***** Five stars! The Ainslie House is one of the top rentals we've experienced. Beautifully renovated, super clean, nice big kitchen (with the sink of my dreams), in a lovely residential neighborhood, and a very short walk to town or beaches. We loved it.

We are so happy that you enjoyed your time at our place! You were an amazing group to have and can't wait to have you back again. Thank you very much for choosing our place to stay and enjoy Charlevoix!
Our family of 10 had a wonderful time enjoying Beautiful Charlevoix in The Ainslie House while celebrating or 50th anniversary with our kids and grandkids. Location is perfect for us to access area attractions, including the downtown marina areas, and local beaches. The house is beautifully updated with modern kitchen, bathrooms and amenities. It is a very comfortable air conditioned home with room for everyone. You can’t go wrong with this rental if you’re looking for accommodations for ten.
