Another great stay!

This was our 3rd and it was another fantastic stay. John is very responsive and super nice. Location is great- easy to walk to town, the beach and there is a small beach access within a 2 minute walk that is perfect for catching sunset. Great place. Great location. Great host.

Easy, Excellent location

We stayed one week. House had everything you need for a vacation, including beach towels. Quiet location. Not fancy at all but that’s the kind of people we are. Deck was nice for a meal. Upstairs bedrooms and bath were clean. Owner was very communicative and even said we could check in a few hours early. Definitely would rent again because it was nice not fancy.

Love this place!

Second time at this location and am currently in process of reserving for year 3! Our family rents both the main house and cottage. There is a good size back yard and fire pit. Easy walk to downtown. There is a beach access super close perfect for watching sunsets. We had a small maintenance issue and our host was on it!!! He’s great. We cannot wait for next year!!

Great Balance

The house served our stay very well. Walking distance to Depot beach, Lake Michigan beach and to down town. Extra bikes were provided and we golfed only 4 blocks away. Never used the A/C as the home stays very cool. Kitchen had what we needed and we used it daily. Overall a very comfortable week, great location and reasonable cost! I would book again for 2023.

We had the best time!

We rented the house and cottage. It was prefect. Plenty of room for everyone to have space. The deck in the back was a great place to hang out. Backyard was big enough to play with the kids and even had a fire pit. John checked to make sure we made it in and everything was good. Our family decided to book this property again and are already excited for next year!

We spent a week as a family in both the main house and guest cottage. Less than 10 minutes to lattes every morning kept everyone happy. We didn’t cook much, but the kitchens had everything we needed. We enjoyed the bikes and tennis rackets, too. Thanks John!

Ok Stay

We had an ok time at this rental. The house is older and starting to show its age. The kitchen, however, has been updated and was fairly well appointed, but a pair of salad tongs would be appreciated. The master bedroom smelled a bit musty, but it was dark and quiet at night. We did not find any of the beds to be very comfortable, especially the twin beds. (When I stripped the beds before leaving, I noticed a tag on the box spring that said 2004.) We were initially concerned about cleanliness because the master bath had a dirty, hair filled razor in the shower and there were cobwebs in the master bedroom. We contacted John, the owner, who assured us that the house had been cleaned prior to arrival. The biggest issue, however, was the ants, which were everywhere. John had ant hotels scattered throughout and told us that the house had been sprayed when I mentioned the issue. He phoned us on our check out date to see how the visit had gone, and I mentioned the ants again. I assume he will address this further. The main thing the house has going for it is the proximity to downtown Charlevoix (about a 15-minute walk) and Michigan beach (even closer). Beautiful beach! Highly recommend it as it has sand and is a wonderful spot for catching the sunset. Depot Beach on Lake Charlevoix is also within walking distance but is very rocky (water shoes are highly recommended). We also enjoyed the sunroom at the front of the house although it tends to get a strong plastic smell when it’s warm outside (windows can be opened to alleviate that). The plastic “wicker” type chairs are also starting to break down. The backyard is small, but there’s a fire pit and a propane grill. We enjoyed a few surprise visits from a cute fawn whose mother was clearly stashing it there during the day while she foraged for food. We highly recommend Sunshine Charters for anyone wanting to get out on the water on a catamaran for a couple of hours. You can easily walk to the launch point downtown. Also, Royal Farms, which is about a 15-minute drive south of Charlevoix (on the way to Traverse City), has wonderful pies (cherry berry is a favorite). Call ahead to ensure that they have some pies available or pre-order. They also have tasty ciders available there to sample and/or purchase. We love the Charlevoix area and have been visiting for the past few years. Thanks VRBO! I’m not sure that we’d stay at this rental again but for a large group, it could represent good value.

Great location!!

This property is in a beautiful neighborhood just a short walk to downtown Charlevoix. We loved sitting out in the sunroom where it is very cheery and comfortable! The kitchen is well stocked so we were able to cook our meals. We had great communication with John. He even offered his bikes in the basement for us to use. He even invited us out to the backyard for a campfire. We had a lovely stay. Thanks John!

Great house to stay with some family.

The property location is amazing. The pictures of the house are exactly what you get. It is a bit dated and the 2 rooms upstairs could use queen beds but overall I was very happy with my stay. If I go to charlevoix again I would be happy renting this house. Thanks John

Location, location, location

This was our third time staying at this property since 2010 and we choose to stay here for the great northside location just 6 blocks from downtown Charlevoix and minutes to Mount McSauba Beach. Road noise from Highway 31 is a loud but manageable at night with the windows closed. The northside location allows you to avoid the congested town traffic and frequent bridge openings. Home highlights: - Comfortable, airy, screened front porch with lots of seating. - Fully stocked kitchen with all you need to prepare meals at home. - Sunny deck with lots of railing space to hang your wet towels! Gas grill in backyard. - Several adult/big kid bikes available to use. - Fast and nice washer and dryer for mid-vacation laundry - Two full bathrooms, one upstairs, one downstairs. Overall a clean and comfortable home base from which to enjoy all Charlevoix and the surrounding area has to offer.

Great location

It was a wonderful location! Cleanliness was an issue. Multiple ants, spiders and spiderwebs. Questionable if dishwasher worked very well as soap was not dispensed and dried food on some dishes. We called about no hot water and received immediate response as heater just needed to be adjusted beyond vacation mode. Grass not cut until 2 days before we left. Lots of silverware and dishes available. We brought our own linens due to Covid and I was glad. A plethora of linens available but they all seemed very well worn. The front porch was wonderful. House set in a charming neighborhood. It was great to have a washer and dryer available and AC with the warm weather. Our issue was it needed to be cleaner.

Great house with lots of room for everyone!

This house is perfect for a family. My nephew and wife with two children stayed in the house while my husband and I rented the one bedroom cottage behind the house. The dining room table expands to seat 8-10 people. The kitchen has a good assortment of pots and pans and there were good kids videos, beach toys, and beach chairs available. Would rent this house again. It is more affordable than others in the area and a short walk to downtown Charlevoix.

Hope to return!!

Hesitant to give away our newly found gem but I must say This home is lovely! Spent 2 weeks with 5 to 8 people during the Venetian Festival. Still has the Up North cottage feel but also updated with newer appliances, central air, new bathroom upstairs and a relaxing enclosed front porch. When weather permitted (it was a warm 2 weeks) we opened the porch windows and enjoyed a nice breeze. Having the oversized refrigerator and a microwave were a major plus! Central air, ceiling fans throughout, plenty of linens & cookware, a large gas grill, the basement to store our golf clubs was also stocked with bikes and has some overflow folding lawn chairs for dining on the deck or around the portable fire pit. The bathrooms are spacious enough to share while getting ready. Comfy new queen pillow top mattress in the roomy master on the main. Both TV's are flat screen and accommodated a firestick and gaming system (no getting around that with a teenage boy). Bring some board games for family time around the large dining room table which expands. Have been coming to Charlevoix and have owned property up there on and off for 30 years, the location to town and beaches from this home was a perfect walk for my crew. Home was very clean upon check in. Instructions for entry, operation & departure were clear. Wifi worked fine. The box was replaced while we were there, so its brand new. The guys enjoyed the public course 2 minutes away every morning while the ladies enjoyed the North side morning walks. The flowers are breathtaking walking down Dixon to town! What to bring... We brought our own patio table umbrella, extra sandchairs (there is 1 we used) and a drink cooler for the deck, there is 1 styrofoam cooler we used outside for bottled water. The laundry room also had plenty of storage room for beach bags etc. and washer/dryer worked great! Wish we lived in Michigan because we would be back in the fall!! BTW go find the Burnt Marshmallow Brewery 10 miles away. Another hidden gem in a peaceful setting near Walloon.

Great cottage and great location

I have rented the house on several occasions and the cottage for several years in July. Both are well maintained with well stocked kitchens. The location is great ...about 8 blocks to town down Dixon Ave which has beautiful homes. I would recommend this property to anyone! I don't understand the lady who was there last July saying the house was dirty. I stopped at the house before getting into the cottage and it looked clean to me.
