We’ve stayed here several times, and it’s always a fantastic experience. The location is perfect—an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The front porch is our favorite place to relax with coffee in the morning or unwind in the evening. We always enjoy our time here and look forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

This property is in a great location. Very walkable and has “cottage charm”. It feels like a step back in time but the hosts have done a good job supplying all the extras a guest will need. The online description was well represented. We came for a wedding and it met our needs.

About the host

Hosted by Marty & Kerry Mullane

Host profile image
Spent years vacationing in northern Michigan as a child. We vacationed in this home in 2014 with our lab, Marley. When it went up for sale we partnered with a long time friend who lives in the area and snapped it up. This is a charming home on Park Ave surrounded by Earl Young 'mushroom' homes. We plan to keep this home for many years to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Located in the City of Charlevoix this charming early 1900’s cottage is located on the corner of Sherman and Park Avenue. Enjoy the views of Lake Michigan. Stroll 1 block to the library(a wonderful place offering concert & playgrounds). ), or the beach with playground. Take the dog for a walk through the pet friendly park directly across the street .In the evening enjoy movies and concerts in East Park on Round Lake just a a few minutes walk away.

What makes this property unique

We spend a great deal of time on the enclosed front porch. Perfect place to read a book, catch up with old friends while sharing a morning coffee or evening glass of wine! The large deck at the back of the house has a a grill and picnic table. You'll love all the hardwood trim and floors. The location can’t be beat!
