Good for the night before the ferry to Beaver Island

The Blue Cottage works well for staying the night before catching the early ferry to Beaver Island. It is close to groceries and gas, making it convenient to stock up. The fenced in back yard offers a private hangout. Off-street parking is a plus. The only ding was a number of spiders and webs in the foyer area.

NYE Ski trip

My family of four, and our dog, all enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Blue Jay cottage. The location was close to nearby ski hills and restuarants, as well as a great hiking area at McSauba park, 5 minutes away. The cottage was comfortable and clean, and well stocked. Our dog was very happy to have a fenced in yard to play fetch in :-). Thank you for hosting us!

The blue cottage worked out perfectly. The dogs loved the fenced in yard. They could just run free when we were out there with them. The size of the cottage was perfect for two people with two small dogs very well supplied and very clean. Would love to use another time.

Perfect for our needs. Close to downtown and the Belvedere

It was perfect for our needs and they allowed pets. It was close to everything in Charlevoix and to The Belvedere Club where I grew up every summer going back 68 years. I would have preferred a larger bathroom in a larger bed but actually everything was fine. I would have booked it again next year but it was already taken. LOL

Great location - very cozy home!

We were in the Charlevoix area for our son’s wedding at Castle Farms. This is a great location and within 5-10 minutes of everywhere. The Blue J cottage was perfect. Clean and quiet neighborhood. Our grandpup loved the fenced yard. Joncie was extremely responsive and answered all our questions promptly. Great experience! If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely book again!

We like the place a lot, but 2 things. We got a good snowstorm and had to borrow a snow shovel. Also the porch lights do not work, they have power but are useless. The location works well for us.
