Private, stand-alone cabin in the woods on a quiet paved road, Perfect place for a family with children or four adults. City of Charlevoix and Lakes Michigan and Charlevoix are five minutes away. Castle Farms is less than a mile away, check out their events calendar online.
If you like to occasionally fish, walk across the street to Adams Lake and throw a line in. The Pier in downtown Charlevoix is another popular place with easy access. There are also charter fishing boats to get you out on the "big" lake" or Lake Charlevoix. Lots of rentals in the area for any type of watercraft from canoe to pontoon,

McSauba recreational area is approximately 4 miles from the cabin with mountain biking, hiking, disc golf and beautiful beaches and sunsets over Lake Michigan. Fisherman's Island State Park is three miles away on the shores of Lake Michigan with beautiful trails and dunes. Both are great areas for Petoskey stone hunting!

We found "The Shed" to be a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. It is very clean and well appointed with little touches that make it special. I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to the Charlevoix area.
The location was great, only a mile from Castle Farms, where we attended a family wedding. Lilly was a wonderful host. The Shed was very clean, the beds and pillows were great, and the property is beautiful! If we are ever back in Charlevoix, we will hope to stay here again.
The shed was the perfect place for us to stay as we celebrated our wedding at the Castle. Very cute and quiet, and close to everything. We will be back!
We absolutely loved our stay at the “shed!” Lilly was very welcoming, ensured the place was in pristine condition, gave us great suggestions, and clearly communicated throughout the process. She anticipated our every need and we’d love to stay here again next time we’re in the area!

We loved the location and the serenity of the cabin. Only thing I'd say needs tending to are a few dead bugs under windows, however being up north and in the woods, you have to expect that. I loved the property and Julie was so kind. We will definitely want to come back!
Clean, newly refurbished cabin! We enjoyed staying in on a rainy weekend and doing a little shopping in Charlevoix. Cozy fire kept the place warm for end of October. We didn't need to turn the heat on. Great kitchen to cook in! Really close to Charlevoix and Ironton.
We absolutely loved are stay at the Shed. This place was amazing, very clean and newly renovated.The host was very friendly with top notch hospitality. I will definitely stay here again and recommend 5 out of 5 stars!
Clean no relaxing mins away from castle farms and 10mins from downtown good place

This was a great place to stay for my fiancé and I. It was so clean and cozy. The host was very friendly and helpful as well. We will definitely book a stay in this house again. We highly recommend it!
Post wedding day get away and it was great! Away from the busyness of town but still very close. The house felt warm and welcoming and being able to have a fire was the cherry on top. Would stay there again!
A fantastic stay! The cabin was super clean, peaceful and beautiful. Lilly was kind and helpful. We enjoyed our short hikes on the large property, seeing deer, woodpeckers and toads. The campfire was perfect every evening for making s'mores and relaxing under the stars. The beds were comfortable. Great location for exploring Charlevoix, Petoskey state park, canoeing on the Jordan and shopping. We would stay again!
We stayed at the Shed for our daughter's wedding. It was the perfect location and perfect home. Probably the cleanest VRB0 we've ever stayed in. Lilly, our host, was wonderful.
The owner was friendly, quick to respond, and very sweet to talk to. My entire family enjoyed their stay, and the kids loved the swings! My mom who is 80 , loved the peace and quiet, yet it wasn’t too far from town.
It was an excellent place to stay and very clean!
This place is Awesome!!! Beautiful surroundings, excellent condition, very clean and well supplied!
Lilly is a wonderful Host!
Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay; I will definitely be back and have already recommended the place to others.

Our goal is to maintain the woods and wildlife habitat surrounding "The Shed", providing a peaceful setting for our family and our guests.
Why they chose this property
Not a condo! You don’t have to share this space with anyone….Private owner property. Quiet area where in the morning you hear the birds singing as the sun rises. The evenings end with a bonfire in the backyard, a smore or glass of wine if you prefer. The beach (s) are five minutes away. If you are looking for a meal downtown, also five minutes. We are located close enough to the UP for a day trip to see the Magnificent Mighty Mac Bridge or spend time at Mackinaw Island.
What makes this property unique
Owners are interested in providing a clean and quiet place to escape from a busy schedule in a peaceful setting.
