Cute house in a great neighborhood. We were in town on a business trip and this was a perfect place to stay. House was clean and comfortable would love to stay again recreationally sometime warm.
This was our 2nd time staying at this property. It was in a quiet neighborhood and very close to the adorable downtown area! The home was very comfortable and perfect for our Girls' Getaway!
Very nice house downtown Charlevoix! It was very clean and kid friendly. The hosts were also great, and made it very easy to contact them about anything we needed.
The house is charming, super clean and is in the best location close to town yet a nice quiet area. The parking is a major bonus. No street parking necessary! Would definitely stay again. Photos online represent the property well.
Property was perfect for our weekend in Charlevoix. The space was clean, comfortable, had a well stocked kitchen and a beautiful front yard. It was in walking distance to everything which is so convenient.
Excellent getaway close to town! Jessica was great to work with and even called the day we were to arrive to make sure we were all good to go. We would stay here again!
We had a wonderful girls’ weekend! This rental was everything we needed! Great location, cozy house and lots to do in town! We’d definitely stay here again!
Updated and well equipped home in a cozy neighborhood very close to town. No need to contact hosts while visiting as everything was well communicated with email before and plenty of written suggestions and directions upon arrival. Day trip to Mackinac Island and visits to Petoskey and Boyne were convenient to the location. Nice size for four adults.
This adorable house was very clean and close to town. We had a wonderful time playing cards, gabbing, and exploring. Would definitely recommend this lovely place.
Wonderful place! It was perfect for our family of five. The front yard is large and was nice to play in for our boys. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating! Would love to come back!
Charming house, well furnished, close to town. I’d stay there again!
My sister & I had a wonderful week at this property. There was plenty of all things we might need. Neighborhood is quiet & within walking distance to town as well as the Dairy Grille which is a favorite for after dinner treats.
Cute house that was perfect for our ski getaway. Plenty of room for four of us and close to downtown. Only about 35 mins from three ski resorts which is great. We ended up arriving a few hours before check in and the host was gracious enough to let us check in early! Would definitely stay here again!
The property was very nice and clean. Just a short walk to downtown and the neighborhood was quiet and not busy. We liked it a lot!!

About the host
Hosted by Jessa & Luke LaBlance
We are a local family and live in Charlevoix. We love our community and take pride in showing off our town! I am a local teacher and outdoor enthusiast. As long time residents of the area, we know all that Northern Michigan has to offer and would love to share our local knowledge with you!
Why they chose this property
We have owned this property for 18 years and have lived here for many years ourselves!...the neighborhood is quiet, the yard is spacious, the house is super cozy and clean...and the location allows guests to reach all that Charlevoix has to offer through just a walk or short bike ride away. The spacious front yard and quiet neighborhood make it a great place for families to play games or relax from the front porch or swing. Mornings and evenings on the front porch are a great way to spend time relaxing with a drink or good book....and the back patio dining/fireside area make for great entertaining in a more private setting. Inside the cottage you'll find original local artwork, quality bedding/furnishings, and additional amenities to assist with whatever needs arise. The open kitchen and living area create a fantastic space for a larger group to hang out, making this modest sized home seem much bigger. When it comes to a stay at McLeod cottage, we encourage our guests to contact us anytime with needs for trip planning, recreational activities, or questions regarding travel or the local area! We'd love you to experience our town and know that you'll fall in love with it.
What makes this property unique
We love giving our guests tips and recommendations for activities, stops, local hotspots, and unique experiences nearby...even some of our best local secrets! :) Feel free to check in with us after booking and we can answer questions, share info, and assist with any needs.
