We had an excellent time at this property. Very clean and cozy. Good view from the back, perfect for morning coffee or evening drink on the deck. Only about 8 minutes from downtown Charlevoix. Pet friendly made the stay even better. Would recommend and would stay again.

This was a perfect place for our family. We just had one night stopover from the UP to Traverse City, but wished we could stay longer. The outdoor dining area was beautiful. We even took out the Canoe for a quick ride. The best part besides the beautiful lakeside location was that everything was so well stocked! Cooking, laundry, etc.. was just like at home. It is a drive from charlevoix, but seems like a great deal to be in such close proximity. We would stay here again.

We were looking for a cozy cottage on a lake in a secluded area and this property was just what we wanted. The view was lovely, the surroundings were peaceful, the house was clean and had all the necessary amenities available for our use. Kathy was a great host and responded quickly when we had questions. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!
