4th of July weekend in Charlevoix

We spent 4th of July weekend at this beautiful newer home in Charlevoix. Attended a wedding at the Castle and this home’s location was perfect for both the wedding and visiting downtown Charlevoix. This house had everything you would need and was extremely clean. Lilly was a wonderful host to deal! We will return and highly recommend this property.
Peaceful setting!

We were attending a wedding at the Castle and this adorable, cozy cabin was super close. What we didn't expect was how absolutely immaculate, comfortable, well stocked and beautifully decorated this place is! It may be the cleanest, newest feeling VRBO we have ever stayed in!

Perfect for us!

The Shed was a great place for our family to stay. It was clean and very well-stocked. The location was very quaint and private. We loved to hang out around the house after an outing to the beach to downtown. Our family especially loved the porch- a good place to hang out to read and unwind. We had good interactions with the owners and felt very taken care of. We definitely recommend The Shed!

Easily 5 stars

We loved our stay. The house is very clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower is extra large with plenty of hot water. The front yard is large and very pretty with numerous beautiful flowers. We spent a lot of time in Boyne, and it was easy to drive to via road and even quicker by ferry. The host provided a much appreciated welcome gift as well. Thank you for providing us a nice place to get away to.

Awesome house!

We stayed in The Shed for 2 nights and it was fantastic! My fiancé and I got married in Charlevoix and it was a perfect 2 night getaway for us for the remainder of our weekend. The house was clean, appliances were brand new, and locationally you are right down the road from Castle Farms, plus an easy drive into downtown Charlevoix. Lilly (the host) was extremely responsive and wonderful to work with. If the opportunity presents itself, we would 100% stay here again!

Thank you for a great stay. The “Shed” is cozy. Perfect size for 4 adults. If you don’t need a lot of space this is perfect. We could have used internet, but got by on cellular data. We were so close to the two wedding venue - Charlevoix yacht club & Castle Farms. Wish we had time to enjoy a bonfire or a nice hike. The Shed was very clean and had all the supplies we needed. Would 100% recommend.
