Phenomenal location! Excellent home, we loved the Master Bedroom. Bed was very comfortable! Owners were great to work with, we already booked another week here next summer!!
We had a great stay in Charlevoix and the house was perfect. The rooms were all very big and worked great for us and the kids. The air u it’s kept it nice and cool to beat that July Michigan heat. Very close walk to downtown as well. Highly recommend!
Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022

Thanks for taking the time to review your experience and we’re grateful that you chose Mt McSauba Retreat! Come see us again!
I loved this little cottage. Its location near to downtown is very convenient. The beds were comfortable and the property in general was well- maintained. We didnt take advantage of all the beach paraphernalia since we are not typically beachy people, but it was nice that all of that was available for us to use. The fire pit was nice. Its a quiet street and at dusk the deer tend to hang out across the street. Really enjoyed our stay.
