Girls Trip

We rented this cottage for an annual girls trip and it was perfect! Directly across the street from the beach and a short walk to town, restaurants and shopping. Very clean and tidy. Extremely well stocked - with everything from kitchen and bathroom essentials to beach chairs and towels. We especially loved the sun room front porch to relax with a cocktail and play games. The host was very quick to answer questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location in Charlevoix

The house was perfect for our family to stay in and enjoy Charlevoix while here for a wedding. The kids enjoyed the beach and library - both within easy toddler walking distances. All of Charlevoix is easily accessible from here and we really enjoyed our time. My one qualm (and not enough to lower the rating) is that the hairdryer doesn’t have warm air and that was kind of a bummer getting ready for a wedding! Also, the sheets were a struggle to get on as they were too small for one of the queen beds. These were small things though and we’d stay here again.

Fun w family in Charlevoix

This was our second year in a row at this cottage and we really enjoy how easily our grown kids (and grandkids) fit in the house when we are up together. Love the front porch and rear deck, and everyone enjoys having Lake Michigan just a short walk away. Host are great with communication and super easy check-in and check-out.

Just What We Needed

My husband is from Michigan and most of his family still lives there. My mom has never been to Michigan so I wanted to treat her to a trip and my in-laws suggested Charlevoix. My in-laws came with us so we wanted a house that could accommodate everyone (including my 5 year old son). The location was wonderful and the house was very accommodating. The beds were comfortable enough, there were fans for most of the rooms, and there were plenty of books and toys for my son. The only bummer was that the walk down to the beach included quite a few steep steps. For most of us it was fine and the beach was wonderful, but my mom is disabled so she wasn't able to enjoy that benefit. But the beach is easily accessible with just a short 5 min drive, so overall we loved the place and may just have to come back :)

Perfect lakeside getaway!

We hosted extended family from the West Coast to share with them the best that Northern Michigan has to offer. This cottage was the perfect getaway spot. With views of the Lake Michigan sunset and the ability to walk to downtown Charlevoix and the harbor, it had all the cozy comforts of home - especially the screen porch and back deck. The hosts were easy to reach and made booking and check in a breeze. We will be back!

Great location for a family

My family and I (2 adults, 5 kids) rented this property for a week in August 2022. Everything was very clean, has a vintage cottage charm, and had the perfect location. The check-in was easy, and the kids were eager to scamper across the street to the beach as soon as we arrived. The location really can’t be beat, and we walked to eat, to Mass on Sunday, and spent a rainy day at the exceptional library around the corner. The only suggestions we have: place a window AC unit in every bedroom (the bunk room lacked one, and the top bunk is the place that needs it most), totally functioning electrical outlets (I plugged in my phone overnight only to realize in the morning that it hadn’t charged and tested to make sure it wasn’t the charger) and to have a high chair with straps to secure a child safely (the provided high chair had no straps). Also, important for parents would be that the pack and play padding creates divots which could be dangerous for a small baby, and I’d recommend bringing your own for ease (we DIY shimmed it). Also, having sheets already on the bed would have been nice after a long journey. That said, none of these suggestions significantly detracted from our stay, and we had a very pleasant time at the cottage. I also thought the cottage was a good value for its location, compared to other properties, and we would recommend it to others.

Great week in Charlevoix with the kids and grandkids

Great location and perfect sized cottage for spending time with our kids and grandkids “up north”. We all enjoyed the beach across the street, but I think we equally enjoyed the time on the front porch and back deck. Definitely would come back in the future.

Charming Vintage Lake Michigan Cottage

I love everything about this house. We mainly hang out on the porch when we are not on the each or walking into town. The sunsets are spectacular and the water is easily reachable down the rustic steps. The hosts are fabulous and have outfitted the home with everything you need.

Great location and very well kept

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our vacation to Charlevoix. The proximity to everything was fantastic. We literally walked everywhere, which with 4 little kids was quite the feet without anyone complaining. The home is older and thus there are quirks about it, but it was perfect for our family. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

We had a great week staying in Charlevoix. The location was perfect and the listing was as described. We had more than enough room for our family and friends and really enjoyed being able to walk to the beach, through the neighbourhoods and downtown for shopping and restaurants.

About the host

Hosted by Marty & Kerry Mullane

Spent years vacationing in northern Michigan as a child. We vacationed in this home in 2014 with our lab, Marley. When it went up for sale we partnered with a long time friend who lives in the area and snapped it up. This is a charming home on Park Ave surrounded by Earl Young 'mushroom' homes. We plan to keep this home for many to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Located in the City of Charlevoix this charming early 1900’s cottage is located on the corner of Sherman and Park Avenue. Enjoy the views of Lake Michigan. Stroll 1 block to the library(a wonderful place offering concerts ), or the beach with playground. Take the dog for a walk through the pet friendly park directly across the street .In the evening enjoy movies and concerts in East Park on Round Lake just a a few minutes walk away.

What makes this property unique

We spend a great deal of time on the enclosed front porch. Perfect place to read a book, catch up with old friends while sharing a morning coffee or evening glass of wine! The large deck at the back of the house has a a grill and picnic table. You'll love all the hardwood trim and floors. The location can’t be beat!
