Wonderful stay!

The place was just the right size for our family. Beautiful quiet location!! Great price point as well for being so close to the lake. I’m very picky when it comes to cleanliness but this place was very clean. Nancy was a great host and even left us some little goodies that my boys enjoyed. We would definitely love to stay again.

Perfect bliss

This little gem is our secret quiet space. Always so clean, just the perfect size and a tub to melt in. After we relax a couple days, plenty to see and do in the area. We found a new state park to explore, enjoyed a local resturant and wallowed in the big comfy bed all the next morning...see you again next fall!!

Beautiful beach get-away

What an excellent experience. Host was very thoughtful and made our stay great. The cottage was clean and full of little extras for us to use. The beach was only a five minute walk from the cottage and had trails to hike around. 5 stars for the host and property. Was a great way for my wife and I to spend our first year wedding anniversary.

Excellent Lake Michigan Location

Everything is here for a relaxing Northern Michigan getaway. Enjoyed the whirlpool tub, fireplace and comfy king bed. The trails nearby and lake views are amazing. Nancy was super responsive to any questions we had. She has thought of everything as far as details and amenities-coffee, water, kitchen items, etc. We stayed in late October and are looking forward to a summer visit!

Charlevoix Cottage

Such a nice cottage, well-kept and clean. The kitchen was fully equipped and the host left coffee, snacks, candy, etc for the guests. Plenty of linens, towels, even firewood (as we stayed during the winter). A beautiful location, quiet neighborhood, about two minutes from the lake and adjacent to a park with hiking trails, deer everywhere. Overall, a very pleasant stay!

Peaceful solitude!

Adorable cozy cottage in a VERY quiet neighborhood. The home was very clean and very well accommodated (paper products, soaps, a few small goodies and plenty of coffee options to get us through our first couple mornings) comfortable beds and great communication with host. We really enjoyed the short walk to the beautiful Mt Mcsauba beach, hiking the trails, awesome sunset views with multiple vantage points (awesome view from top of Mt Mcsauba!) we used the beach chairs, beach umbrella, cooler, and beach wagon which made our long beach days excellent! We really appreciated the host allowing us to use the garage 110 volt outlet to keep our electric car continuously charging at night. Hope to visit again someday!

Wonderful

We’ve rented many houses in and around Charlevoix in the past, but this house was by far the best one. The kitchen is large and well equipped, comfortable beds in both bedrooms, a nice jacuzzi tub, seriously, this house has it all. We enjoyed being so close to Mt. McSauba nature preserve, we saw deer every morning out the front window. We took evening walks in the neighborhood with our 6 year old. We went to the beach several times, Castle Farms, Friske’s Orchard,, we even climbed Mt. McSauba for a beautiful sunset. I had trouble with the washer and Nancy was over within 5 minutes if me texting her. I could go on and on about how great this house is . We are certainly going to try and rent this house next year.
