Beyond thankful for Lynn and Charlie

This stay was amazing. First, the home is warm, accommodating, clean and quiet. The property is well manicured with tons of space to run and play. We had a beautiful fire which was already stacked and ready to go. Beds were comfortable, showers were spacious, kitchen stocked. Second, we had the weirdest experience of car troubles. But Charlie was ready to not only allow a mechanic to come and work on the van, but shared an air compressor and tire patches to ensure everything was ready for us to set sail home the next day. We can’t thank this couple enough for sharing their space with our family. It could have been a vacation wrought with stress, but instead, we were relaxed knowing everything was going to be ok. You never want vehicle trouble on vacation, but I know the universe put us in the right place at the right time.

Excellent

A great place to stay for our family gathering to celebrate a wedding. The gravel road could be an issue for some vehicles, depending on weather conditions. Lots of substantial rocks on part of the journey into town. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped, in a peaceful location. We enjoyed listening to a couple of great horned owls and saw a flock of snow geese fly directly overhead. Beautiful!

Family Wedding

We stayed for our son’s wedding. Everything was very warm and inviting. Our granddaughters enjoyed playing outside in the large backyard. There was plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 kids. The house was very clean and had lots of books puzzles and games to keep everyone entertained. Will definitely stay again if we are in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Charlie and Lynn Unruh

Charlie and I, Lynn that is, had always wanted to be in the vacation rental business. We had the opportunity to purchase the only other house on our property and decided it would make a great get away for folks. The two houses are not visible to each other so privacy is assured. We have now been in the business 18 years and still enjoy meeting all the new people.

Why they chose this property

NorthShore GuestHouse was originally moved on to the property by Charlie's brother. He planned on living there but it never worked out for him. It was sold outside the family but now it is back in the family and has morphed into NorthShore GuestHouse.

What makes this property unique

Our nearest neighbor is one mile away. We really enjoy the peace and quiet out here and think you will too. We are also in a recreation area; Marion Reservoir. The lake is beautiful and good for fishing as well.

Pets not allowed at NorthShore. If you have a small dog that doesn't shed we can talk about it. If you have a larger dog we can talk about them can staying in the outdoor kennel.
