Dreamy Cottage, Perfect Location to Lakes and Town! Cutest Cottage in Charlevoix

The cottage is our family's home away from home. We hope you fall in love with it as much as we have. As a family of 6 it fits us perfectly with a little room to spare. It is a special place that will call you back; you can feel the love!

We chose Charlevoix as our second home because we felt it is a perfect blend of all you could want: beauty, nature, fun, relaxation and Charlevoix is close to other destinations like Traverse City, Petoskey, Boyne City and Mackinac. From strolling the downtown shops, browsing an art fair or festival, walking to the lighthouse, taking a sunset cruise on the one of many charters, getting lost in the town's magnificent library, rock hunting, exploring the fall colors or winter sports, there is something for everyone nearby.

We have all that you need and more at the cottage, we tried to keep it as welcoming, true and authentic as a Michigan cottage could be. We have a 40" HDTV with a blu-ray DVD, Bose speakers and high speed wireless internet for those that need to stay connected. We also offer a gas Weber grill and patio set in the backyard. You get access to both of our paddle boards! Scattered throughout is artwork produced by our daughters and art handed down from our family. We ask you to explore and also respect our home as these things are dear to us.

The house is around 1400 sq ft. There are 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. One bedroom has a new Tempurpedic mattress. The second bedroom has a new full pillow-top mattress and the third bedroom is an open loft space (no door, between the other bedrooms) with 2 comfortable bunk beds (yes suitable for adults!).

Another Amazing Stay

This was our third stay at the blue cottage and we always have an incredible and relaxing experience. It feels like a home away from home with all the amenities and special touches. The location is superb too! A quaint little retreat for anyone wishing to explore in Charlevoix!

Up north

Very cute older home close to skiing and things in town. WiFi worked on cell phones did not work consistently for some reason with our computers. A recommendation would be to have somewhere to place shoes and boots by both doors since not wearing shoesInside and it’s a tight space and winter with the water a mat by the side door would be great, we moved the one from the front. Also recommend more drinking glasses. Small things, the rest was great and would definitely rent again!

Fall Weekend getaway

Darling little house in on a great street 1/2 mile from Charlevoix main street. Very short walk to the Lake Michigan beach. House is very clean and nicely decorated. Beds are super comfortable. Backyard fire pit is amazing, love the solo stove. My husband and I biked to the Little Traverse Wheelway and rode to Petoskey. We also kayaked out of East Jordan. Town beach very nice, also.

Lovely winter cottage

We had a lovely stay in this charming house in Charlevoix. It has recently been renovated and was clean and cozy. The house notes need updating- as there is no longer a lock box on the pillar. Also the Wi-Fi password in the instructions is no longer valid.

Charming home in a great location

The house is exactly as advertised, full of charm and historic character. It was a wonderful home base for a few days of skiing at Boyne and Boyne Highlands. It's in a beautiful neighborhood of tree lined streets and restored cottages. The fireplace in the living room was a great bonus after long days out on the slopes. We'd love to come back for another visit sometime!

Charming cottage

A charming cottage in a good location. My only concern is the lack of a railing on the steep steps to the upstairs. There was a railing on one side, however, there was an opening on the opposite side that I found concerning for children.

Quaint and Homey

This cottage completely charmed us! It has been so lovingly restored with such attention to detail. Everything from wonderful bedding, towels and a well-stocked bath and kitchen to the big cozy furniture made our stay so comfortable. The cottage is in a beautiful historic neighborhood that is a short walk to town. A lovely beach is just a few blocks away! We truly enjoyed our stay!

Our Family Loved our Vacation

The cottage was lovely, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We are a family of 5, and found the house to be the perfect size for us. Note that one of the bedrooms upstairs is actually a loft area with 2 bunk beds. Also, note that there is not a dishwasher (we managed just fine). The walk to the beach is a bit further than advertised, but still close enough to run back if you forgot something or need to grab a bite to eat. Proximity to Charlevoix is about a bike ride away (~1 mile). Very memorable place to stay, and we will likely be back!

Absolutely loved the property. So charming and well appointed at the same time. Really felt at home and hated to leave. Perfect location for us as my brother had just bought a property up the street, unknown to us when we booked! Super quiet neighborhood too. We enjoyed the fire pit several evenings as well. The owners have inspired me with their decorating flair. So creative, collected, and artistically done. Thank you!
