and these owners were amazing! The views, the private waterfront access, the decks and outdoor space were absolutely amazing. The house was beautiful, very well equipped, and so comfortable. There are 3 levels and plenty of space to spread out. We had two minor issues arise while staying there and the owners responded immediately and arranged prompt repairs and solutions to fix the issues (even on a weekend). There are plenty of games, activities supplied but my kids used the biggest attraction the most which was the lake! Great location and easy access to Petoskey, Charlevoix, Harbor Springs, and the Petoskey Stare Park. Will definitely want to rent this house again next time we are lucky enough to be in the area.

Felt right at home!

We had plenty of room for our large group. The kitchen, living areas and bedrooms were very useful. The kids enjoyed the basement and all of the games provided - way more than I thought there would be. But most of all - THAT VIEW AND BEACH! We felt like we belonged right where we were and didn’t want to leave. Can’t wait to come back!

Loved this house and location!

My husband and I and 4 kids ranging in ages from 18-22 stayed at this house for 6 nights to attend a wedding in Charlevoix. The location and view were so beautiful that pictures don’t do it justice. Very private and quiet. The house itself is very well equipped and stocked. I’m a self-professed foodie and was very impressed with the kitchen tools, small appliances, utensils and crockery. I was able to cook and bake away and the only thing I could not find was a potato peeler. Kids loved the games room downstairs, the loft upstairs and the beach. The location itself was very convenient to both Petoskey and Charlevoix and there’s a great bike path extending all the way to both towns with unbelievable views. Tami was a great hostess who was prompt to answer our questions. The house guidelines were all clearly documented. The outdoor patios, seating and gas fire pit were all well maintained and very comfortable. Plenty of extra blankets provided. Not a ton of towels but lovely newer washing machine and dryer fully stocked with detergent and fabric softener to wash the towels as needed. The only drawback I noticed was a public access stairway next to the property that draws people going to the beach and parking on the dead end in front of the house. This combined with an open backyard and no gate preventing people from accessing the back of the house, doorwalls, any personal possessions on the decks. Just felt it could have been more secured. Otherwise, it was perfect!

Girl Time!

This place is even better than advertised…….the cleanliness, amenities and multi levels of decks for spectacular views was worth every penny!! We had such a great time and rarely left during our stay, but when we did have to leave, anything we needed wasn’t a far drive. With it pretty much in the middle of Charlevoix and Petosky it was very convenient to venture to both cities during our stay…….Tami was very easy to get ahold of, and she answered texts very quickly. I highly recommend this place and surely hope to make it back again one day.

Siblings Getaway

We had the opportunity to get away with our siblings and their significant others for a long weekend getaway. We could not have picked a better home to stay in for four days. While we liked the option of a pool table and tvs, we found ourselves enjoying the entertaining spaces outside and never turned on a tv. We were able to enjoy our morning coffee and conversation on the back deck overlooking the Lake Michigan waves bouncing off the shore. After watching the views for a while, we would venture down to the water line to look for a few rocks, of course petoskeys and fossils were plentiful. Throughout the day, we found ourselves migrating down the deck to the second layer overlooking the beautiful lake view as we had dinner and plenty of laughter. The evenings were filled with breathtaking sunsets just before we migrated into the great room for game nights and laughter into the night. The house itself had everything we could ask for. Comfortable beds, fans, and plenty of privacy. The house was perfectly landscaped, was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. It was located close in proximity to the quaint towns and wineries, and is located next to a very long biking/walking trail. We enjoyed ourselves and each other so much, we all hope this was the first of many annual trips together. The Smith Family

We enjoyed the rocky beach for collecting and skipping stones. The home is just down the road from a trail through t the woods to the waterfront, as well. It’s nicely located near downtown Petoskey and is a a great place for a family who likes adventures.
