We stayed here in 2021 and it was nice to come back three years later and see that the owners pay attention to maintenance and upgrades. Everything was mostly the same but we also noticed some changes, additions, and general freshening up of the house and furnishings. As before, there was everything we could possibly need in the kitchen and bathrooms. The house was built around 1930 so there are bound to be compromises on things like closet space, but with just the two of us there was plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. And as always, the location simply cannot be beat! It's about two minutes from an effectively "private" beach and less than a ten minute walk into downtown. Since it shares the neighborhood with the famous "mushroom houses", everything around it is also well kept and generally quiet. Several room air conditioners were running when we arrived, but we soon turned them off and that was the last time we even thought about them. It was a bit cooler than expected that week and we actually had to run the heat a couple of times in the morning, using the "Nest" thermostat that was probably not the original equipment in the house :-). It all worked well. The only issue for us now is looking ahead on our schedule and trying to decide when we'll be back!

Great location, helpful hosts, but the house looks like it hasn’t been updated for decades. I have spent many summers in Charlevoix, in many houses, so I’m used to what we affectionately call “Charlevoix houses”. However, there were some issues with this house that were hard to ignore, such as ceiling tiles that were sagging and had water stains. But what caused us to leave was the mold/mildew in the bathroom (no fan). Three people in our family had intense upper respiratory reactions whenever they were in the house. The host was gracious about the issue and helped us secure hotel rooms, but the quality of our trip was quite different and we ended up leaving early. We were very disappointed - we planned this trip for a year.

This house has become our favorite place to stay in Charlevoix. The location can’t be better- steps to the beach and a quick walk into town. The front porch is our favorite spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Great communication from the hosts and all around a lovely stay. We already booked our return trip for next summer!

The best indicator of quality in a person or property is what happens when there is a hiccup. This property was as-advertised when we arrived. It may even undersell itself regarding location. The view to Lake Michigan through the park and trees and the sound of breaking waves when the surf is up bring instant relaxation and contentment. We were missing a small item and contacted the owners. They replied quickly and graciously, several times, to assure we had what we needed. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality.

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!

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.
