This was such a tranquil piece of property to get away and relax. Beautiful views right on Lake Michigan and areas to explore less than a 1/2 drive away. Everything was clean, as offered and safe. Even the neighbors were friendly and kind. Highly recommend!

We were looking for a place to unwind and relax. This place was exactly that! Phenomenal sunsets, rock hunting and star gazing... particularly during the New Moon phase. Just a short drive from Charlevoix, Torch Lake and other local beach areas. Fantastic location for connecting with family and friends. Well-equipped home. Consistent communication with the host. Our souls have been replenished at this gem of a location. We will be back!
