Clean throughout and a very comfortable (main) bed. As others have noted, it is very close to a highway with a fair amount of traffic of all types. This is a good thing if you are driving to nearby locations, not so good if you are walking around the neighborhood. Centrally located between Charlevoix, Boyne City and East Jordan, close to the ferry. While the washer and dryer are listed as an amenity, you need to ask for access.

The place was very nice, nicely appointed, attractive, and the interior shots matched the real appearance. Literally the only thing that stops it from getting a 5-star rating was that its location is right on a mildly busy 55 mph road and that is not in the description. If it were in the description, however, I probably would still choose it.

The cottage was clean and as pictured, but it was closer to the road than we expected. Fortunately, road noise while sleeping was minimal. A few more written helps (such as where to find the beach equipment or how to lock the door) would be good. The main bed was super comfy and the towels were fabulous but we like a more robust shower head and a small bathroom table on which to place items. Overall, the cottage was cute and well supplied and the host responded quickly to questions.

Super!

We were impressed by the cleanliness of the property and attention to detail. The house was beautifully decorated, cozy, and equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen and bathroom were both well stocked with all the necessities. The location was close enough to visit downtown areas, yet tucked away to enjoy a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of a holiday week.

The Ironton Stone Cottage was centrally located for all of the activities we had planned for our trip north. The bed was super comfy, and the kitchen had everything you would need. Our host responded immediately to questions. There is a television; however, it does not have local service. We were unable to stream our services, since we were from out of state, nor could we stream from our phone to the TV. Our only major complaint was that the lawn service arrived at 7:30 a.m. to mow and weed whip. We would stay at the cottage again.

Perfect family getaway!

We had such a great time at the cottage! It was the perfect mix of relaxation and fun over winter break! Renita was so helpful with our questions beforehand and it was a super easy booking process. We loved that we were just 10 minutes from downtown for dining and ice cream! And less than 30 minutes from Boyne mountain resort where we enjoyed the Waterpark, the skybridge and snow tubing! The cottage was so clean and had everything we needed! Would love to come back in season to enjoy the summer activities and beach! We were also thankful we were able to bring our small dog with us on the trip! Great hosts, great home, great stay!

We LOVE Charlevoix and we know you will too.

Why they chose this property

Centrally located to everything you want to do. The Ironton Stone Cottage is located on M-66 just 5 miles south of Charlevoix. The back yard is surrounded by woods for lots of privacy as you enjoy an evening around a fire in the Solo stove. Comfortable adirondack chairs surround the fire pit. A Weber gas grill is conveniently located on the deck where there is also a table and 2 chairs so you can enjoy your evening cocktails as you prepare dinner.
We are close to The Landing (our favorite restaurant!), the boat launch, and the beach, only a few min from Castle Farms, Hungry Ducks Farm, Charlevoix shopping, the Charlevoix pier and Lake Michigan, and Fisherman's island State Park (little known - super beautiful). Enjoy!!

What makes this property unique

Stone exterior and a nautical lake feel in the living room and dining room. It's true to the Up North aesthetic and the kind of place you want to hang out in when you're not out exploring.
