    It was small but well stocked. Futon was hard to close. Beds were comfortable. Close to town and lots to do.

    This is a cute little rustic cottage, 1 of 3 on the property. It comes with everything you need to enjoy your getaway. The kitchen is stocked with the cooking tools to make your own meals, as well as a grill on your patio. It also has public access to Lake Charlevoix, just a short block away. We would definitely stay again!

    Absolutely a great choice for a cozy & cute cabin. Close enough to run into town to grab an item that was forgotten to be packed but far enough away to enjoy sitting in the provided chairs and enjoy the stars. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was perfect size, & the amenities were on point. We loved the cute gas fireplace/heater & used it one of the nights. Our trip north was to attend a family wedding in the area, but since finding this spot, we look forward to staying here again for a vacation and enjoy the grill, swing, & fire pit. While we were excited that the cabin is pet friendly, our current dog dislikes car rides in her old age but loved that the cabin did include items to make pet visits easy.

    These little cabins are clean and comfortable, and very conveniently located. 5 minutes from Charlevoix without the traffic and tourists, with a small beach just steps away. The landlord is a great guy who goes out of his way to make sure your stay is everything you hoped it would be. Book it!

    This home was perfect for our family of four. It is a 1/2 block from a beautiful, sandy beach. The cabin comes equipped with all the amenities you need to cook and grill. The beds were comfy; the wi-fi was excellent; and there is a sweet artesian well on the property with crystal clear water. We will be booking again!

    Mark was a wonderful host. He was helpful in every way possible. The cabin was fairly clean, well stocked, and just a short walk from the beach. He had great suggestions on where to go in town and to make our visit a great experience for our kids. He truly cares about his guests and takes good care of the property. We will definitely be back!

    We were looking for a small getaway from home and this worked out well. The only downfall is that there is no flexibility on more than one dog. We were sad to leave our two pups back home. Not too far from town and there is the Landing which we were able to walk to!

    Very nice small cabin with all the comforts of home. Nice quiet street and well stocked with necessities. Plenty of dishes, pans and utensils and all other items you would find in a hotel room. It’s nice not to worry about every meal out. This is our third stay at a VRBO and we are really satisfied with the alternative from motels and hotels.

    Out stay was nice. The owner, I believe, stopped by to make sure everything was good and made sure we were warm and offered additional heating. Very accommodating. A couple of issues…the property was managed by a separate, off site, company. I felt the check-in instructions seemed delayed. Also, communicating with them was slightly annoying. They couldn’t answer my questions through the Vrbo app and referred me to the on-site management, which I had no means to communicate with. I received multiple messages from different people from the 3rd party with no answer. Other than that, the stay was nice.
