Parents and 3 adult kids stayed here for a wedding. Was perfect! Very charming and an easy walk into downtown. My son said the inflatable pull out was very comfortable as were the other beds. Note the bath is between the two bedrooms so anyone staying on the pullout has to go thru a bedroom to get there. Would recommend.

Bucket list material

Cottage was comfortable, welcoming and a perfectly placed. Trust us you want to be on this side of the draw bridge. In walking distance of downtown shops and eateries. Checked one off the bucket list taking the time to visit Mackinac Island for the day. Which did not disappoint… Baby Sister was married at a beautiful Mushroom house. Charlevoix for the WIN!

Weekend wedding guest and mini family vacay

The cottage is absolutely adorable. It worked perfectly for our weekend needs. The back yard is so big and they have many amenities so we did not have to pack so many items to bring. Our infant slept in the pack and play and we used the stroller as well. Our daughter lived "collecting sticks" for our fire pit and s'mores activity. The beds were comfy and the home was clean.

Cottage on Wood St

The house is well maintained and the added conveniences are very nice as well (grill, fire pit, & washer and dryer). It's a great location as you are a short drive to many famous Michigan travel spots (Petosky, Leland [Fishtown] and Mackinaw Island). My only recommendation would be for the owner to have more comfortable beds. The king bed was comfortable, but both the twin beds and the pull out couch mattress were very uncomfortable. Perhaps if it was only two adults and a few kids this wouldn't be an issue, but we planned to sleep on the bunk beds (I'm 30) and it was so uncomfortable I couldn't sleep! The pull out couch was slightly better because there was a foam egg crate topper.
Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr, 2020
Thank your for your four star review. Also for complimenting the comfort of our king size bed. We are sorry you found the bunk bed mattresses uncomfortable. We have had many adults sleep in these beds and have never had a complaint. The mattresses are older but of high quality. We take EVERY review seriously. Since this review, we have had the opportunity to upgrade the twin mattresses. The pullout sofa in the living room is a Lazy Boy. We also purchased a $150.00 foam memory topper. We all know that sleeping on a pullout is not like sleeping on a thick mattress. However, the topper does add more cushion and comfort. We hope our potential renters will read all of our 5 STAR REVIEWS and feel secure booking a great stay at our Cottage On Wood Street!

Perfect little cottage. We lucked out bc there was a last minute cancellation and we got it for 2 nights as we passed through town. Cottage was adorable with a few original built in features. Quick walk to main town area with shops and restaurants. Only wish we had longer to take advantage of other features such as the bikes and back yard fire pit (hosts even supplied wood and s’mores ingredients).

Love this cozy cottage

We came for a wedding and this was the perfect place to stay! The house was so clean and cozy. Bridget was very sweet and offered lots of great amenities with the rental. It was close to the wedding venue and downtown Charlevoix/the beach. We spent so much time enjoying the porch and hope to come back again soon!

Charlevoix

My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with this cottage. Super clean. They provided everything we needed and we still had plenty of space for the two of us and all our things. The location was perfect. We took many bike rides around town. We hope to be back again. I would highly recommend this cottage.

Convenient, clean and quiet cottage perfect for a small family

This cottage had everything we needed for a week stay in Charlevoix with the family. Having access to bikes and beach chairs and towels was a bonus. I stayed with my two teenage kids and 79 year old mom. Wish it was a bit closer to downtown but still walkable. Easy to drive my mom and find parking in a public lot with no issues.

Lyn, thank you for staying with us and for complimenting our extra amenities such as beach towels, bikes and beach chairs. We are only five blocks from town but I understand having your mother with you may have been difficult to walk back and forth. After reading your notes in our guest log I was happy to see you had such a great time in Charlevoix during your week stay at my cottage.

Great up north getaway

My husband, myself and our 20 month old daughter stayed in this cute cottage over Memorial Day weekend. It was perfect for the three of us and had everything we needed. Bridget even has an extra stroller, pack n play and high chair if you don’t want to pack yours for the trip! That definitely saved us space not having to bring the high chair and stroller. I really liked the layout of the cottage for sleeping as well, the bedrooms are attached by a bathroom so that was really nice having our little one extra close. Downtown Charlevoix is definitely walking distance from the cottage and also on the street corner of the cottage is a really good ice cream and food place. We visited Lake Michigan and lake Charlevoix. Lake Charlevoix was our favorite, so secluded and nice playground area and rocks on the beach to look through. We had a great stay at this cottage and if you’re looking for one that’s friendly to babies/toddlers, this one is perfect! Thank you Bridget!

About the host

Hosted by Bridget Elowsky

Host profile image
Newly purchased and just placed on the market on 6/22/15. Freshly painted, updates and new linens. Very clean and neat! Please read our wonderful reviews from all of our satisfied guests. We are priced to rent!! This listing won't last long!!

Why they chose this property

We moved to Charlevoix twenty two years ago. We love being surrounded by God's beauty. We have always wanted to purchase a small rental to allow others to experience everything Charlevoix has to offer. We just purchased a second rental directly behind this listing. Working on a remodel at this time!

What makes this property unique

Our renters seem to enjoy our proximity to town and the beach. They also love the backyard, bikes, grill, and fire pit. We manage our home and live in this town. We try to put a personal touch on our property by meeting each of our renters and being available to them during their stay.
