Great little house and perfect location for biking weekend! We were able to walk downtown easily after biking to Petoskey all day. There are two twin beds upstairs and a bunk bed for teens or small kids.

Very nice and comfortable home, very close to the water, shopping, groceries. Nice layout and yard, we had a great time!

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 8, 2023
Thank you, Susan. One of our favorite things about the location of this cottage is how easy it is to walk to the beach and lighthouse, shops including the grocery store, library, etc. I also love being able to cook in the kitchen while talking with everyone gathered at the dining room table or on the couches because of the open floor plan. Glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again for a future visit!

So glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back next year! Some of our families have been staying with us for 5 years or more, so make sure to ask about our returning guest discount!
The property was clean and the pictures accurate as advertised. Jennifer was a pleasure to work with and had prompt responses. This is an ideal property if you are looking to visit a small town with an easy walk to beaches and downtown.
The house was perfect for us. Just the right size and everything we needed. Location in Charlevoix was great! We will definitely recommend this place to friends who want to vacation in Charlevoix.
