Holiday getaway

This home was the perfect place for us to get away with close friends for a little getaway between Christmas and New Years. The living space is cozy with a great fireplace and breath taking private view of the lake. Fit our group of 4 adults well, but could be a tight fit for a larger group. The property lends itself to privacy and the beach felt like our very own. We walked on the beach in coats and hats and could walk for miles. We even bundled up and sat around the outdoor gas fire pit! Overall, this is an excellent and very comfortable vacation rental. We would definitely consider staying again.

Quiet Retreat

House was beautiful. The highlight obviously being the private lakefront location. We loved playing in the lake each day. Rarely saw anyone except an occasional kayaker. House was comfy and functional. Only downsides for us were lack of blinds or curtains. If you're hoping to sleep in or that your kids will, this will be an issue. Views were beautiful though. We could have used more towels too. I've never had a restricted number in any other vrbo and it was a struggle as the girls needed towels for both hair and body. We used beach towels instead which worked fine. Enjoyed our stay. Location was great for us as we like space and privacy. Very close to town and easy access to 31.

Great location to stay on Lake Michigan

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a great location to spend right on Lake Michigan. The house was beautiful and in excellent condition. The kitchen, living room and master bedroom have excellent views of Lake Michigan. The back deck was beautifully furnished with a large dining table with 6 chairs, a fire pit, six Adirondack chairs and leads right to the Lake. I did have to call for maintenance since two chairs were missing screws, but a maintenance staff member came out early the next day to repair. Excellent communication by staff during the visit on the arrival and exit details and highly responsive for any issues. This location is also about 20 minutes from Charlevoix to enjoy the town. The house is located on a dirt road, but this presented no issues in summer weather.
