Great Fishing Trip Cabin

Plenty of room to park full-size truck and 21' bass boat, outdoor plug-in, the property was very quiet and secure. The house is clean. We had such a great time and will stay there again in the future.

Beautiful lakeside stay

We really enjoyed our time here. The lake was perfect, the kids enjoyed kayaking and the campfire pit. My senior parents enjoyed the large deck. The view is gorgeous and the ambiance of the cottage is lovely. The water quality caught us off guard, you will definitely want to buy water or use the britas they provide or else you’ll get a mouthful of sand. Also the barn door upstairs was a little tough to use. Otherwise we had a great stay!

Great Weekend Get-Away

We had a great time this weekend in Charlevoix. The house was gorgeous, property was very pretty and of course the water being right there is such a perk and it was clear & beautiful. Beds were comfortable and house was clean. We were five minutes from Castle Farms where my niece was married so that was also a major perk. Booking, checking in and out and the stay itself was great. Thank you.

Great place to stay!

Loved the location and views. It was peaceful and quiet. We stayed there for the weekend for a wedding we were going to. It worked out perfect. Definitely would come back and recommend to friends. Be sure to bring bottled water, water from faucet very hard/irony.

Nice quiet getaway

The house was very clean. Linens were dated and more blankets for the beds would have been nice. The house had everything you would need to stay. The lake and large deck were fantastic.

Peaceful getaway

The cabin was great. It was clean, kitchen had everything we needed, having wifi was nice. Everything was as described. Host quick to respond, check in easy. We used the fire pit, no wood, but we found some for sale in town. Loved that kayaks and row boats were there. Downtown Charlevoix and lake michigan beaches only about 10-15 minutes away. We had a great stay!!
