This house, location & host never disappoint! The modern upgrades maintained the integrity of the Earl Young home. The conversion of the fireplace to gas is wonderful! After 50 years of coming to Charlevoix I truly believe this is the prime location for Charlevoix history & charm…

Stay was good. Home was clean, location was close to food/shopping. The view was amazing! The only thing that was a negative was a mildew odor in the home. There were no signs of leaking water that we saw, but the smell of mildew was thick throughout the home.

Beautiful location with all amenities
We thoroughy enjoyed our stay in this mushroom house. It was a special treat for us and worth the extra funds. The beach view from the living area is peaceful, soothing and beautiful. If I were ill, I would want my bed right in front of that big picture window. The host had everything we needed including coffee and steel cut oats for oatmeal. The beds were the most comfortable that I could ask for white traveling. Towels, washer, dryer, dishwasher, fridge all came in very handy. If I every go back, I will book here again.

Absolutely Fabulous!
This was our second stay at this wonderful stone cottage and it did not disappoint. Perfect location, stunning views, so welcoming and cozy. Even better than the photos which are a little outdated. The fireplace conversion to gas and the exceptionally comfortable mattresses were extra bonuses this time around. Jeanne is a delight to work with. Very prompt and helpful. We may never own our own lake home, but we can splurge on this one and that is the next best thing!

Family Long Weekend Getaway
WOW! We try and come to Charlevoix in early summer every year to see friends who own a shop in town before their season gets crazy. We have stayed in Earl Young properties each time but this cottage is AMAZING! So well stocked and perfect location. Plus just all around lovely. We would highly recommend and will be back. Our only regret was that our schedules didn’t allow a longer stay.

Great time and place
We come to this area multiple times a year for rock hunting,hiking, etc. We have been by this house hundreds of times and when we found out we could actually stay here we jumped on it. This was a weekend for the peak of the Eta Aquariids meteor shower and our normal outings. Had awsome sunset and 1 night of clear skys. Walked across the street and did some rock hunting. Grandson tested the water and he also had a blast even shivering! No reservations about recommending or renting this place in the future. ps. dont forget to drive the neighborhood ..

Lovely cottage
We had a wonderful time staying here in Charlevoix. It’s within walking distance of downtown and a short drive to other day trip activities. The view of Lake Michigan is spectacular, the neighborhood is quiet and secluded enough from the downtown area that it’s peaceful but not far away. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed - the property manager was very helpful too! We hope to stay here again!

My sisters and I had a sister get away and this was perfect!! The house was clean, comfortable and the view out the living room window was the best!! A nice quiet neighborhood with amazing homes to see. Close to town with plenty of restaurants and shopping. The Mushroom House Tour is a must. We also enjoyed the local museum and The Circle of Arts. Plenty of things to do or just relax at the house and enjoy the view. Thank you for sharing your home.

Fantastic property!
This stunning early Earl Young boulder cottage is located in the quiet Boulder Park area of town. I've stayed at many rentals, and this one is hands down the cleanest and most well-appointed. Nothing was overlooked, from multiple coffee options, to an extremely comfortable bed, to the soap in every bathroom. Maybe not as critical to renters, but impressive to me: the attention to detail is also clearly apparent in the décor. The light fixtures are unique, beautiful, and appropriate for the style of the house. Even the switch plate covers are gorgeous. Did I just write about switch plate covers? Rent the house, and you'll see why! Of course, the views are spectacular. The large front window with comfy chairs faces directly north, so you are treated to side views of sunrises and sunsets. Grab your beverage of choice, settle into a chair, and watch the day come or go in this peaceful space. When night takes over, turning on the gas fireplace is a breeze and provides warmth and a golden glow to the living room. When you are ready to leave the house, it's a very easy 1 mile walk into town. This time of year (early April), many businesses are still closed for the season, but there were still good places to enjoy a meal. Once you had your fill of downtown, there are so many places to explore within an hour drive in any direction. I would highly recommend this boulder cottage, and I hope that we find a time to visit again!

Beautiful spot on Lake Michigan
The highlight of this property is the beautiful view of Lake Michigan out the picture window. It was cool to be there in late winter to watch blue waves hit the shore, but I can imagine it is pretty cool to be there in the summer we you just have to cross the street to be in the lake. The house itself is of course unique architecture that's very cool, both inside and outside. The house has great amenities -- very nice and stocked kitchen, gas fireplace, and spacious bathrooms and showers. One of the more impressive aspects of this home is that they did a great job updating the home to have the modern amenities that you would expect in a kitchen and in bathrooms, but they really matched the architecture so that it feels like a proper update.

If you've never stayed and are considering this property, then you should book with confidence. From the stone of the building, the water views through all the front windows and clean lake air to the fire sitting near the hearth, this property has all the elements of a wonderful stay.

Wonderful property and host. The property management company does a nice job and Jeanne the host is quite hospitable. As luck would have it it rained most of our time there. But it was still wonderful. The pictures almost do it justice. It really is quite wonderful. Kitchen is top notch. The front window is inviting with a good book and now with a gas fire installed in the beautiful fireplace you’ll be hard pressed to leave home. We’ll be back!!!
