Great Weekend Get-Away
We had a great time this weekend in Charlevoix. The house was gorgeous, property was very pretty and of course the water being right there is such a perk and it was clear & beautiful. Beds were comfortable and house was clean. We were five minutes from Castle Farms where my niece was married so that was also a major perk. Booking, checking in and out and the stay itself was great. Thank you.

Peaceful getaway
The cabin was great. It was clean, kitchen had everything we needed, having wifi was nice. Everything was as described. Host quick to respond, check in easy. We used the fire pit, no wood, but we found some for sale in town. Loved that kayaks and row boats were there. Downtown Charlevoix and lake michigan beaches only about 10-15 minutes away. We had a great stay!!

The house was very clean. Linens were dated and more blankets for the beds would have been nice. The house had everything you would need to stay. The lake and large deck were fantastic.

Great place to relax, get away
This place was about 10-15 minutes away from downtown Charlevoix. The property has been well-maintained, especially outside. The entire exterior of the house and the landscaping around it is immaculate. Things I wish I knew before I arrived: -we need to make the beds upstairs ourselves (put on the sheets) -the house uses well water so you want to bring bottled water Kim was very responsive to all communication and was very focused on solving problems, which I really appreciated.

Could have been better!
The setting is ok, cabin itself was nice. Not impressed with the host communication. This is the first time on using VRBO that we had to make the beds on arrival. The sheets and towels were in a tub in the closet. They were well used and had a smell to them that was not fresh and clean. The downstairs bathroom was dark and the shower could use a good scrubbing. The downstairs 2 bedrooms each had only 1 working lamp. There were floor lamps plugged in but no light came on. The upstairs loft and bathroom was nice but the only working light was the 1 in the bathroom. There was a lamp in the loft but it was not working. There was a ceiling fan which worked but again the light on the fan did not work. The water from the well had a terrible odor. Would not use it for anything but showering. The shower had no hot water the first couple of days. The host sent someone out to fix that. The lake was a fishing lake with no dock, not suited for swimming. There were wasps by the entry door which did not have a screen, so some wasps got in the cabin. There was a can of wasp spray on the porch but as this was an ongoing problem more should have been done. A couple of windows could not open because the crank was broken. We had invited family members to join us but after assessing the situation we were too embarrassed to offer them such meager accommodations. We expected more for $300 a night. The place needs a good cleaning and refurbishing. Would not return or reccomend this propert

Best rental ever!!
Our adult family stayed several days while attending my son's wedding at Castle Farms. It was perfect! Conveniently located near the venue, Lake Michigan and Charlevoix stores, yet offered a serene, relaxing retreat from the bustle of wedding preparations and events. House was beautiful, clean, comfortable and well stocked with all we needed, plus amazing lake views, grazing deer, and lovely hilly vistas of neighboring farm properties as we traveled to and from or went for walks! The weather was wicked for late October, but we felt safe and cozy with the electric fireplace, sturdy log construction and inviting charm of the home. Will definitely come back in the summer to enjoy swimming, kayaking, horseshoes and outdoor campfires, etc. The owner was very prompt and responsive to my inquiries about a full length mirror and blankets at the home (had both)! It was perfect for our needs and beyond. Thank-you!

Hidden Gem
The setting is perfect, peaceful countryside and lake. Yet only 10 minutes to Charlovoix. Since we stayed after the summer season we had the whole lake to ourselves for Kayaking and fishing. The host Kim was supper responsive and helpful. If you go bring water since the well water has some odor, do not expect a luxury bathroom or master suite, it's a nice cottage.

Fantastic!
This place checks off all of the boxes. Whether you're an outdoors fan or a city fan, this location has both. The lake and home are ideal for a quiet getaway, fishing, lakeside with a fire, kayaking and wildlife watching. The city of Charlevoix is a 15 minute drive away if dining, shopping and Lake Michigan strolls are your thing. If I was in the market, I would look to buy a property like this one. The host made sure that the property had everything we needed and the entire experience was effortless and stress-free. Great getaway! Thank you!

Needs Attention
The positive features to this rental was its location, log structure, owners quick reply, 11 o’clock check out and great deck, two row boats and 2 kayaks. On the negative side some of the outdoor and indoor furniture should be disposed it is so “ratty”, the water is not drinkable and smells, the kitchen needs a good cleaning as well as the windows and screens. The beach is eroding and needs some attention ,a dock would be a plus. I wanted to love this place but the positives don’t make up for the negative aspects at any price
