Cute cottage!

We enjoyed a peaceful week at the cottage. It is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to make our meals. The view of the lake is very nice. We drove to Petoskey State Park, Mission Point Lighthouse, Mackinac Island, and the Mushroom Houses in Charlevoix.

Perfect weekend getaway!

My husband and I enjoyed a quiet and relaxing weekend in Charlevoix to recharge after a very busy few months with moving. We loved the quiet location, the cute cottage, and waking up to SNOW in the morning! Would definitely travel here again!

Adorable Cabin Retreat

This trip was incredible. The pictures of the cabin are accurate, but unless you are really there to see it for yourself, to enjoy this little piece of heaven, only then will you understand this find away from home. I wished for snow & was not disappointed. Sitting on the couch, looking out onto the lake, whether it was snowing or a perfect sunset, we couldnt get enough of it. Great location to all the quaint towns, Charlevoix, Boyne City, Bay Harbor. I found more walking trails, filled with nature, met a chipmunk & several beautiful deers. This place goes down as one of my best trips & find ever. Im still thinking of my time spent here and counting down until we can return again. Thank you for sharing your place.

Perfecto!

We asked to stay longer! Just a few days up north to see tree colors and make day trips around Charlevoix & Petoskey... The Cottage was spotless and very well appointed, and the unique setting and history just made it even better. We will be returning next year!

Peaceful cottage

We were in town for a family wedding. This was a perfect cottage for my husband, myself , and adult son that was 5 mins. from the wedding venue . The grocery store and town of Charlevoix is also 10 mins away. The cottage had everything we needed and very comfortable. The cottage is located on a small lake and is such a peaceful and beautiful location. I would like to go back again and just bring a book and relax.

Cute, peaceful cottage.

Everything we wanted & needed was there. Alison was an excellent communicator. Very comfortable atmosphere. Very happy with our stay. The only down side was the cleanliness of the cottage. The floor was dirty, there were cob webs that were more than I expected and we killed 3 tics!

We had a wonderful stay at the Cottage. Close proximity to all of the attractions in Charlevoix (Round Lake, Lake Michigan, and Lake Charlevoix). The Cottage was cozy and had everything we needed. Beach access to Nowland Lake was also perfect for the dog, and we enjoyed the firepit at nighttime. Any and all of our questions were quickly answered throughout the stay. We will definitely stay again! Thank you!

Pleasant stay with peaceful lake view

We enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage. It was an easy drive into Charlevoix and to all our vacation adventures. The cottage had a pleasant country location in a small private neighborhood with a sunset view from the windows and patio of the peaceful lake. Our children were very comfortable on the pull-out sofa bed. Alison was proactive in reaching out to see if we had any needs and to ensure we were enjoying our stay, and quickly responsive to any questions. It was apparent that a lot of care had been taken to equip the home and make it comfortable for guests. The cottage was very clean and we felt relaxed and at home. The stars are also beautiful at night!
