This was the perfect place for us to stay for six nights in Charlevoix. We took the GEM tour of the Earl Young houses and afterwards we could walk around the neighborhood and know which houses he built and what was unique about them. We went downtown for market day and bought a delicious cherry pie. We drove to Boyne City for lunch and Bayfront Park in Petoskey for a day trip. The house was clean and very well stocked. We played cards on the outside deck and enjoyed the view. The large picture window in the front room is a great place to relax. Would highly recommend this home for a vacation.

Great house

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It is in a great location: right across from the lake and easy access to town. The house was perfect for 2 couples to stay at while we explored Charlevoix, Petoskey, and Mackinac.

Lovely cottage

We had a wonderful time staying here in Charlevoix. It’s within walking distance of downtown and a short drive to other day trip activities. The view of Lake Michigan is spectacular, the neighborhood is quiet and secluded enough from the downtown area that it’s peaceful but not far away. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed - the property manager was very helpful too! We hope to stay here again!
