Home Away From Home

Perfect little family retreat. Great location!!!! Not to far a drive from the city bustle, and right next to a beautiful forested beach and dunes. The kids had a great time exploring outside. They also enjoyed all the board games inside. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. House had most of the amenities we needed. Shower was walk in. Our family may have done better with a bath tub if we were staying longer, one thing to consider with little kids, babies. The beds were springs which we haven’t slept on in awhile and were kind of hard to adjust to, not the coziest. Outside deck and yard were a good size, a few large holes on the hill may want to be wary of, especially if your kids like running up and down hills! Overall we loved it.

Bright and sunny

Review by Kathleen E.
We had a great time during our 3 nights here. It was a short walk to the beach at the end of the road and about a 10-15 minute walk through the park to the big beach and sand dunes. The cottage was very comfortable. The wifi was occasionally good but it repeatedly dropped off while we tried to use it. The firepit was great, but the chairs near it were wobbly.

Kathleen thank you for your review and feedback. We are so glad that you had a great time, and enjoyed the location and the home. We are sorry that the Wifi was spotty! Thank you for letting us know about the chairs as well. We will definitely check those out and have them fixed. We would love the opportunity to help you with future getaways up north!

adequate house, great location

Review by Scott D.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would rent this house again. It is an older house and shows its age, both inside and out. Single bathroom is somewhat small and narrow. The best feature is its location directly across street from nature preserve with trails and path leading to nearby Lake Michigan. There is also a nice resting area at the end of the dead end street with two benches.

Awesome property

Review by Seth T.
The property on Mcsauba was amazing. We used the large property and fire pit, and love to be in walking distance from trails and Lake Michigan. Plenty of room to park our boat and trailer. Kitchen and bedrooms were nice.

Great location, we had fun. BBQ wouldn't heat up so we had to cook steaks inside. Kitchen not well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils

Thank you for your review Kim, I wish you would have reached out to me when you were at the house and I would have troubleshooted the grill issues or if nothing else, loaned you another. I stopped to check it after I read this review and had no problems with it lighting up. So Im not sure if maybe the propane was out or just not turned on at the tank. Unfortunately there was another guest between your stay and my looking at the grill, so can determine if it just needed a a refill tank or not. Regardless, I am happy you enjoyed the location and your time with family. Terri, NME

Peaceful getaway!

Review by Mary S.
We really enjoyed our stay in this cute little house. It was the perfect size for our family of four. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The beach view at the end of the road offered a great place for some mediation time, while the dunes beach- just about 7 minutes walk to the water- was great for family time. The downtown of Charlevoix was easily accessible for jet ski rentals and evening dinners. We opened the windows and french doors and used the ceiling fan, and we didn't miss the air conditioning. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a great review! So happy that you enjoyed your vacation! I agree, this is one of my favorite locations! So very close to a great park and beach, yet close enough to enjoy downtown as well! Look forward to working with you next year as your plan your next vacation in Northern Michigan!

McSauba Cottage

We enjoyed our stay in beautiful CHX! The cottage on Mt. McSauba Rd. was terrific. It is nestled in a peaceful location, just steps from the woods, sand dunes, and Lake Michigan beach access. Our teenagers liked biking into town daily and having bonfires at night. Ruth (Northern Mich. Escapes) met us at the house and showed us everything we needed to know. She was very responsive.
