The spacious and open living room features a large sectional couch, gas fireplace, and plenty of windows providing ample natural light and views of Lake Michigan and the Leelanau Peninsula.

The adjacent dining area features a large table set for 8, and is situated next to a huge window, from which you can enjoy stunning lake views.

Head down to the basement to find a game room, which includes a full-sized pool table, and foosball table. There is also a large, plush couch in the space, perfect for relaxing between some spirited games.

When you’re ready for some fresh air, head to one of the house’s spacious decks that comes thoughtfully complete with a porch swing, a charcoal grill, and table seating. There is also easy access to the lake and a lush yard, perfect for outdoor activities or a campfire overlooking the lake.

    Beautiful property and house. Perfect for our family of 4 and my husband’s brothers family of 4. Just a short walk up to Norwood beach and close to many activities by driving. We hope to stay here again!

    We had a lovely time. The home was beautiful, well kept and clean. The view and proximity to the water were wonderful. For us, the best part was the proximity to so many places- we spent time on the Lake Michigan beaches, downtown Charlevoix, a day on torch lake and a day in traverse city! After we left, one of our party left a bag with his laptop in it- the owners, even though they were not in town, were so kind and helpful in coordinating getting it back to us, so we are very grateful for that.

    We had a great time at the property. It was spacious and the views of the lake were amazing. Downside is getting down to the water -the steps were steep which was not easy for smaller children or the elderly. Also the master bedroom gets very hot on warm days and the AC doesn't quite work in that room (the rest of the house was able to get cool). Definitely in need of some upgrades including some easy fixes like new mattresses, bedding. But overall we enjoyed our experience.

    We enjoyed our stay at this property very much. Beautiful views of lake ( although we had rough weather for all 5 days of our stay). Loved the open up north feel of property and we all had our private spaces to retreat to. The large kitchen table was the hub of activity through much of our stay - beautiful! The owner was very responsive to a special request we had once we were staying there. Reasoning for 4 stars and not 5 -Only negative is pricing. We booked this rental last November for an out of town extended family get a way. As time got closer to our stay, I noticed the price dropped dramatically along with the exorbitant extra fees. I contacted both property management, VRBO and owner. Did not hear back from VRBO and property management until day before we were to arrive. All would not budge on pricing. This was not what we expected, as we were not staying quite at peak season and as it got closer to peak, pricing was so much lower. I may think twice prior to booking again, even though property was very nice and ideal size - due to feeling taken advantage of.

    Perfect location to explore the area- Charlevoix, petowy, Mackinac Island, Traverse City, Gish Town, Sleeping Bear Dunes. Come back in the evening for a peaceful spot at the house! Everything you need is here. Although the water was high, it was easy to walk on the rocks and get in the water to look for stones! Highly recommend!
