Super peaceful setting...absolutley a great place to "get away from it all". Charlevoix only 15 minute drive, and the Castle is literally only 3 miles away for anyone attending an event (wedding) there. Highly recommended if you are looking for peace and quiet!

It was the perfect spot for our family vacation. We spent many hours on the lake fishing as well as playing in the yard. The house had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful time up in the Charlevoix area with our family. The location for this rental was beautiful. The cabin doesn't have any laundry facilities, so you'll just need to plan ahead. Another factor is that you'll need to buy drinking water and water for the coffee machines. We had fun using the kayaks. This was a first for our 10-year-old grandson; but now he's a pro! The swimming area was a little bit of a letdown, due to us sinking down into the mud and the water being murky. However, due to us being on a quiet lake, we were able to see lots of wildlife which was wonderful. Snapping turtles, a large visiting frog, hummingbirds and best of all Loons! We were able to hear the Loons calling to each other each morning and evening; which was incredible!
