This is a hidden gem. It was perfect for my husband and I to celebrate our 40th anniversary together. The cabin was spotless and well equipped. It is a peaceful place to unwind and enjoy nature as well. You won’t be disappointed if you stay here. Thank you Allison. We hope to come again.

Perfect weekend getaway!

My husband and I enjoyed a quiet and relaxing weekend in Charlevoix to recharge after a very busy few months with moving. We loved the quiet location, the cute cottage, and waking up to SNOW in the morning! Would definitely travel here again!

This was the perfect little cottage for our babymoon/anniversary trip. It's the perfect size for 2 people but could easily handle a kid or two with the pullout couch. The cabin was super clean, well appointed, and met all of our needs. It is close to Charlevoix, Petoskey, and East Jordan so there's always something to do or somewhere to eat. We would absolutely stay here again!

We had a magical two-week stay in this lovely cottage on a placid lake 10 minutes from Charlevoix. The cottage was thoughtfully appointed and well-stocked and the access to the lake was perfect for us. We would definitely book this cottage another time.

It was amazing! The cottage was so cute and cozy and the waterfront was peaceful and relaxing. The neighborhood was quiet. I was able to have friends and family visit and we had a great time around the firepit while watching beautiful sunsets!

Cute cottage!

We enjoyed a peaceful week at the cottage. It is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to make our meals. The view of the lake is very nice. We drove to Petoskey State Park, Mission Point Lighthouse, Mackinac Island, and the Mushroom Houses in Charlevoix.

Great spot for a getaway

My husband and toddler and I stayed here for five nights and had a great time! The location and cabin are beautiful and super peaceful. We would definitely return. The only things we weren't prepared for was that the washer and dryer were several cabins away, not in this cabin, so we didn't do any laundry. Overall a great experience!

Perfecto!

We asked to stay longer! Just a few days up north to see tree colors and make day trips around Charlevoix & Petoskey... The Cottage was spotless and very well appointed, and the unique setting and history just made it even better. We will be returning next year!

Cute, peaceful cottage.

Everything we wanted & needed was there. Alison was an excellent communicator. Very comfortable atmosphere. Very happy with our stay. The only down side was the cleanliness of the cottage. The floor was dirty, there were cob webs that were more than I expected and we killed 3 tics!

We had a wonderful stay at the Cottage. Close proximity to all of the attractions in Charlevoix (Round Lake, Lake Michigan, and Lake Charlevoix). The Cottage was cozy and had everything we needed. Beach access to Nowland Lake was also perfect for the dog, and we enjoyed the firepit at nighttime. Any and all of our questions were quickly answered throughout the stay. We will definitely stay again! Thank you!

Peaceful cottage

We were in town for a family wedding. This was a perfect cottage for my husband, myself , and adult son that was 5 mins. from the wedding venue . The grocery store and town of Charlevoix is also 10 mins away. The cottage had everything we needed and very comfortable. The cottage is located on a small lake and is such a peaceful and beautiful location. I would like to go back again and just bring a book and relax.

Pleasant stay with peaceful lake view

We enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage. It was an easy drive into Charlevoix and to all our vacation adventures. The cottage had a pleasant country location in a small private neighborhood with a sunset view from the windows and patio of the peaceful lake. Our children were very comfortable on the pull-out sofa bed. Alison was proactive in reaching out to see if we had any needs and to ensure we were enjoying our stay, and quickly responsive to any questions. It was apparent that a lot of care had been taken to equip the home and make it comfortable for guests. The cottage was very clean and we felt relaxed and at home. The stars are also beautiful at night!

Adorable Cabin Retreat

This trip was incredible. The pictures of the cabin are accurate, but unless you are really there to see it for yourself, to enjoy this little piece of heaven, only then will you understand this find away from home. I wished for snow & was not disappointed. Sitting on the couch, looking out onto the lake, whether it was snowing or a perfect sunset, we couldnt get enough of it. Great location to all the quaint towns, Charlevoix, Boyne City, Bay Harbor. I found more walking trails, filled with nature, met a chipmunk & several beautiful deers. This place goes down as one of my best trips & find ever. Im still thinking of my time spent here and counting down until we can return again. Thank you for sharing your place.
