    Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been renting this home for a decade. We have enjoyed it but it has sadly fallen into ill repair and the cost is going higher each year. The concrete of the patio is continuing to sink leaving a sandbag to use for a step. The new railngs that were added are bungee strapped for stability.- rather tacky! Of the 2 faucets in the kitchen, only one works. We come for 2 weeks and Northern Michigan Escapes allows you one towel per person but doesn't provide sufficient laundry soap. They also do not provide other basic supplies like dishwasher detergent for your stay. For as much as we pay per week I feel taken advantage of. I have nothing against the owners but feel like the home is overpriced for the condition that it is in. We also did not start with a clean refrigerator. Food from the previous guest was there along with spills that didn't get cleaned up.

    We LOVED our stay at this property. If you have children, this place is a must. They have bunk room, paddle boards, kayaks and fishing pools. Since the property is in the Narrows, it's a no wake zone. Meaning the children can enjoy the water without the worry of speeding boats going by. It's also perfect to just sit on the dock and watch the parade of boats. Hot Tub and Solo Stove were nice additions. We cooked a lot at home and the kitchen had everything we needed plus a great grill. Overall, an exceptional property that we will visit again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We all had a wonderful time in Charlevoix and staying at Lake Escape helped make our time there even more memorable. The home was terrific for our family - the kitchen is spacious and well stocked, the bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and nice, the master suite was lovely. The patio served us well - especially the hot tub, fire pit and grill. The view is spectacular. We loved sitting in the dock, jumping in the lake, using the inner tubes, paddles boards and kayak! The location is perfect - only a short drive into town. And close to The Landing restaurant and Ironton Ferry. We highly recommend thisproperty!

    The property was extremely clean, comfortable and perfect for our family getaway. We haven’t slept that great in months! It’s a renovated, cozy once cabin turned lake home. The boys enjoyed the bunk beds and sledding in the yard.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family stayed here over Christmas Break 2019. We spent 5 peaceful evenings at this cozy, cottage style lake front home. We all slept until after 9am almost every morning which is rare for our family especially with young sons. The peacefulness of this place is unreal. The home was extremely clean and comfortable with all the amenities we needed for our stay. The home was a cottage that has been renovated, and additions which provided that old cottage feel, smell and comfort but space for our family and modern conveniences. The master bedroom is simply perfection! Two family (with tvs) rooms to allow for space and continued enjoyment. Plenty of yard room for the kids to place and the hot tub was icing on the cake! The neighbors were extremely friendly as well. We can't say enough about our trip. We will return! I can only imagine how beautiful it is in the summer.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this house for a family retreat based on what we saw on the website and the reviews of previous guests. The location is excellent, not far from Charlevoix and very private. There are neighbors on either side of the property, but we never felt that we were 'crowded.' The house has been recently remodeled/updated. Bathrooms are outstanding. The kitchen is spacious, and the center island provides enough space for all family members (we were six adults) to help prepare meals. The family room/s are outstanding. One was our favorite for watching late-night movies while the other was incredible to sit in the morning drinking coffee and chatting. The outside garden is incredible. The yard is professionally maintained. The deck provides a perfect place to relax, grill, and eat meals while enjoying the incredible views. The hot tub is a bonus we enjoyed every evening. The deck and boathouse are perfect. We enjoyed sunbathing, fishing and kayaking. The bottom of the lake is sandy and resembles a beach with crystalline water, better than a swimming pool! In summary, we would love to go back to this house; it exceeded our expectations.
