Lovely!
This is not just a comfortable house located in a quiet neighorhood, but it is also a beautiful house. Everything is first rate. It is the sort of house that feels like it is someone's home, with everything just as you would want it. The beds are comfortable, the linens plush. The house is small, but fine for us. Kitchen is a little small, but perfectly adequate. Eveeything is as described, in fact even exceeding my expectations. Really, this is a lovely piece of property. perfect for a couple.

Conveniently located cottage
Overall our stay met our expectations. We could do all the things we came to this area to do. The community “dog friendly” beach around the corner was an extra bonus. Plenty of linens and towels plus a supply of toiletries were available. Our only concern was the refrigerator never got down to the proper temperature, the freezer was fine though.

Cute Cottage Close to Charlevoix
Cottage was super cozy. Very nice on the inside and location was private and quiet. Nice and relaxing and felt like home rather than a hotel. Enjoyed walking to the beach and house was located reasonably close to Charlevoix and Petoskey. My family had a great stay and enjoyed our time there. Did find communications with owner a little unclear. The number listed in the info binder was not up-to-date. And this is probably a personal preference but I did find the smell of the well water off-putting.

Quaint Cottage
You can tell a lot of love went into the design and decor of this lovely cottage. We were attending our daughter’s wedding at Castle Farms & we were on a hectic schedule, so we were in & out several times a day. However, we did find time to take wonderful walks down by the lake, even taking a cool dip in the lake waters in late September. Gerry was so kind. I will not go into the whole story, but he actually lent me his dress shoes when an unfortunate accident happened to my dress shoes right before walking my daughter down the aisle. It was a memorable week and this cottage fulfilled our needs very well.

Overall a very positive experience. There were a few maintenance items that I would have liked to have addressed, but nothing was a show stopper. Kids had a good time, and enjoyed playing with some of the toys that were included. Beds were very comfortable and bedrooms were spacious.

There were nice views from all the windows, of the garden, flowers, trees, and greenery. The Lake Michigan beach was nearby and wonderful. We will definitely be back next summer!

We had a fantastic stay at this cottage. We brought along our small dog and had no problems at all on the property- plenty of open spaces to walk her. The online pictures of the cottage and grounds are spot on. We used the toaster and the Sur La Table oven to make bacon, hot dogs, salmon, etc. The electric cooktop was perfect for scrambled eggs. Very clean, everything we needed was there. Great communication with hosts. Gerry came by when we arrived to say hello and to make sure we were good. We do drive an EV car and he let us plug in to the outdoor outlet and we had no problems at all- no fuses blown as we kept the charge at the lowest level. You can walk down to the shore but we decided to drive there- literally took 1 minute. They had beach chairs we could use in the closet, and we did do a couple of loads of laundry with no problems at all. I would 100% stay here again. It was a lovely time! We really enjoyed our stay here.

Best Cottage Close to SO Much
Wonderful unique and custom cottage that our fam of four loved. This area has so much to offer yet we were still drawn back to the comfort of the cottage. Photos don’t do it justice, plenty of space, close to Antrim Creek Natural Area, breweries, Charlevoix, preserves, beaches, and a five minute walk to Lake MI. Host was wonderful, loved it all.

Cottage stay
This property was a good jumping off point for our visits to Charlevoix, Torch Lake & Petosky. It shares the same driveway as the owners that live right next door. The beach was a reasonable walk from the house, very rocky but nice. Not a dealbreaker, but the screen door leading to the backyard was super difficult to work with. The sleeping arrangements work well for us and our 3 children.

Perfect family getaway
We had an amazing time at the cottage. It was the perfect location for our little family. Our dog had plenty of room to roam in the beautiful backyard. We loved the cute little kids bed, and it was the perfect place for our 11 month old to sleep since we didn’t have a crib. It was close to a quiet little beach area, a 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive. We loved the feeling of being away from the city but still close enough to run into town for brunch or dinner. We made the 1.5 hour drive to see Mackinac Island and Sleeping Bear Dunes during our stay. Lisa and her dad, Jerry were the nicest hosts and we appreciated their hospitality. We can’t wait to visit the cottage again. ☺️

Truly delightful stay! Lisa was very attentive to any need we may have had and was easy to reach throughout our stay. We have a 6- and 4yo, and loved saying hi to Boomer the friendly Golden Retriever across the way. We were very comfortable and everything was so pleasant. I even got a ton of cherries canned into cherry tomatoes ie filling. Lisa definitely deserves to be a super host!

This was our home base during a nearby family reunion, and the perfect place to rest and recharge. Everything was so comfortable and well-appointed.
