Nice Stay

Nice house, nice location. There is not a direct path to the water which I have knee issues and couldn't get down to the water so that was disappointing. No fault of the owners but there were a pair of swans that were very aggressive and the weather was not favorable but overall it was nice to be back in the area.

Good for large group

Overall great stay and beautiful view of the East Jordan River. However, there was no note that stated there was no AC. Really hot in the upstairs rooms. Doors in the downstairs rooms/bathrooms do not shut which was uncomfortable when changing/using the bathroom.

great rental on lake Charleviox

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: house was fine, bit warm but that's a welcome rarity in northern Michigan. well-equipped house, we cooked 6 times at the house, five times at the grill next to the outdoor table. The best feature is the location. we were able to rent a tri-tune and dock it out front because back side of holy island is completely protected. I was able to sail my Hobbie cat onto the beach. other locations on the lake are frequently too rough for beaching or even docking without a lift.A previous reviewer suggested that getting to the beach could be better laid out, we agree, and suspect updates will come. but not a showstopper by any stretch.

We enjoyed our stay, communication was great. They did install a splitter, which cooled the house down. We did have unusually warm weather during our stay.

The house is well situated for large family groups. They took extra care to make the property friendly for small children (i.e., small tables and chairs and lots of toys,and a high chair). The basement area is great as is the large outside area and fire pit. We did not have a fire due to weather but it would be very easy to do; there are plenty of chairs for everyone to enjoy the fire. The kitchen has everything you could need. The BBQ grill was terrific too,

Great stay!

We had such a wonderful trip! This is such a beautiful lake house on a gorgeous lake. We were able to kayak around the lake and golf in the area. The house is so beautiful, comfortable and peaceful with gorgeous lake views. Love that it was dog friendly and well supplied. Would absolutely stay here again!

Great gathering spot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very 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 house is not your typical rental, but a personal home offered for rental. The kitchen had everything we needed. Our family gathered for a wedding and the house had wonderful spaces for hanging out together. We enjoyed watching the wildlife and quiet activity on the smaller arm of the lake. The basement bedrooms were damp but cool in the hot weather. Great stay.

We stayed April 30 - May 3 and had a lovely time. This is a very, very nice property. We had a 8 adults and there was plenty of room for everyone - the view is amazing. It was a bit cold for us to be outside, so wished we could of taken advantage of the fire pit, we did use the gas grill. The kitchen is well stocked and we used it quite a bit, so grateful for the dishwasher LOLThe only complaint I would have is the water pressure was subpar. We all struggled to get a decent shower, but other than that would absolutely recommend this property and should I have the whole family together again would love to return here - in the warmer weather though - we are in the Mitten, so it is a gamble no matter what time of the year!
