Wonderful stay!

The place was just the right size for our family. Beautiful quiet location!! Great price point as well for being so close to the lake. I’m very picky when it comes to cleanliness but this place was very clean. Nancy was a great host and even left us some little goodies that my boys enjoyed. We would definitely love to stay again.

Perfect bliss

This little gem is our secret quiet space. Always so clean, just the perfect size and a tub to melt in. After we relax a couple days, plenty to see and do in the area. We found a new state park to explore, enjoyed a local resturant and wallowed in the big comfy bed all the next morning...see you again next fall!!

This cottage is well appointed and very well cared for. I found several nice little touches left by the host. The home is in a very quite neighborhood and super close to Lake Michigan. We stayed for a ski trip, but can't wait to return in the summer time.

Beautiful beach get-away

What an excellent experience. Host was very thoughtful and made our stay great. The cottage was clean and full of little extras for us to use. The beach was only a five minute walk from the cottage and had trails to hike around. 5 stars for the host and property. Was a great way for my wife and I to spend our first year wedding anniversary.

Excellent Lake Michigan Location

Everything is here for a relaxing Northern Michigan getaway. Enjoyed the whirlpool tub, fireplace and comfy king bed. The trails nearby and lake views are amazing. Nancy was super responsive to any questions we had. She has thought of everything as far as details and amenities-coffee, water, kitchen items, etc. We stayed in late October and are looking forward to a summer visit!

Charlevoix Cottage

Such a nice cottage, well-kept and clean. The kitchen was fully equipped and the host left coffee, snacks, candy, etc for the guests. Plenty of linens, towels, even firewood (as we stayed during the winter). A beautiful location, quiet neighborhood, about two minutes from the lake and adjacent to a park with hiking trails, deer everywhere. Overall, a very pleasant stay!

Peaceful solitude!

Adorable cozy cottage in a VERY quiet neighborhood. The home was very clean and very well accommodated (paper products, soaps, a few small goodies and plenty of coffee options to get us through our first couple mornings) comfortable beds and great communication with host. We really enjoyed the short walk to the beautiful Mt Mcsauba beach, hiking the trails, awesome sunset views with multiple vantage points (awesome view from top of Mt Mcsauba!) we used the beach chairs, beach umbrella, cooler, and beach wagon which made our long beach days excellent! We really appreciated the host allowing us to use the garage 110 volt outlet to keep our electric car continuously charging at night. Hope to visit again someday!

Wonderful

We’ve rented many houses in and around Charlevoix in the past, but this house was by far the best one. The kitchen is large and well equipped, comfortable beds in both bedrooms, a nice jacuzzi tub, seriously, this house has it all. We enjoyed being so close to Mt. McSauba nature preserve, we saw deer every morning out the front window. We took evening walks in the neighborhood with our 6 year old. We went to the beach several times, Castle Farms, Friske’s Orchard,, we even climbed Mt. McSauba for a beautiful sunset. I had trouble with the washer and Nancy was over within 5 minutes if me texting her. I could go on and on about how great this house is . We are certainly going to try and rent this house next year.

About the host

Host profile image
I manage this property for my brother-in-law. I love the outdoors, gardening, walking the beautiful trails and dunes and most of all spending time with my family. I am retired after 39 years working at the Health Department and worked as the Administrative Office Manager, managing 5 offices and 7 dental clinics.

Why they chose this property

Has a cozy atmosphere and rates high in cleanliness. In a great neighborhood to hike, bike, snowshoe, cross country ski, downhill ski, great area to jog. Also has the beautiful dunes on Lake Michigan to enjoy during the spring, summer and fall. All within walking distance. Can ride a bike from the property to the wheelway bike trail. Beautiful sunsets at the end of the road.

What makes this property unique

The uniqueness of this property is the location. It is across the street from the Mt. McSauba Nature Preserve where you can hike trails and then walk to the beautiful dunes on Lake Michigan. This property is also very close to the bike trails that can take you to Bay Harbor, Petoskey and Harbor Springs.
