Huge house with a great view. The house is old but charming.

We had our wedding party stay at the house for our wedding weekend. It was the absolute perfect location to be able to walk downtown or enjoy the views right from the porch. The house is old so it has it quirks but we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate with our friends and family.

The location was very good for our family reunion. Some suggestions. Put full screens on the upstairs windows. Too many small lake flies (looked like small mosquitoes) got in through the screen inserts to the double-hung windows - freaked out my granddaughters. The upstairs Lake Room water pressure is incredibly low, and the sink/shower need upgrading to be usable. Had to go to another room.

The house was quirky. Very old The plumbing was shaky in some bedrooms. Many beds were very uncomfortable. The refrigerator in main kitchen was broken most of the stay. Garbage was piled up in front of the house and never removed

Allison went above and beyond to help us with my daughter’s dream wedding. The wedding party stayed at the property. They did yoga by the lake at sunrise to start the wedding day. It is a beautiful location and charming house.

Charlevoix is a place I have always called my second home as both of my parents grew up there, and both sets of my grandparents live there. This is a beautiful house with lots of space! We loved that each person/couple had their own bathroom (which was important to us). Unfortunately, we were there for two funerals that we had to attend in the same weekend. In other words, it was the best place we could’ve stayed at so we could all be together through all of that. The location is perfect! Walking distance from one end of town to the other! We would definitely stay here again!

Everyone really enjoyed the historic home with its awesome location, gorgeous view of Lake Michigan and character of the house. 11 bedrooms with there own baths was great. The 2 kitchens and dining areas were really nice for everyone to spread out. Beautiful porch on the front and nice deck by the grill in the back. We wished there was a book, photos or some mention of the history of the house. It was inspiration for our 7 teenagers to create a murder mystery movie we all enjoyed. We had a couple small issues with plumbing and electrical but they were handled very quickly, all was good! Would definitely rent it again for a large group!

We were a group of 6 adults. It was a great property with plenty of rooms for privacy as well as group gatherings. If only the weather had cooperated more we had made better use of the outdoor spaces as the views were just spectacular. Walking 3 blocks to downtown and 100 feet to the end of the block to see the water and sunsets was just great.

This large home was perfect to host the family of both the bride and groom. We loved being all together, with sufficient space to relax, walk the city, and enjoy the spectacular sunsets over Lake Michigan. The place has so much character. The managers were responsive to my questions, which I appreciated. About the only negative thing I could say is water pressure got a bit low as folks were getting ready for the wedding. But there was always hot water (tankless?).

We hosted my Bachelorette party here with a group of family and friends. The location was amazing and the house was perfect! Everyone had their own bathroom, and everything felt very connected. We had so much fun!
4.0
The size of home, number bedrooms and bathrooms, proximity to downtown, size and orientation of the porch and view of Lake Michigan - all outstanding. Similar to other reviews I not give it five stars for the following reasons - for a house that can accommodate 20 people, the size (way too small) and related lack of amenities of the kitchen , the mattresses were not great, cable channels were very limited and, at times of high use, the water pressure suffered (understandable, but some folks were frustrated).
Though we did not have any significant operational issues, the property manager was available and very communicative.

Hidden Gem in Charlevoix
The property was an older home that was built in the 1800's. It had so much character and was very homie. There was plenty of space for a large group of people and we definitely didn't feel on top of each other. We enjoyed sitting on the porch for morning coffee and an evening glass of wine. The view of lake Michigan was fantastic. The walk into Charlevoix was only a couple of blocks. The home owners were very attentive and responded to our questions quickly.

Pros: location location location. More than enough space for everyone there(8 adults). Great views of the lake and very VERY quiet neighborhood. A 5 min or less walk to all the shops in town. Had an issue with one of the showers not having hot water, but the owners had a repairman to look into it a few hours after being informed.
Cons: got lost a few times in the house. Honestly that’s not that big an issue.
We would absolutely stay here again if the chance comes up.

Mostly appropriate for our needs and the family had fun
When staying with a large group of family members of different ages it’s great to be able to spread out. Great location for age appropriate activities for little kids to adults. The sunsets are another plus and the common areas were great for congregating. Also nice to have a back yard that was private. On the down side more outdoor seating is needed, the grill and range were pretty sketchy (but they did mostly work)and some bathrooms were not that clean.

Speier family reunion
better than we hoped: access to Lake Michigan water! Lots of bedrooms for our big group. Friendly staff. Add some wastebaskets and a bit more patio furniture and you're golden!

Great Location in a wonderful town
The Charlevoix property is a historic property, with rooms and bathrooms for everyone. Each bedroom in the former bed & breakfast has its own bathroom with either a shower or a tub.
The three common areas throughout the property allowed everyone to gather or find space for themselves. The three refrigerators helped plan meals for our group. The large property has so many spaces to be in, our large extended family loved it. The location cannot be beat, with a short walk to downtown Charlevoix. The view from the front patio is excellent. The property manager and maintenance manager were great and quick to respond to us when we had questions.

Friend's Wedding Weekend
The house was a perfect fit for our large group of friends who came into town for a wedding. Everyone got their own room and the location couldn't be beat. We were 25 yards from Lake Michigan and walking distance to all the bars and restaurants in town. I would highly recommend the house for a large group or multiple families.
