Rental could use some care
We booked a 5 night stay but left after 3 nights. The home itself was superficially clean but under the kitchen table and under other furniture not clean. Carpet in bedrooms with old stains. Ceilings had old water and leak stains. There were ants on the kitchen counters near the toaster and coffee maker also in the bathroom. With more care the rental could be so nice. Outside is overgrown with weeds and shrubs and uncomfortable to take our dog out. Windows were covered with dead bugs. The water view is pretty but not swimmable, rocks and algae. If you do chose to go, bring bug spray. Looks like it was well loved at one time but now just doing the minimum.

Family vacation
We were looking for a place last minute and found this gem available. I was hesitant at first given the negative review. I’m so happy we gave this place a chance! The “smell” was simply the up north home by the water smell. For anyone who’s traveled up north in Michigan you’re already familiar with that musty smell and it was not bad at all. The beach may not be for little ones (no sand) but it was the ideal spot for us. My 10, 15 & 17 year old kids had an amazing time rock hunting. This water property is not the sit in the sand and swim all day. It’s for the more adventurous family that enjoys bonding over rock hunting and wading in to the beautiful water (water shoes from local store were perfect). The peaceful quiet privacy was the perfect getaway. Slept amazing in the very comfortable beds. Everything you could need was available. We cannot wait to come back!

Classic Northern Michigan Lake Cottage
My family had a great time staying in Northport! The house was a classic northern Michigan cottage. Nothing special or fancy. But it was functional and close to many attractions. Great beaches within 10-15 minutes, lake in the back was beautiful and relaxing. Woods was such a peaceful setting. Not the best location for swimming, lots of rocks and no beach or dock. The house is older and could use some updates but all in all very nice house in a great location!

Crisp Cottage
We had an amazing week at the lakeside cottage. The open feel of the house due to all of the windows was awe inspiring. We woke with sunrises over the water and moon rises tucked us in. Magical!

Lovely Location, Living Smell Was Not Expected!
As stated during phone conversations with the rental management company, we will not be leaving terribly negative feedback - only honest. The rental company that managed the home was cooperative and polite; they were accessible and responsive. The location of the home was lovely however the living smell within the home was not. It was disgusting - beyond musty or wet, it was sick with black mold and a dank smell of a biological spore. It physically made us sick. We drove 5 hours to discover unbreathable air in the home that burned our eyes and caused our asthma to flare immediately. It was a huge disappointment (for which the rental management company profusely apologized for). Our money was fully refunded (eventually). There is an unfinished basement that is dreadfully unsafe for pets and small children; the listing does not include this information. The trees block the view of the lake (as do the shrubs and overgrown landscape) and there are other strange buildings on the property - again not safe for curious children. The beach in nonexistent; all rock due to current water levels. Check/call with the rental company prior to booking this rental to confirm issues have been fixed, remediated and updated.
