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!

Family reunion

Cottage is a short drive into Charlevoix. The drive was a little longer with it being venetian festival and all the traffic. That being said, it was great to be out a little ways and on lovely lake susan. Beds were comfortable, coffee, waters and toiletries were all provided which was super nice. We enjoyed our stay!
