Beautiful lakeside stay

We really enjoyed our time here. The lake was perfect, the kids enjoyed kayaking and the campfire pit. My senior parents enjoyed the large deck. The view is gorgeous and the ambiance of the cottage is lovely. The water quality caught us off guard, you will definitely want to buy water or use the britas they provide or else you’ll get a mouthful of sand. Also the barn door upstairs was a little tough to use. Otherwise we had a great stay!

Great Fishing Trip Cabin

Plenty of room to park full-size truck and 21' bass boat, outdoor plug-in, the property was very quiet and secure. The house is clean. We had such a great time and will stay there again in the future.

The log house and its setting were a perfect match that provided peace and solitude. We were so relaxed that the rainy days didn’t bother us.

Great Weekend Get-Away

We had a great time this weekend in Charlevoix. The house was gorgeous, property was very pretty and of course the water being right there is such a perk and it was clear & beautiful. Beds were comfortable and house was clean. We were five minutes from Castle Farms where my niece was married so that was also a major perk. Booking, checking in and out and the stay itself was great. Thank you.

Great place to stay!

Loved the location and views. It was peaceful and quiet. We stayed there for the weekend for a wedding we were going to. It worked out perfect. Definitely would come back and recommend to friends. Be sure to bring bottled water, water from faucet very hard/irony.

Great location and very nice. Trees block the view and furniture needs to be updated. Washer, dryer and dishwasher would be better.

Nice quiet getaway

The house was very clean. Linens were dated and more blankets for the beds would have been nice. The house had everything you would need to stay. The lake and large deck were fantastic.

Peaceful getaway

The cabin was great. It was clean, kitchen had everything we needed, having wifi was nice. Everything was as described. Host quick to respond, check in easy. We used the fire pit, no wood, but we found some for sale in town. Loved that kayaks and row boats were there. Downtown Charlevoix and lake michigan beaches only about 10-15 minutes away. We had a great stay!!

Great place to relax, get away

This place was about 10-15 minutes away from downtown Charlevoix. The property has been well-maintained, especially outside. The entire exterior of the house and the landscaping around it is immaculate. Things I wish I knew before I arrived: -we need to make the beds upstairs ourselves (put on the sheets) -the house uses well water so you want to bring bottled water Kim was very responsive to all communication and was very focused on solving problems, which I really appreciated.

Beautiful

The place was so beautiful and peaceful. It was very close to Castle Farms, so it was convenient for the event we were attending over the weekend. We spent the whole day fishing by the lake and relaxing by the fire. It was wonderful, thank you.

Lakefront Getaway

Great lakefront cabin, clean, welcoming and peaceful! Close to resort towns and small villages if you feel like taking day trips. A beautiful majestic eagle, lovely loons and a wealth of songbirds shared there space with us humans. If you need a break from the fast paced world we live in this is a peaceful getaway to refresh!
