About this property
BEST LOCATION in CVX! 1.5 blocks from Lake MI Beach & DOWNTOWN CHARLEVOIX!
Two doors down from the Mushroom houses!!! Tucked in the center of Charlevoix, a home perfectly located between town and beach. Once you arrive, forget the car! Lake Michigan Beach Park is 1.5 blocks and the heart of downtown Charlevoix is 1.5 blocks! So easy for the whole family to get around, even children and grandparents!
More than a rental, this cozy home blends historic architectural detail with today's modern amenities. White plank ceilings, bead board covered walls and original restored floors add character. A new gas fireplace, standup shower, claw foot tub, wifi, cable, Weber grill, and fully stocked kitchen will make it easy to relax! A pretty view, directly across from beautiful Charlevoix library!
We want your stay to be peaceful and beautiful. You will have a very comfortable and aesthetically pleasing space with everything you need! A mix of local shop finds with artwork and bedding from Anthropologie :) You'll love the feel as soon as you walk in.
Three bedrooms upstairs to sleep seven in beds and a first floor daybed in the sunroom for the eighth person! We offer conveniences like first floor bathroom, washer and dryer, cable TV, high speed internet, Bose radio, fully equipped granite kitchen, new quilts and throws, Tempurpedic mattress for a perfect sleep, portable crib, beach towels, large cooler, huge beach wagon, shampoos, bath salts, and on and on. We think we've thought of it all to make packing light and your stay easy and great!
Parking is on the street right in front of the cottage, no driveway. We have a beautiful little front yard with a patio table and chairs to eat outside. The white wicker rocker is on the covered front porch. We also have a side deck with a Weber grill. There are 2 beautiful parks right directly across the street from us at the library!
We know how hard it is to plan a family vacation with all the time and research involved. If you are lucky enough to have found any of our cottages in downtown Charlevoix you do not need to look any further. We are our hardest critics (and have a big family to test them out!). From having the cleanest cottages and THE BEST cleaning staff on VRBO to having the most comfortable beds with high end bedding, best stocked kitchens and all around experience, there simply is not a better place to stay in Northern Michigan. All of our cottages in Charlevoix are occupied 100% of the time from mid May to October so please do not hesitate to book (early). We had many instances where guests waited a few hours to book and their week was taken in that short amount of time.
Here are the property numbers of our other homes if this one doesn't quite work for you (or if you need more than one place), just put the number in the search bar! 2626008, sleeps 3 2506724, sleeps 6 2488843, sleeps 4 2323815, sleeps 10 2064708, sleeps 6, 2000684, sleeps 12 906650, sleeps 8 7414247, sleeps 16

The home was clean and comfortable and as expected. We had a minor problem with one of the bathrooms and it was fixed within hours - their initiative. Hosts were easy to work with. Excellent location - within short walking distance to downtown, beach, sunset views in the mushroom homes. Would definitely stay there again!
Quaint, clean, comfortable, with everything we needed. Outdoor area with table chairs & portable fire pit. Walking distance to the beach and town.Great place to stay, highly recommended.
Over all a great house ! Well stocked with everything towels,nice dishes ,coffee ,cooking supplies, beach accessories ,soaps &detergents. Such easy walking everywhere!Lovely P.S. the 750 piece bird puzzle is missing pieces but had fun solving it .
As described, great location walk to everything. Host very responsive, nice area, would stay again. No crowds, not everything was open but enough to fill a few days! Close to petosky and Mackinac.
Comfortable cute and supplied the necessaries coffee paper products clean towels comfy beds AC etc. Lots of great hangout spaces in home, close to shops and lake.
We had a fantastic stay on Grant St. The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. We enjoyed walking to the beach or into town. Cant wait to visit again
Within walking distance from the beach and downtown. Great neighborhoods for walking. Great layout for visiting, cooking, laughing and spending time together. We had a great girls weekend. Highly recommend this place!
We were so pleased with the location of the property. It was short walk, about 5 minutes, to town and to the beach. Our kids loved the library and the library park across the street. The house was very clean.
This is our third time to Charlevoix and second summer in a row staying at this house. The location can’t be beat, as it is close to both downtown and the beach. Shawn does a great job maintaining the house and is always super responsive with questions and extremely accommodating for my family. We can’t wait to come back again.
The layout and location of this place could not have been better for our vacation. We had 7 people, including 2 kids and I liked how they had kids books and games available. Easy walk to town, Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix. The amenities are great and there is plenty of space outside to eat and hang out. We are already planning a return trip!
This was exactly what we expected, even more actually. So comfortable, beautifully furnished, well stocked and thoughtfully staged and supplied. Everything we needed was right there and available. While this was a working trip for us, we feel like we took a bit of vacation as well in this wonderful home. We will definitely stay here again should the opportunity arise!
