It's in a perfect location. The view from the place is spectacular. Close to everything we wanted to do. The only thing that we thought it needed were wash cloths for the bathrooms and it should state clearer that the firepit is across the road. We will be saving this vrbo for the next trip we take in that area and recommending it to others.

We came for a wedding at Castle Farms and wish we had more time to enjoy this property and view! So close to town, comfortable beds, great big couch for relaxing. It was too chilly to enjoy the patio, but the view of the Lake was unbelievable!! Views in 2 of the bedrooms also- King and Queen rooms with view. Would love to come back!

The bluewater cottage, nestled in among Earl Young’s famous mushroom houses offers a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan! It was the perfect location for our family Easter celebration! The home is clean and the kitchen well-stocked. The living room is welcoming with its stone fireplace, large seating area and a very comfortable leather chair. Its convenient location provides easy access to the beach and downtown Charlevoix. The host was very responsive and available to answer any questions. We highly recommend this charming vacation home.

This is the second time we've stayed in this home and we'll be back next year. The owner is ready to work with, house is in great condition, view of the lake is amazing, and the fire place is great Short drive to downtown for food or Petoskey for better options.

We love the quiet location of the house and the walkabilty to town.The kitchen is well stocked,the towels are nice and the owner is great at communication. We did notice dog hairs on the couch and pillows giving it an unclean feel. There was also poop in the backyard. The linens weren’t the greatest but the beds were pretty comfy. I stayed in the second room with yellow striped comforter and it seemed to have a dog odor. I realize it’s hard to have rules that are broken by selfish people- ruins it for those of us who bring our dog who's not allowed on the furniture. There may be a critter in ceiling of bathroom with the tub. Noises were heard at night. The tv was nice as well as the fireplace. We’ve stayed here before but since then it seems to need some refreshing. Also, the brown chair is pretty useless….do not know who would want to sit in it. I hope this is helpful. Overall, nice place.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy and comfortable home. Additionally Lake Michigan is right across the street from this home that is in the historic Boulder neighborhood. There are many charming rock homes by Earl Young all around this area. This home is close to town and had many comforts that we really appreciated. We would definitely stay here again!

Stayed for a weekend in February and were blown away by the incredible view of Lake Michigan through snow ladened trees. We loved sitting in the cozy and comfortable livingroom watching the fire in the fireplace and the powerful waves crashing on the shore. We went up for the Friday night candlelit hike at Mt. McSauba which was absolutely magical. Went back Saturday and enjoyed some sledding with the kiddos.

We appreciated everything was exactly as shown in the images, and everything in the house that we possibly could have a question about had a neat label to explain how to use. We had a quick weekend stay in October and it was beautiful.

This is absolutely our favorite place to stay in Charlevoix. In the summer you can sit on the deck and watch the boats and at Thanksgiving you can sit in front of a beautiful, relaxing fire in the stone fireplace. This cottage has all you need. A well stocked kitchen, plenty of space and large picture windows that let in the view of Lake Michigan. We love the peacefulness of this location. You are tucked away in Boulder Village with all the historic "mushroom" cottages but close enough to town to walk to the shops and restaurants. We can't wait for our next visit.

This is our third year in a row of staying in this beautiful home looking at Lake Michigan. Comfortable welcoming cozy house located very close to downtown with awesome views and it’s so nice (weather permitting) to walk the beach and enjoy the nearby park. Just LOVE being there. Already planning next years trip!

Cottage is in an excellent location. It is in a quiet neighborhood and faces Lake Michigan. It is surrounded by historic mushroom houses. Yet it is only a few minutes from downtown Charlevoix. It had all the amenities that we required. Would stay here again.

Our stay at the Blue Cottage was truly perfect. The cottage is even more delightful and lovely in person…..incredible views, comfy furnishings and everything you need for a wonderful and relaxing vacation. We especially enjoyed the cozy living room area and the gorgeous stone fireplace. The location was ideal…..great to be on the lake, but also very convenient walking and driving distance to downtown Charlevoix, restaurants and shopping. We highly recommend!!!

Blue water Cottage is a beauty! The deck has plenty of seating for the unobstructed view of Lake Michigan. Fall asleep on comfortable beds with quality linens… and if you’re lucky enough to have one of the two front bedrooms, you’ll fall asleep to the sound of waves and wake to a stunning view. We watched an eagle enjoy breakfast on the shore one morning. It’s a peaceful location, yet near everything Charlevoix has to offer. Bill was quick to answer our questions and offered clear directions for access and use of the home. We hope to return soon!

We had a wonderful time during our second stay in this property. We enjoyed it in February and wanted to come back and see it in the summer. We had a great time! The cabin is clean and well-stocked and the host is very responsive. The beach and water are very rocky so I'd suggest you bring water shoes. My kids loved the beach and were in the water for hours on end. The beach firepit was great too! Would highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay at this cottage. The property and cottage were beautiful and comfortably fit our family of six. Our boys spent hours on the rocky beach skipping rocks and searching for petosky stones. It was quiet and peaceful in this historic area yet close to town for shopping and restaurants.
