Great Value and Enjoyable Stay

It was a brief overnight stay, but we had a chance for an enjoyable walk along the beach at Fisherman's Island State Park. This pet friendly place was clean, convenient and very pleasant...wish we had our four-legged friend with us.

Trip to the Tunnel of Trees

The location is great, close to the beach, and only 0.5 miles from the downtown area. We loved the area. Nice convenient location. The fact that we could bring our fur babies, was a plus for us!!!

We Loved It!

The house was lovely, clean, and had everything one could possibly need. The neighborhood was quiet, and Charlevoix is a beautiful city. But our favorite part was having a fenced-in backyard for our two Golden Retrievers to run around in after a long day cooped up in the car. We would definitely love to come back some day

We like the place a lot, but 2 things. We got a good snowstorm and had to borrow a snow shovel. Also the porch lights do not work, they have power but are useless. The location works well for us.

Wishing for more Cottage Time

A GREAT place - we so wish we had longer to enjoy this beautiful timeless cottage - so convenient to everything and in a super quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the touches of old and new. A very cool craftsman cottage done up well for guests and the fenced private back yard is an extra bonus, we'd book again for sure . Great spot for visiting Charlevoix, Petosky, and the entire area.
