Perfect bliss

This little gem is our secret quiet space. Always so clean, just the perfect size and a tub to melt in. After we relax a couple days, plenty to see and do in the area. We found a new state park to explore, enjoyed a local resturant and wallowed in the big comfy bed all the next morning...see you again next fall!!

This cottage is well appointed and very well cared for. I found several nice little touches left by the host. The home is in a very quite neighborhood and super close to Lake Michigan. We stayed for a ski trip, but can't wait to return in the summer time.

Peaceful solitude!

Adorable cozy cottage in a VERY quiet neighborhood. The home was very clean and very well accommodated (paper products, soaps, a few small goodies and plenty of coffee options to get us through our first couple mornings) comfortable beds and great communication with host. We really enjoyed the short walk to the beautiful Mt Mcsauba beach, hiking the trails, awesome sunset views with multiple vantage points (awesome view from top of Mt Mcsauba!) we used the beach chairs, beach umbrella, cooler, and beach wagon which made our long beach days excellent! We really appreciated the host allowing us to use the garage 110 volt outlet to keep our electric car continuously charging at night. Hope to visit again someday!

Wonderful stay!

The place was just the right size for our family. Beautiful quiet location!! Great price point as well for being so close to the lake. I’m very picky when it comes to cleanliness but this place was very clean. Nancy was a great host and even left us some little goodies that my boys enjoyed. We would definitely love to stay again.

Charlevoix Cottage

Such a nice cottage, well-kept and clean. The kitchen was fully equipped and the host left coffee, snacks, candy, etc for the guests. Plenty of linens, towels, even firewood (as we stayed during the winter). A beautiful location, quiet neighborhood, about two minutes from the lake and adjacent to a park with hiking trails, deer everywhere. Overall, a very pleasant stay!

We absolutely loved our stay. Nancy was the perfect host! She had everything you could possibly need in the cottage and always quickly responded when I reached out to her. We loved the Mt. McSauba area. The neighborhood and beach was very quiet and family friendly. During the week we often had the entire beach all to ourselves! We are hoping to return again next summer.
