About this property
BEST LOCATION in CVX! 1.5 blocks from Lake MI Beach & DOWNTOWN CHARLEVOIX!
Two doors down from the Mushroom houses!!! Tucked in the center of Charlevoix, a home perfectly located between town and beach. Once you arrive, forget the car! Lake Michigan Beach Park is 1.5 blocks and the heart of downtown Charlevoix is 1.5 blocks! So easy for the whole family to get around, even children and grandparents!
More than a rental, this cozy home blends historic architectural detail with today's modern amenities. White plank ceilings, bead board covered walls and original restored floors add character. A new gas fireplace, standup shower, claw foot tub, wifi, cable, Weber grill, and fully stocked kitchen will make it easy to relax! A pretty view, directly across from beautiful Charlevoix library!
We want your stay to be peaceful and beautiful. You will have a very comfortable and aesthetically pleasing space with everything you need! A mix of local shop finds with artwork and bedding from Anthropologie :) You'll love the feel as soon as you walk in.
Three bedrooms upstairs to sleep seven in beds and a first floor daybed in the sunroom for the eighth person! We offer conveniences like first floor bathroom, washer and dryer, cable TV, high speed internet, Bose radio, fully equipped granite kitchen, new quilts and throws, Tempurpedic mattress for a perfect sleep, portable crib, beach towels, large cooler, huge beach wagon, shampoos, bath salts, and on and on. We think we've thought of it all to make packing light and your stay easy and great!
Parking is on the street right in front of the cottage, no driveway. We have a beautiful little front yard with a patio table and chairs to eat outside. The white wicker rocker is on the covered front porch. We also have a side deck with a Weber grill. There are 2 beautiful parks right directly across the street from us at the library!
We know how hard it is to plan a family vacation with all the time and research involved. If you are lucky enough to have found any of our cottages in downtown Charlevoix you do not need to look any further. We are our hardest critics (and have a big family to test them out!). From having the cleanest cottages and THE BEST cleaning staff on VRBO to having the most comfortable beds with high end bedding, best stocked kitchens and all around experience, there simply is not a better place to stay in Northern Michigan. All of our cottages in Charlevoix are occupied 100% of the time from mid May to October so please do not hesitate to book (early). We had many instances where guests waited a few hours to book and their week was taken in that short amount of time.

As described, great location walk to everything. Host very responsive, nice area, would stay again. No crowds, not everything was open but enough to fill a few days! Close to petosky and Mackinac.
Comfortable cute and supplied the necessaries coffee paper products clean towels comfy beds AC etc. Lots of great hangout spaces in home, close to shops and lake.
We had a fantastic stay on Grant St. The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. We enjoyed walking to the beach or into town. Cant wait to visit again
This is our third time to Charlevoix and second summer in a row staying at this house. The location can’t be beat, as it is close to both downtown and the beach. Shawn does a great job maintaining the house and is always super responsive with questions and extremely accommodating for my family. We can’t wait to come back again.
This property was the perfect location for a girls' weekend away to Applefest. We all feel in love with the house...clean, well-appointed decor and furnishings, and very comfortable. We're already talking about our next visit. Thanks for being a big part of a weekend enjoyed by all!
This house was perfect for our stay in Charlevoix. The location can’t be beat - short walk to downtown and to the beach - and it was so nice to leave the cars parked and walk everywhere. I loved the house! It had everything we needed from a well-stocked kitchen to very comfortable beds. The layout of the house was great for our family - plenty of space to chill on a comfy couch or daybed for a little rest time😉 Thank you to Shawn for being the perfect host - we will definitely stay here again.
We’ve been coming to Charlevoix since childhood to visit family. We now bring our littles to experience the joy of the beaches, downtown, food, and enjoy time with our extended family. We’ve stayed in a handful or more rental homes, but this was the best. The location, set up of the home, and host communication made our stay truly wonderful. The attention to details for all ages is spot on. Thank you for the beautiful memories 💕
Charlevoix is a beautiful town. We fell in love with Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix. And, this home was perfect for our stay. The location is wonderful- walk a couple minutes one way to the beach, and a few in the other direction to town. We had plenty of room, but the house still felt cozy. Shawn was a wonderful host- communication was easy. Not sure when we will return to Michigan, but we hope we can stay in one of his properties next time.
This property was very clean and well appointed. We enjoyed the large living room that was very relaxing, especially with the gas fireplace. We did minimal cooking, but it was nice to have plenty of cookware and dishes. The sheer window coverings made for less privacy and were not dark enough for sleeping with the streetlight shining in and once it was daylight. Otherwise, it is a nice home.
Very nice, clean and comfortable place. Check in went well and the house was great. The only issue we had was that the breaker for the bathroom lights tripped a couple of times. Not sure what we had plugged in to trip it but it really was no big deal. Just reset it and all was good.

Location was excellent as expected for the price. The house was in good condition but there are a couple minor downsides for consideration. There is no HVAC upstairs which can make for uncomfortable sleeping. Also right now there’s heavy construction going on next door which causes a lot of noise and many people/trucks coming and going throughout the day.
Quaint, clean, comfortable, with everything we needed. Outdoor area with table chairs & portable fire pit. Walking distance to the beach and town.Great place to stay, highly recommended.
