About this property

BEST LOCATION in CVX! 1.5 blocks from Lake MI Beach & DOWNTOWN CHARLEVOIX!

Two doors down from the Mushroom houses!!! Tucked in the center of Charlevoix, a home perfectly located between town and beach. Once you arrive, forget the car! Lake Michigan Beach Park is 1.5 blocks and the heart of downtown Charlevoix is 1.5 blocks! So easy for the whole family to get around, even children and grandparents!

More than a rental, this cozy home blends historic architectural detail with today's modern amenities. White plank ceilings, bead board covered walls and original restored floors add character. A new gas fireplace, standup shower, claw foot tub, wifi, cable, Weber grill, and fully stocked kitchen will make it easy to relax! A pretty view, directly across from beautiful Charlevoix library!

We want your stay to be peaceful and beautiful. You will have a very comfortable and aesthetically pleasing space with everything you need! A mix of local shop finds with artwork and bedding from Anthropologie :) You'll love the feel as soon as you walk in.

Three bedrooms upstairs to sleep seven in beds and a first floor daybed in the sunroom for the eighth person! We offer conveniences like first floor bathroom, washer and dryer, cable TV, high speed internet, Bose radio, fully equipped granite kitchen, new quilts and throws, Tempurpedic mattress for a perfect sleep, portable crib, beach towels, large cooler, huge beach wagon, shampoos, bath salts, and on and on. We think we've thought of it all to make packing light and your stay easy and great!

Parking is on the street right in front of the cottage, no driveway. We have a beautiful little front yard with a patio table and chairs to eat outside. The white wicker rocker is on the covered front porch. We also have a side deck with a Weber grill. There are 2 beautiful parks right directly across the street from us at the library!

We know how hard it is to plan a family vacation with all the time and research involved. If you are lucky enough to have found any of our cottages in downtown Charlevoix you do not need to look any further. We are our hardest critics (and have a big family to test them out!). From having the cleanest cottages and THE BEST cleaning staff on VRBO to having the most comfortable beds with high end bedding, best stocked kitchens and all around experience, there simply is not a better place to stay in Northern Michigan. All of our cottages in Charlevoix are occupied 100% of the time from mid May to October so please do not hesitate to book (early). We had many instances where guests waited a few hours to book and their week was taken in that short amount of time.

The home was clean and comfortable and as expected. We had a minor problem with one of the bathrooms and it was fixed within hours - their initiative. Hosts were easy to work with. Excellent location - within short walking distance to downtown, beach, sunset views in the mushroom homes. Would definitely stay there again!

Trip was fully refunded. Very poor experience. Out trip was severely disrupted. The location and the town were beautiful. Home was in a gorgeous area. Due to unforeseen crisis within the home this was close to the absolute worst travel experience I have ever had. The refund didn’t make up for stress, lost time, or severe inconvenience associated with the circumstances. Host did have good communication when the crisis started ,however, this did not compensate for above mentioned stress, lack of rest, and inconvenience of not being able to store luggage in the house for 7 people and having to find new accommodations at 10pm on a Saturday night, which was nearly impossible. Overall worst travel experience ever.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience. We do want to clarify one important point for future guests reading this review: the issues described in this review did not occur at our home. The circumstances referenced in the review occurred during the guests’ stay at a hotel in Petoskey, after their plans involving our property had been disrupted by something not of our control. The review therefore describes their experience with that hotel and the difficulties they encountered there, rather than the condition, accommodations, or services provided at our home. We communicated with the guests when the situation arose and worked to assist them as much as possible. We also provided a full refund, and Vrbo reviewed the circumstances and agreed with us that the issues described were related to their hotel stay rather than our property. We understand that the overall situation was stressful and disruptive for the guests, and we are sorry they had such a difficult travel experience. However, we believe it is important that future guests understand that the problems described in this review were not problems with our home but their experiences after leaving it.

Always a great visit

This is our third time to Charlevoix and second summer in a row staying at this house. The location can’t be beat, as it is close to both downtown and the beach. Shawn does a great job maintaining the house and is always super responsive with questions and extremely accommodating for my family. We can’t wait to come back again.
