Relaxing Stay in Charlevoix Area

My family had a wonderful stay in the Charlevoix area -- hosts were responsive and helpful and the home was comfortable and well-apportioned. This was our second stay at the cottage and we would recommend it to anyone heading to the area.

Conveniently located cottage

Overall our stay met our expectations. We could do all the things we came to this area to do. The community “dog friendly” beach around the corner was an extra bonus. Plenty of linens and towels plus a supply of toiletries were available. Our only concern was the refrigerator never got down to the proper temperature, the freezer was fine though.

Charming, Calming, Country, Cottage

The Cottage was very charming, tastefully decorated, and we loved it! The hosts provided everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable. There were nice views from all the windows, of the garden, flowers, trees, and greenery. The Lake Michigan beach was nearby and wonderful. We will definitely be back next summer!

Best Cottage Close to SO Much

Wonderful unique and custom cottage that our fam of four loved. This area has so much to offer yet we were still drawn back to the comfort of the cottage. Photos don’t do it justice, plenty of space, close to Antrim Creek Natural Area, breweries, Charlevoix, preserves, beaches, and a five minute walk to Lake MI. Host was wonderful, loved it all.

Nice Location

Property was clean, but a bit tired. A short drive to a couple dog friendly beaches. Charlevoix and Elk Rapids are an easy commute. Good spot to use as a home base, but expect to drive.

Lovely!

This is not just a comfortable house located in a quiet neighorhood, but it is also a beautiful house. Everything is first rate. It is the sort of house that feels like it is someone's home, with everything just as you would want it. The beds are comfortable, the linens plush. The house is small, but fine for us. Kitchen is a little small, but perfectly adequate. Eveeything is as described, in fact even exceeding my expectations. Really, this is a lovely piece of property. perfect for a couple.

Nice Quiet Location

Overall a very positive experience. There were a few maintenance items that I would have liked to have addressed, but nothing was a show stopper. Kids had a good time, and enjoyed playing with some of the toys that were included. Beds were very comfortable and bedrooms were spacious.

Completely charming

This was our home base during a nearby family reunion, and the perfect place to rest and recharge. Everything was so comfortable and well-appointed. Quiet, deeply relaxing, and surrounds that were curated and thoughtful. We felt genuinely lucky to have found it- definitely one of those places you don't come across often. Thank you!

Cute Cottage Close to Charlevoix

Cottage was super cozy. Very nice on the inside and location was private and quiet. Nice and relaxing and felt like home rather than a hotel. Enjoyed walking to the beach and house was located reasonably close to Charlevoix and Petoskey. My family had a great stay and enjoyed our time there. Did find communications with owner a little unclear. The number listed in the info binder was not up-to-date. And this is probably a personal preference but I did find the smell of the well water off-putting.

Cottage stay

This property was a good jumping off point for our visits to Charlevoix, Torch Lake & Petosky. It shares the same driveway as the owners that live right next door. The beach was a reasonable walk from the house, very rocky but nice. Not a dealbreaker, but the screen door leading to the backyard was super difficult to work with. The sleeping arrangements work well for us and our 3 children.

Perfect family getaway

We had an amazing time at the cottage. It was the perfect location for our little family. Our dog had plenty of room to roam in the beautiful backyard. We loved the cute little kids bed, and it was the perfect place for our 11 month old to sleep since we didn’t have a crib. It was close to a quiet little beach area, a 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive. We loved the feeling of being away from the city but still close enough to run into town for brunch or dinner. We made the 1.5 hour drive to see Mackinac Island and Sleeping Bear Dunes during our stay. Lisa and her dad, Jerry were the nicest hosts and we appreciated their hospitality. We can’t wait to visit the cottage again. ☺️

Better than I expected

I looove this cottage and the host is devine. Dee treated us like family and made us feel very comfortable. The place has everything you need. Dishes, pots, pans, cleaning supplies, beach towels and beach chairs. The only thing it does not have is a stove. Unsure how I missed that but I am glad I did because it is perfect even without a stove. They have a hot plate that you can use and we used the grill every day. Dee loaned us bread and aluminum foil, which was very very sweet of her. The beach is literally 800 feet away. The neighbor is clean and very quiet. Lovely home and I will rent it again if I am in that area.

Lovely

We had a fantastic stay at this cottage. We brought along our small dog and had no problems at all on the property- plenty of open spaces to walk her. The online pictures of the cottage and grounds are spot on. We used the toaster and the Sur La Table oven to make bacon, hot dogs, salmon, etc. The electric cooktop was perfect for scrambled eggs. Very clean, everything we needed was there. Great communication with hosts. Gerry came by when we arrived to say hello and to make sure we were good. We do drive an EV car and he let us plug in to the outdoor outlet and we had no problems at all- no fuses blown as we kept the charge at the lowest level. You can walk down to the shore but we decided to drive there- literally took 1 minute. They had beach chairs we could use in the closet, and we did do a couple of loads of laundry with no problems at all. I would 100% stay here again. It was a lovely time! We really enjoyed our stay here.

A Delightful Getaway

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were genuinely and lovingly cared for by our host, Dee. After a long day of traveling, Dee had the house prepared for our hungry and tired crew with snacks and milk so that we didn’t have to go back out (we were traveling with a 3 and 4 year old, so it was especially amazing!). Dee communicated with us to make sure to accommodate our every need. The house was stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay (including some local delights!). The beds were so nice (I wanted to take all the linens home with me!) and the bathroom plenty spacious for our family of four. We loved the deep tub for kids that still take baths. The shower had great pressure for the adults. We had no issues with internet or a slow connection and have been to a number of other places in the UP and Northern MI where it’s been hard to watch a show on Netflix. Not here! Even on the one day we had a medical emergency with my son, Dee went out of her way to make sure we had access to everything we needed to manage the crisis. The welcome binder is full of great local ideas for places to go and the beach is a short drive and a beautiful spot to set up for a day or two. We spent some time up in Mackinaw which was only about an hour and a half drive; we loved going through the Tunnel of Trees scenic road a bit north of Petoskey. This was hands down our best stay on VRBO thanks to the genuinely wonderful humans hosting us. We hope to come back regularly! ❤️
