One of the reviewers mentioned the traffic noise but we live close to an expressway so the noise didn't bother us at all and is to be expected since this is on a busy highway. The beds were so comfortable, this is the first time no one has complained about their mattress! LOL This was centrally located and enabled us to hit all the areas we wanted like Petoskey, Traverse City, Mackinaw Island, Charlevoix, etc.. Excellent communication with Elyse. Thank you for letting us stay!

I knew this was going to be awesome from the start with how responsive the owner was. She listed off tons of things that were provided and eased my worry with having to pack up my whole house to stay here. This house had EVERTHING provided. Toilet paper and paper towels for the whole week, paper plates, Ziploc bags, foil, laundry soap....you name it. We stayed in the downstairs part the whole time and it was the most comfortable and cozy VRBO I have ever rented. The fireplace and walk-in closet were a nice touch and the set up was perfect for me, my husband, and our two dogs. We got lucky with having no neighbors, which might have been awkward with the closeness of the two smaller cabins. The firepit (wood provided) and outdoor heater (propane provided) were great on chilly nights. The location of the house was perfect for taking day trips to nearby towns. The only con about this house is the closeness to the street. It is on a busy street with cars going 50 mph. It might just be this time of year, but if you’re looking for a quiet morning/evening to relax outside, you might not get a chance. That didn’t spoil our time, and we knew we weren’t going to be in the middle of the woods, so overall it wasn’t a game changer. The owner was awesome and I would definitely recommend this rental.

We had a wonderful week in the Charlevoix area. This was our first time staying in the area - and was a great cottage to start us off!!! Elyse, our host, had mentioned we would have front row seat to East Jordan’s fireworks show on our first night there down by the water! She was right we had great seats and saw a great fireworks show!!! What s way to kick off the week. The cottage was lovely - well stocked with things you could think of and wouldn’t think of needing. For instance we always forget our portable speakers - but we were covered with one that was there and available!! It was our go to entertainment to the afternoons and nights spent on the deck playing Golf the card game! Half way through we all commented on the sheets and towels - and a quick check in with Elyse had us promising to head to Costco upon our return to pick up some new towels and sheets! It was a lovely week - great location to head to so many spots and take in northern Michigan! We had everything we needed to cook and have fun! Thank you Elyse for making our first stay in the Charlevoix area so memorable!!!

What a lovely charming and well-maintained summer home! My husband and I stayed for with our dog Junior and we would absolutely re-book. The home is incredibly well stocked with anything that you need for your stay, you just need groceries which can easily be picked up at the grocery store in East Jordan, or at the Meyer just 20 minutes away in Petoskey. Everything was impeccably well cleaned and organized. Location is centrally located for day trips to many surrounding areas. Host is incredibly responsive and quick to respond to any questions regarding check in or anything needed during our stay. Wonderful!!!

This property is clean and well maintained. Great outdoor living space to eat and relax outside. Dock provides a great launching area for paddle boards! Quiet area, close to places we wanted to see, yet out of the hustle and bustle when we wanted to relax. Neighbors were friendly, helpful, and unobtrusive…neighboring properties did not obscure our lake view or limit access.

We had an amazing time at this wonderful property in East Jordan directly on the water. Elyse was a great and accommodating host for my family to come and have relaxing and enjoyable vacation. She gave us additional insight to the area and events occurring the week of our trip. I would recommend the place to anyone that wants to spend time in East Jordan

This was our second time staying at this property because it was perfect for us the first time. The owner anticipated all our needs and also had a high chair for the baby. The house is very clean and contains everything you would need (except food, haha). The view is beautiful and peaceful; the fire pit perfect for those cool evenings; deck is large enough for all and safe for little ones. We will definitely be back!

I can’t say enough about this experience. It was the first time spending a Christmas “at home” since I moved away 10 years ago. This home was the absolute perfect place to be able to enjoy every moment! Having 2 kitchens, and 2 separate living rooms was beyond convenient, the 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are beautiful and the HUGE fluffy bath towels were icing on the cake! We have a small dog, and the dog run was so safe and secure. The lake views are amazing! Elyse was so responsive, and caring, and made everything perfect. We can’t wait to return in the summer!!
