Family reunion

Cottage is a short drive into Charlevoix. The drive was a little longer with it being venetian festival and all the traffic. That being said, it was great to be out a little ways and on lovely lake susan. Beds were comfortable, coffee, waters and toiletries were all provided which was super nice. We enjoyed our stay!

Cute home with a great location

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and well maintained and only a short distance from downtown Charlevoix. There was firewood and sticks available to have a nice fire down by the water. We would definitely recommend the home to others and would stay there again.
