This is a lovely cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan. We visited during a sorrowful time in our lives, and I was so glad that this was the place we were together. The owner was extremely kind and generous. We talked about coming here again. I will never forget this lovely house and site.

Beautiful location, very private and quiet area. Cabin was small but well equipped and worked well for our party of four. It is rustic, but clean and comfortable. Property manager was very responsive and we enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend.

Great visit!

We really enjoyed our 5-night stay at rustic charm. It was just as pictured, cozy and clean. Loved the fireplace and the hosts offered so many extras- toilet paper, Kleenex, Scott towel, Dawn and coffee pods. Views were amazing and we loved the fire pit! We enjoyed the peak week of color change and warm enough weather for a scenic boat tour. It was a perfect trip!!

Peaceful & Relaxing

It was so relaxing to be at Rustic Charm in a quiet and private atmosphere. Waking up to the sound of the waves and having coffee right at the lake was incredible. It was clean and stocked with all the basics and kitchen utensils needed. Great area for biking and kayaking. I hope to return again!

Cozy cabin with a beautiful view. Maybe 30-40 yards from the water. Beds were comfy and the place was clean. I only wish there was a washer/dryer, but we survived okay without it.

Gorgeous Property

If you are looking for quiet & beauty, this place is for you. The view of Lake Michigan from the living area is so peaceful. Being on the "quiet side" of Door County is just what we were looking for. The cottage is clean and adorable. We had a couple of snafus, but the property manager handled them promptly & with urgency.

Perfect Rustic little cabin

This Cabin is really a gem, 2 smaller bedrooms both have comfortable double beds, large open floor plan of the remaining living space was excellent. The large deck on the back along with the wooded lot gives you that great feeling of seclusion and privacy. Having the lake right out the back door was beautiful! The cabin shows its age a bit with the lighting and power outlets but everything worked and felt safe. Heat and AC must be newer because it regulated the temp to whatever you set it to very quickly. Over all we thoroughly enjoyed this little cabin and wouldn't hesitate to rent it again. Also, it has a new combo washer and dryer that worked well when we needed to do a quick load of laundry. Kris was great to deal with and answered me right away when I had a question. 10/10

Loved our stay!

The cottage was just what we were looking for! It was simple and rustic, but very cute and clean. Compared to other places I've stayed on Lake Michigan it was very private and the view of the lake was really wonderful. The 6 person limit on the number of people staying that the cabin is definitely pushing it - we had 4 people (a couple and two single folks) and any more would have been a lot. It was a great proximity to the state parks, too!

Rustic charm

The rustic charm cabin is exactly as pictured, cozy and rustic. A good size for two people or a small family. Nice secluded location that is a short drive from everything we wanted to do. We appreciated the welcome email with details on what is stocked and recommendations on things to do/places to eat. We loved the fire pit and views of the lake.

Quiet lake stay

The property is great. Very quiet and private. The house was clean and had all you need for a Door County getaway. Beautiful views and convenient to many places on the peninsula. The owner was very responsive to questions. The house is close to a popular kayak launch for kayak tours to Cave Point, so expect to see very frequent groups of kayakers passing by the shore. If you want a clean, private, well kept cabin with beautiful views, sounds of the waves, it's a great place.

Great place on the lake

Nice cozy cottage on the lake. Very clean. Most of the days we were there were windy, but got 1 day we could start a fire outside. Every night we had the fireplace going, but the furnace kept it nice and warm as well. The lake was beautiful with just enough seclusion from the neighbors. It was also about 20-30 min to the busier west coast towns, which worked out fine We would stay there again.
