Great location..Awesome owners...house is sooo cute...very clean! Pics dont do it justice...id love to come in the summer! Beaur8ful and very convenient location to go many places!
We had a very nice stay in this clean, cozy house. It is in a great location to go to Charlevoix, East Jordan, many restaurants, ski resorts, wineries, breweries, and the quaint town of Central Lake.
Loved it! It's perfect place for winter or summer. Everything was easy, from check-in to check-out. Hosts are amazing and we would stay again and again. Cheers
My partner and I stayed here for a weekend in between Christmas and New Years and it was lovely! The cottage is very close by the Charlevoix and other towns. We had a ton of fun exploring during the day and then coming back in the evenings to relax by the fireplace and in the hot tub.
I had a great stay at Eric's place. The location was wonderful for fall colors and the house was clean. I really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. There is a wonderful seating area at the lake to spend time as well.
We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the amenities of the property! The hot tub was wonderful. The private dock was lovely to have some morning coffee and evening fire. We had enough space for 5 adults to spend time together, and also have some of our own space. The location is central to a lot lovely town, hiking, wineries, and petoskey stone hunting spots :)
The house is clean, well maintained, adorable, and has everything you need for a nice getaway. You can tell the owners take pride in their home. Communication was quick and friendly. Instructions for checking in and opening the house were clear and easy to follow.
I can't wait to come back in the summer and use the kayaks and enjoy the lake.
We enjoyed our stay! It was a cute little cottage and from the upstairs loft you can see the lake which is a great view. Definitely will be going back!
It was a very beautiful setting. The neighbors had a loud party the second night but otherwise it was very nice and quiet. The lake was gorgeous and taking the canoe out was a lot of fun.
All the good reviews about this rental are true. It was just what we expected and worked out well. The hot tub was especially nice and communication with the owners was easy and very helpful.
The Cottage was cute, clean, and cozy. The hot tub was heavenly. Centrally located to Boyne, Traverse City, Charlevoix, and Petosky. Perfect for a cozy winter weekend.
Loved our stay! Great location right between Traverse City and Charlevoix and next to Torch Lake. Amenities were great and just as described. Upstairs loft bed was hard but otherwise a great stay.
The property seemed to be well maintained, the check in and check out process was easy and all communication was positive. We had a very relaxing time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Definitely thinking about going back!
This property is a real gem located away from the city noise and crowds with direct access to the lake and kayaks and a canoe provided by the host. Accommodations were lovely, cozy and cottage-like. The hot tub on the porch was our luxurious refuge after a busy day of exploring Charlevoix and Traverse City. Our host Eric was very responsive and thoughtful. We really enjoyed our time there and we look forward to coming back next year.
