We had a wonderful stay in this quaint cottage in Lake Michigan. All the toys and sunsets included. Well organized and very clean. We had a great time and hope to visit again!

We will be back!
This home was spotlessly clean and perfectly appointed. The beach down the road was perfect. Our host Christine was very accommodating with our requests. We will be back.
Perfect location & home for 6 adults. The home has everything you could need & more! Host went out of the way making sure we had everything we could need for a wonderful stay! The beds are very comfortable & the home was spotless. The location is perfect, close enough to town but also quiet & private. We all enjoyed Morning & evening walks with all the deer. We have stayed in many home rentals and this was by far the best.
I rented this house for my parents for a week in September. I hadn't planned on visiting but a funeral brought me to the midwest - so I came up for a few days. The house really has it all for a relaxing week on Lake Michigan. The views are spectacular. The house is incredibly comfortable. I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy the firepit, the kayaks, the hammock and just reading on the screened in porch. It's a really great spot to hang with friends or for a family trip.

Amazing view and comfy stay
This is the second time we have rented this property. We're always so pleased with how clean everything is and our host's work to make our stay the best! Christine sent us just enough texts before our arrival to ensure things went smoothly and was available by text when we had questions. The view of Lake Michigan is out almost every window. Our favorite place was the screened-in porch. Morning coffee on the master bedroom veranda overlooking the lake can't compare to being anywhere else.

Norwood Lake House
Such a beautiful nice clean home with the best view in America!
We came up here to have a small wedding ceremony with family (thanks Covid) and enjoy a long weekend. The house was adorable and so peaceful and we couldn’t get over how beautiful the view was! Christine was very helpful and friendly during our stay. It had everything we needed and more and we definitely plan on returning! Thanks for everything.

We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. The house was immaculate and well-stocked — many kitchen pans/utensils, comfortable beds/linens, and everything you might need to enjoy the outdoors. Christine, our host, was kind, accommodating, and responsive. Beautiful views of the lake in a quiet neighborhood. The wifi wasn’t super fast, and our cell signals weren’t very strong out here… but unplugging was on our agenda. We loved it! Highly recommended.

Truly peaceful on Lake Michigan
The house is in great condition, the furniture comfortable the kitchen had everything I needed. The view is very pleasant in a semi-private setting. I’ll be back soon!!!
The sunsets were magnificent over Lake Michigan with a view of the Leelanau Peninsula . A quiet perfect setting for a painter or just those who wish to taken in the beauty. Close to Charlevoix and all it's restaurants and shopping. We loved it.
We loved this property. The home is immaculate and perfectly outfitted with everything we needed. Beautiful views of the lake throughout the house. The house sits on a bluff right on Lake Michigan. We had a beautiful, snowy winter getaway. Highly recommend.
Very Peaceful and such a very beautiful water view.
Very clean and beautiful and comfortable furniture.
Well equipped with all your needs.
I would definitely stay here again.
Loved every thing about the Lake House.
This house was a beautiful home in a perfect location on the lake. Everything was wonderfully clean and felt very comfortable for the family. We hope to return again!
Excellent home for a summer vacation with kids. The beach is close with easy access. Great views!!

Beautiful Lake House
A great vacation stay at a beautiful well appointed house on a picturesque Lake Michigan location. Views are stunning, particularly the sunsets. Great outdoor space for family activities and a lovely screened porch. Quiet street and peaceful setting to relax. Beds are very comfortable, the kitchen spacious for eating in and the hosts were helpful and responsive. Thanks for a memorable stay!
Lake Michigan is really the star of the show here. The house is made for lake watching. The owner was easy to work with and Christine, our hostess, was delightful. We would definitely rent again.
This property is amazing and exactly as described. The house was stocked with everything we needed and more. The cleanliness, décor, and panoramic views made for a perfect relaxing retreat. Though the house is very secluded, it's only a short drive to the Town of Charlevoix and Torch Lake. We highly suggest the Little Traverse Wheelway, Torch Lake Café, and Antrim Golf Course which are all nearby. We will definitely be returning next year!
Our family rented this home during COVID pandemic for a relaxing getaway. The home is not only beautiful, it was clean and supplied EVERYTHING we needed and more. We have rented several times through VRBO and this home has by far been the best!! From the cleanliness to the spaciousness for 6 people, the kayaks and all the indoor and outdoor games available, we took advantage of it all. It was quiet, we enjoyed our morning and evenings in the screened in porch, ate dinner outside and enjoyed a bonfire every night.
We will definitely rent here again in the future and plan to share with anyone planning to travel to this area. Thank you to Christine, who cares for the home, for all you did, even down to fresh cut flowers.
The property was incredible. Amazing views overlooking Lake Michigan right in the backyard. Inside the house was also extremely nice and very spacious. Christine, the property manager, was extremely helpful and responsive throughout our entire stay. We had an amazing stay and wish it could have been longer!
