Think twice!
We arrived and opened the door to an overpowering and unpleasant scent of wet dog.The house was hot and smelled extremely musty, almost like it has been closed up and with no air flow for weeks.There were other issues but worst was the heat mixed w wet dog smell that would not subside. At first, the host seemed willing to work with us. She admitted that the house was on a crawl space and that she didn't understand why it smelled b/c she had just been there earlier to change the damp rid, which shows that she knew there was an issue, which she later denied. When I communicated with her that the smell and heat combined were so bad that we were thinking of leaving, she agreed that she would "work with us" and give us a partial refund for our inconvenience. We were unable to find alternate lodging on the spot, unfortunately so we were stuck using it as just a place to sleep and avoided the house the rest of the time. Owner had to know there was a smell and mustiness issue, b/c she even offered to order a dehumidifer and have it delivered to the porch the next morning! She not only reneged on her promise of a partial refund but then accused us of making up our concerns and being "impossible" people to work with.The back table outside was covered with grime and leaves. Old porch was dipping down in spots,hurt my ankle trying to haul luggage while balancing w no rail.Broken tv in bedroom, and more,but main prob.was rude treatment from host after issues were brought up respectfully.

Cute home with a great location
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and well maintained and only a short distance from downtown Charlevoix. There was firewood and sticks available to have a nice fire down by the water. We would definitely recommend the home to others and would stay there again.

Summer vacation!
Loved our stay! The house was everything and more. It had everything that you could possibly need for your stay. And was also conveniently located for visits to Charlevoix, Petoskey, and Boyne. The kayaks and canoe were an added bonus too. Did some fishing while on the water with those. Would definitely stay there again!

Michigan Vacation
Wonderful vacation to Charlevoix! So many amazing locations to site see, great restaurants and beaches! This house was comfortable with a great location to stay with family and it was pet friendly. Nice large deck to enjoy the outdoors! A nice pier into the water would make it easier to enjoy the lake.

Our stay at the Susan Lake House
Kathy is an exceptional owner. Very responsive to both emails or phone calls as well any needs we had once we got to the property. Susan Lake is adorable and quiet. I would've liked to stay a LITTLE closer to the city as that is where my siblings were staying, but this house on Susan Lake was great...especially for the price.

Northern Gettaway
Perfectly located minutes between Charlevoix and Petoskey. It was better than expected. The pictures don’t give it justice. Very relaxing waterfront cabin. Sit and enjoy the view or grab a canoe or Kayak and paddle around Susan Lake. Don’t forget to bring a fishing pole! Kathy was great. Couldn’t ask for a better stay.
