Lovely house in excellent, serene location

Beautiful home with plenty of room and all the amenities…we enjoyed the peaceful setting…saw deer every morning while having coffee on the deck. We will definitely be back. Our vrbo host was very kind and accommodating…we very much appreciated the opportunity to stay in her lovely home.

Great except it smelled like mold/mildew which caused some allergic reactions

We thought the location and house were great except for the mold/mildew smell. A few of us felt like we were having allergy type reactions and chest congestion. For example, in the second floor bath room, you could see that the wall next to the tub seemed like it had problems with water... like the sheetrock had been wet. Also a minor issue was that the network password was not quite correct in the book provided... it had an upper case letter instead of lower case, which of course makes a difference with passwords. A few of us kept trying to get it so I called and Sharon gave us the right password. She was very nice and always responsive.

Inside home could be cleaner, property great!

The property was great. Very good location to ride bikes to Charlevoix. Very roomy. Password given for Wifi not working- disappointing and TV instructions could have been better in the fact that it was difficult to get the TV to turn on and no clear instructions as to what channels were available. Although we did have fun and enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable and relaxing!

We absolutely adored Sharon’s place. It’s the perfect location. 25 minute walk to town which we did everyday with our 3 kids ages 8, 10 and 12 10 minute walk to the beach. Deer sightings every day. It was truly a dream. Plenty of space in her house for us all to spread out. Sharon’s communication was top notch, she’s an absolute sweetheart. We so hope to be back again!

Best Family Vacation

Staying here in Sharon's home was a fantastic experience. She is the nicest host you could ever ask for. And the home is beautiful. There wasn't anything we needed that wasn't there. And the deer are an amazing part on their own. They were out back in am and pm. And we saw deer all thru the neighborhood. Beat host and best house we have ever had.

Beautiful Home in the woods near the beach!

This was one of the most exceptional homes we have stayed in over the past 8 years of renting through vacation home platforms. The beds were comfortable, it had everything we needed to cook. Laundry for the kiddos’ clothes was helpful mid-stay. We’d love to return in years to come!

Family getaway

Location was great, it was secluded but at the same time was not far from grocery stores or restaurants. We had bikes and easily could bike to the beach or downtown. Roads near house are mostly 25MPH and a bike trail is nearby. Plenty of space for our extended family (8 adults and 3 kids). I will warn the stairs to get into the basement are spiraled which could be an issue for some. Really enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning drinking coffee and watching/listening to the wildlife. Would absolutely consider returing again.

Great location

We had a great stay at our place. Sharon was a great host and communicated with us in a timely manner. We were even able to check in early. The house is great in a awesome neighborhood close to all the beaches, shops and restraunts. Plenty of space for a family and endless amenities.

Amazing house!

This spot is far enough outside of town to feel like you’re in the woods, but still very walkable to beaches and downtown. Host was very helpful and quickly responded to any questions we had. Absolutely will be staying here again if we can!

Perfect convenient location

This property is perfect. We have a grown family now 8 adults (and one infant grandchild) and I try to get places that can accommodate with a beach, and fun shopping experiences and distractions, for iffy weather and the like, and great food. This place has it all, and then some. It is very roomy and comfortably slept is all and had space to spread out. Everything is within walking distance. It has great areas to bike ride. You can take a ferry to explore. There are great places to eat, and a grocery store close, for if you want to stay in. The beaches are really convenient for if you have kids. The yard is large to play in. It opens to a natural area for privacy. The house is equipped with everything to make your stay comfortable. The host even went and got a high chair for us (only because I simply asked if she had one!) which she didn’t have to do. She was very responsive and reachable for questions. I highly recommend this place if you feel like a great stay in a great town. Really can’t say enough. Thank you Sharon.

Nice quiet location close to beach and restaurants and shops

The house was spacious for the 5 of us, clean and about 15 minute walk or 5 minute bike ride to the beach. The beach access is a bit of a steep sand dune to get down to but the beach is beautiful. It’s about a 20 minute walk to town but a short drive. The house provided 2 adult bikes and 1 child bike which were helpful to just explore the area which is lovely. The jet shower and tub were a nice treat. Be careful not to leave on the heat switch in the upstairs bathroom which blows hot air as it may set off the smoke alarm. The switch should be labeled but after speaking to the seller, we figured it out. The seller really provided anything you could need while you are there and is very communicative. It took awhile to figure out which light switches when to which lights. The house is quite dim inside so we found ourselves turning on every light we could fine. Two center ceiling lights were not working and would have been helpful. There were extra lightbulbs but could not be reached without a very tall ladder. This was communicated to the seller. Also, there is one full length mirror downstairs but no mirrors in the bedrooms. Adding mirrors would be helpful. We enjoyed the two new fawn that were recently born visiting the backyard and surrounding area. The backyard is just beautiful and you will enjoy your morning coffee or glass of wine out there. Charlevoix is a wonderful place to visit. A drive to Mackinaw City and ferry to Macinaw Island are a must. The nearby town of Petofsky is also beautiful with plenty of restaurants & shops.

Wonderful experience!

This house is very comfortable and in an excellent location. Our group of 6 adults found it very cozy, yet we all had our own private space when needed. The location is easy walking distance to downtown Charlevoix (1 mile) and a beautiful Lake MI beach (5 minutes), and a reasonable drive to hiking, biking, boating, and sightseeing adventures outside Charlevoix. The house was very well provisioned for cooking and eating in. We enjoyed watching the deer from the backyard deck. We would definitely recommend and stay at Sharon's place again!

A wondeful stay in Charlevoix

Our family had a wonderful week in Charlevoix! This home is beautiful and our first experience staying in a Cedar Shake home. It’s located in a very quiet neighborhood which is a 6 minute drive from downtown Charlevoix. The layout was great for our family with one bedroom downstairs and 3 upstairs. Our little ones enjoyed the games provided (chess, checkers, cards) and the park through the wooded area behind the house. We often spent our mornings and evenings sitting on the lovely back patio and saw numerous deer nearby. The local beaches were nice and a very short drive away, 2-6 minutes. Sharon is very sweet, so easy to communicate with, and responds so quickly! A few things that would make our stay even better: a fully enclosed master bedroom (there is a large triangular opening above the closet), minor maintenance (master closet and pantry squeak), and a new hammock. Thanks for a great stay, Sharon!

Tree house

This was a gorgeous house. Beautiful inside and out. So much shade. A very quiet neighborhood. Sharon, the host, was wonderful to us all. She was attentive and very warming. Her house is fully stocked to make it a great experience. We enjoyed every moment spent in this house for the week. It was almost impossible to leave this property!

The property provided us with a unique space and is well equipped and located within easy reach of the various activities in Charlevoix. . The modern kitchen is well stocked for cooking there are and two excellent grills outside. There is ample furniture in and out and three bicycles, which were pressed into service. The location is very quiet and is home to some families of deer which appear regularly. It was a pleasure to ben in the space and highly recommend this property.

Very spacious

The house has a ton of space and just about everything you may need. The house has beach towels (nice, thick ones too), every kitchen item you could want, tons of blankets, just about everything. The beds are comfortable. The shower was perhaps the best feature in the house. The house is clean, as in vacuumed and everything was wiped clean (such as counters and the shower, etc.); however, it is dusty. There was quite a bit of dust built up on light fixtures, the TV, lamps, etc. The carpet could be replaced, which could help with the musty factor. It is probably a challenge to keep a house in the woods of this size from being musty. I have allergies to the musty-ness and dust, which may not be noticeable to others. Perhaps a good deep-clean is all that is needed. The school playground is super close, just through the woods. We walked to a Lake MI beach (about 2-3 blocks or so). Walking into town could be done, but not with children (it would be about a mile). If you have bikes (and the owner generously offers two adult bikes for use) then it would be very manageable and fun. The owner was kind and had the place ready for check-in.

Fantastic place!!

My family spent a week in Charlevoix in this great house! Sharon was so responsive the and check- in and check-out process was easy. The back yard is gorgeous with lots of trees and a family of deer visited often! There was plenty of room for my extended family of 12. The access to the Lake Michigan beach was a short walk and the town was also just a short walking distance so we didn’t have to worry about looking for parking very often. Loved this place and would definitely go back!!
