Our third year here and love it more each time. The amenities, the thoughtful stocking of items at the house that make it more comfortable and accommodating, and the continuous upgrades are always so appreciated. It’s our home away from home and you simply can’t beat the beach area at this property!!

Great place, clean and well appointed. Everything you need is in the kitchen. Bathrooms are also well stocked and we appreciated the big box fans for nighttime (even though there is also A/C). The beach area is on the other side of the road but the road is rather quiet and the beach is lovely complete with SUPs, kayaks and a cute gazebo with furniture. It was nice and relaxing for our family.

my 1st time doing a vrbo
The place is really nice. The beach is something a person wont forget. Aaron is a good guy. If we had an issue, he was on it. The fire pit was awesome! This place has a lot to offer. Its great for adults and children. The reason for a mid score was I felt that Aaron keeps to close of an eye on things. Good and bad. The hot tub area is fantastic but there was no privacy. Aaron lives above the garage. He keeps his windows open in the hot tub area. We didn't feel very comfortable about that. The house AC was blowing hot air. It was 76 degrees in the house at midnight. Most of our time was spent on the fantastic beach across the street from the location. Very, very low traffic. Another thing was the front door. Only way to get into the place was dropping your shoulder into it and hitting it really hard. I like to be out late on the beach. I would get back to the house and I would have to really hit it, waking my family up. We made it work. When it comes to your fire pit. You should really post your rules on the beach, Aaron. The fire was well maintained but a little big but contained. There's no reason to be watching out your windows waiting for me to go in. Then I go in for food and use the rest room and come back out to see that you poured water on my fire and took the lighter fluid you accommodated us with. It was like we were little children and we had the beach police after dark. The lighter fluid thing really hurt your score.

Do not book this
The place is NOT as pictured. There are the owners living above in the attached garage- no privacy shade (as owner states). The house is across the street from the lake and does not back up to the lake. The outdoor is dirty and unwelcome. The largest issue the awful smell inside. We literally walked in and left and booked another place.

Peaceful Paradise
This little gem is such a peaceful & friendly neighborhood. The view of the cove is simply stellar! And centrally located to make it to all the spots you want in minutes! Aaron is a wonderful host - if he is on the property he is very respectful of your privacy & promptly responsive to any questions or needs you may have.We walked the neighborhood - lounged on the beach - soaked in the hot tub - rejuvenated in the steam barrel - had amazing breakfast @ 9 Beans every day - drove M22 loop & hit all the beautiful vineyards - had amazing food - simply had a wonderful time

Relaxing Getaway
Love North Shore Cherry Cove was a perfect place for our getaway. Location is great for exploring the Leelanau peninsula. Traverse city is only 15 minutes south. Aaron is a gracious host. Your privacy is his priority. The home is spacious, clean, and filled with all the little touches that welcome you in. You truly feel right at home. The beach is very nice. We had a great fire and enjoyed the new gazebo. Hot tub was wonderful after our daily outings. We did not use the sauna but plan to during our next stay. Thank you Aaron!

Everything from checking in to checking out was perfect. The house had everything we needed. It was in a great location and felt like we were tucked out of the way, in the woods, with a beautiful view of the lake! We also weren’t that far from shops and great restaurants.

Beautiful and cozy winter getaway
The location was perfect with a beautiful view of the bay from the living room and kitchen. We enjoyed relaxing and playing games in front of the fireplace and were even more excited to soak in the hot tub on the cold winter nights. We were able to make our own dinners and breakfasts easily in the kitchen because it was stocked with every item we needed. We would definitely come back again!

Cozy winter getaway
The snow was piled up and we were nice and cozy inside our getaway. The hot tub was wonderful as we gazed up at the stars and watched the falling snow drape the trees in the forest behind the home. The view out the front was of the partially frozen Lake Michigan. The perfect getaway!!
