Lilly on Lake Charlevoix

Good property, great lake access

Good - amazing bed, very responsive, allowed us to ship to home, close to the launch, they left stuff for s’mores, and firewood is stocked. The Meh (we didn’t care, but some might)- cellar room clearly wasn’t cleaned. Late check d/t cleaners running late and had minimal time to clean and did bare minimum. Previous renters likely left the doors wide open leaving an excessive amount of dead mayflies in the dinning area. There was also hair in tub, ants &earwigs, chunks of hair/fur on the rug, dirty stove, Grill not maintained & we had to clean a grease spill on the deck to use. Paddle boat is non functioning. No screen for the front door. Given minimal notice they needed to enter the unit for internet.- Why we won’t rent again- inaccurate pictures, not able to park at the dock Options are mooring ball (they do have kayaks), setting up your own sand anchors, or bring a large inflatable fender- A security concern- due to a forgotten plumbing issue with the hose we used to clean the deck/grill they needed to get someone out there. We weren’t sure when they were coming so left the back door unlocked, but they instead gave the code to the plumber & didn’t know how to change it. When concern was expressed the response was a bit flippant. Just because it is insignificant to you does not mean it’s not significant to us & does not change how we felt. We left it cleaner than when we arrived, but left the bugs, because - no. Watch for water contamination - swimmer itch is present.

We had a really nice time. The place was beautiful.

Very much older architecture and small, but was clean and nice for small people. We used it as an overflow house, so we didn’t spend much time there. Tidy and cozy.
