The view of Lake Michigan doesn’t get any better when staying at the cottage.
I had a lovely stay at the cottage. It was wonderful being at the cottage in July and August. I am grateful for the experience. The cottage is special with its location in Boulder Park and being it was designed and built by Charlevoix architect Earl Young.
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.
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.
This is a great historic cottage! We enjoyed the quiet space, lake view, and quick accessibility to town. Hosts were lightning at responding and addressing our issue when a fuse blew.
This wonderful home is exactly as advertised and has everything one could want. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking essentials, and the bathrooms were squeaky clean! This is a must for anyone who knows the history of the Charlevoix Mushroom Houses. Wonderful stay!
We loved this house so much. And the proximity to the water and downtown. The house itself was clean and comfortable. We will stay again and happily recommend it to other people!
I cannot say enough good things about my stay here. It was so beautiful and peaceful. It was a very quiet place and so clean! I’m already making plans to return!
We loved the property! We was cool staying there! We had fun waving to people driving by for the mushroom house tours. Such. Peaceful, relaxing setting.
