Fantastic communication, and check in/out process.
The views and the sunsets were amazing. We enjoyed the beach access and our pup loved experiencing the water. It was a perfect way to relax and celebrate together.
Beautiful Lakeside Retreat with our dog. Nice fenced in property with all the amenities and a wonderful bathroom and shower!! Enjoyed town and the gorgeous sunsets! Will definitely head back in warmer weather!
This place was exceptional! 20/10. The property is simply gorgeous, in a phenomenal location. I stayed with my family, and my sweet Rottweiler - he loved it. Extra points for dog friendly :) you will not be disappointed in your stay, I recommend everyone book this place!
The property was beautiful, clean and quiet, with an amazing view of the lake! The screened porch was a perfect spot for listening to the waves at night and enjoying a drink. Being able to bring our dog was an added benefit. I would highly recommend the property. Great place to relax and enjoy time with our family and friends!
This place was amazing! The views and sunsets were incredible, everything was clean and as shown. Lots of outdoor seating options, plus plenty of space inside. We did occasionally hear the renters above walking through the ceiling but nothing loud, to be expected, and we had the swing all to ourselves through our stay. We were able to explore Petoskey, Boyne City, and Charlevoix with short drives.

Reviewer Comments:
The staff were so friendly and helpful. The location was perfect - being directly on Lake Michigan without a ton of steps (none) and also close to Charlevoix. The road in which the property is located is a dirt road, so be aware before you bring a "classic car" or etc. Property was very clean, and the decor/amenities were great.
The property was well cared for and spotlessly clean. Information about the rental, and ideas for activities, restaurants, etc. in the area were informative.
The photos presented the interior as a much larger living area, but it was fine for 2 of us. The furnishings were comfortable and tasteful.
Being on the water was a big positive, and the side yard for the dog was a big plus.
The negative aspect was the fact that the upstairs renters could be heard overhead when they were home. (Their movement, music, and dogs) Fortunately, they were not excessively noisy.
We had a nice weekend at this property. The location is very nice. It had a large yard that leads down to Lake Michigan with a very nice, large screened back porch, and a wooden swing and fire-pit down by the lake. It also has nice side yard fenced off if you bring your dog. Bringing our pet service animal was a big plus.
A couple of negatives, the property is on the lower level so there is someone who lives above, so renters should be aware. You can hear the upstairs residents. Might also caution anyone with mobility issues and suitcases that you do have to walk down a stoney path to access the unit.
It does not have a dishwasher which wasn't a big deal for a weekend, but for a family staying for longer, it may be.
Amenities are in very short supply - no soap whatsoever in the shower, but there was some liquid handsoap by the sinks. Overall it is was a nice stay.

Georgeous lakefront vacation that is tucked away in the woodland reserve and yet close to downtown and so much more.
I was looking for a private, quiet, lakeside property to work on a book I’m writing. This studio was ideal. Very comfortable & in a nature conservation area just a couple miles from Charlevoix.

Beautiful location but no air and fire alarm went off when cooking because so hot in place. would not stay there in summer again because of heat. Place is really nice if they put central air in. Owner is really nice as well
Modern lower level w decent furnishings, screened in patio, nice area for pet .This was our second visit and it’s still very nice and private.Could use some fly remedies as they are getting in thru some openings not sealed in the unit. We bought Windex to mitigate. There is no dishwasher so we washed all our dishes before using.Also could use a good sweeping in the enclosed patio.Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and recommend if you can deal with the mentioned issues. Thanks
