Three of us (myself, husband and brother) had an enjoyable time in this house. It was clean, kitchen had plenty of cooking supplies, and beds were comfortable. The location right on the Lake is spectacular! We would choose to come back here again.
This place was absolutely perfect. I enjoyed every moment. The views were amazing and look just like the pictures online. We celebrated our 18th anniversary and it was more than we could have asked for. We are already considering our return visit. Communication was extremely easy with the host and was not stressful at at. You will definitely see us again!!
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.

This property was perfect for our girls retreat. Thoroughly enjoyed the clean and inviting home which had plenty of space for all five of us, but the quiet and peaceful location right on the water was definitely the best part of our stay. Sitting around the gas fire pit while we took in the stunning view of Lake Michigan was the perfect way to wind down the day. Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed at the Norwood Court property over LDW, and couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. The location is incredible, offering both a quiet location with stunning + unrivaled views, the house is immaculate, and the Northern Michigan Escapes team were super easy to work with. We will 100% be making return trips to this location!

Reviewer Comments:
We expected a nice on the shore home, but I had no idea how beautiful it would be. It felt like having a piece of Lake Michigan in your backyard, just beautiful unobstructed view, waves crashing, just idyllic. We loved it so much we are now interested in finding a permanent home there.
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.
Well appointed furnishings, nice bed linens and pillows, good kitchen(knives need sharpening) had nearly all we needed and expected for a nice family getaway. Close to Charlevoix and far enough to really enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

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.
