Lake Michigan View-Private Carriage House with Deck, Spacious & Quiet, 2 bedroom

10/10 Excellent

"We knew we were paying a higher price but it looked so perfect when looking for our stay. Secluded area with a beautiful view. Morning coffee on the balcony and wine later as we waited to leave for a wedding. Close enough to shopping. The place is beautiful. Everything you could need and then things you may have forgotten. Sparkling water in the fridge. The bed was so comfortable. I can’t say enough. Highly recommend if you enjoy quiet spaces."

AmericInn by Wyndham Charlevoix

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff. Breakfast was very good."

Stewart's Folie on Lake Charlevoix

10/10 Excellent

"Cute place to stay"

House on Susan Lake, Charlevoix, Michigan

10/10 Excellent

"We truly couldn’t have had a better time than we did at Kathy’s while in town visiting. The cabin was so relaxing. We had a fire one night and took the canoe out fishing. The lake is so incredibly peaceful and we managed to see and hear the loons as well. Charlevoix was only 10 mins and Petoskey about 20. Truly the most charming cabin. If you’re looking to book something quiet and relaxing, this is your place! "

14 Mi to Slopes: Lodge on 104 Acres in Boyne City

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful property! The accommodations were excellent for our extended family! The kitchen was perfectly appointed with everything we needed for cooking. There was so much to do there with games in the lower level, fires in the firepit, and close to so many outdoor activities! We had an amazing time!! Grandkids loved the out door playground!"

Beautiful Lake Charlevoix Sandy Beach- Best North Shore Location

10/10 Excellent

"Cute house! Great views & location on quiet bay on the lake. Nice beds, sheets, towels and pillows. Well appointed kitchen and good laundry facilities. Only word of caution - if you are traveling with a infant or toddler, the stairs to the upper two levels are challenging because they are steep and not kid-safe. The room with the crib is on the third floor and the crib is a nice wooden one, but not easily moveable without taking it apart."

Gather. Unwind. Huge. Hot Tub. Game Rm! <1 mile from Lk MI, ADA & kid friendly!

10/10 Excellent

"Great property for large groups! Clean and close to Charlevoix and Petoskey. Never felt like we were on top of each other with all of the different spaces."

Waterfront Home Lake Charlevoix Oyster Bay Mooring Buoy Private Dock Beach fire!

8/10 Good

"The host was great! We had a really good time, it’s a very fun area and it was cool being in the bay and seeing all of the sailboats and yachts. The neighbors came down and told us we had jet skis parked on their part of the shoreline, we politely moved them (we were unaware they were on their property) after that the lady watched up through binoculars all weekend, we had a fire by the beach on our last night there and they turned on spotlights to watch us. Over all other than the neighbors, we had a fantastic vacation!"

Secluded, log cabin chalet 16+ custom outdoor fire pit, air hockey, 2 hot tubs!

10/10 Excellent

"This home was amazing! It was the perfect place for our entire family to stay for our daughter's wedding. We were very comfortable in the space...inside and out! Every attention to detail was met and it was even better than we anticipated! Mandy was excellent with communication, and very helpful. I would highly recommend this property for a large family getaway!"
