Nancy was the most amazing host. We stayed here for our wedding and she helped make sure everything was perfect for us. She even brought our flowers in that were delivered early on the day of our arrival. The location was great, near downtown but also a block from the lake and hiking trails. This is a must visit place!

This cottage is the perfect little get-away! The photos don’t do it justice - it’s super cute and plenty spacious for our family. The 3 minute walk to the beach and 5 minute drive into town make it the perfect place to do all the “up north” things. We will be back!

This is our 8 th stay here. We come every year. The host is very attentive to our needs. They always respond to our needs. They also leave snacks for us every stay. The house is in a super location to Lake Michigan ( walking a 1000 feet) to waters edge. Downtown is a 5 minute drive at most. I would highly suggest this house to anyone who wants a prefect getaway .

Quaint cottage on the lake

This was our first visit to Charlevoix and we could not have picked a more perfect place to stay. The cottage is perfect....very clean and located close to the lake . Perfect place to watch sunsets and only a five minute drive to downtown Charlevoix. Definitely a 5 star location!!!

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!!

Absolutely adorable.

This cottage is well appointed and very well cared for. I found several nice little touches left by the host. The home is in a very quite neighborhood and super close to Lake Michigan. We stayed for a ski trip, but can't wait to return in the summer time.

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!
