House was great, close to everything needed. Home owners thought of everything you would need to stay here. Love the house! Would definitely stay here again. Tanya was a great host.
I have never been to upper Michigan! Beautiful area lots of small towns with great shopping, beautiful scenery. Stayed in Charlevoix, walked downtown, walked to the beach! Wonderful!
Property is lovely elegant casual. So nice, but totally relaxing. Perfect location to enjoy Charlevoix and surrounding area. We did Tunnel of Trees. Apple festival was awesome!
This house was in the perfect location for all the day trips we wanted to take as well as the short walk to the charming town of beautiful Charlevoix. We were very impressed with the hospitality of the locals and the dog friendly businesses. We truly fell in love with this area. We will be back again💕

It was perfect for our labs and us! It was clean and located close to everything! We highly recommend!!!
Our daughter was in a wedding in Charlevoix over Labor Day weekend. Our daughter, son-in-law, 16 month old grandson, my wife and I enjoyed this rental. It is very well located in a quiet, charming neighborhood and is a short walk from the main dining and shopping areas in town and from Lake Michigan. We would highly recommend this property!
Back n side yard fenced, good. After wonderful day of walking around Charlevoix, just wanted to go back n relax, watch some TV or play cards. Beds, couch, and diningroom chairs were uncomfortable
We (husband, myself and golden retriever) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All the extra touches made it perfect! Fenced in yard, puppy blanket and towels, all the literature you could want to help plan your days in the area and location location. Opening the doorwall and hearing the waves on Lake Michigan was blissful. Town is walking distance from the home. The host provided all the comforts of home you would ever need.
We travel with two large dogs and this place had a large fenced yard that made it a perfect place for us.
Location is excellent, walk to the beach, walk to downtown and located in a nice quiet neighborhood. Plenty of parking.
House was a great space for two couples and it had a whole separate area (that we never used) with bunk beds if you had kids along. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed.
If you are a rock hound the local beaches and State Park will occupy you for days.

We had a great experience with our family (including 1 year old and dog). The fenced in back yard was perfect for them both to play. The location was easily walkable to downtown Charlevoix and beach access. The setup was perfect for relaxing on the back deck on hanging out inside for a down day. A great vacation spot, would recommend.
We had a wonderful stay, the location is perfect to downtown, beaches. The kitchen is fully stocked if you want to cook and the bedding was fresh and soft. Very clean as well. Fenced in backyard was key for the pups while we sat on deck under the lights absolutely gorgeous evenings. Our weather was in low 70s so the small window A/C units were sufficient but if it heated up anymore it would be stuffy inside. Perhaps, a larger window unit to consider in living room. Thanks for a fabulous visit.
Great stay with plenty of beds for the whole family. We booked during a ski getaway at Boyne and the drive to the mountain was easy. The rental was clean, modern and nicely decorated, quality bedding, new bright white towels, plenty of kitchen accessories for cooking and space. Plus a gas fireplace to feel cozy. It was a bit cold in the bunk bed room which is a converted garage but space heaters provided did the trick. We didn't use the washer and dryer but they look top notch. Plus, owners responded immediately when I asked a question via VRBO site. Would recommend for any season!
So charming! We will be back! Starting with prompt and complete communication from the property manager and easy check-in process, this home was perfect. They even had dog bowls ready for our little goldendoodle. I appreciated that they asks quests not to have dogs on beds and couches, as I'm allergic to some dogs. The home is on a charming street with a short couple blocks walk to the beach. From the beach you can walk into town (with the lake level water so low this year). Otherwise it's a cute stroll down a couple more blocks and you are in downtown Charlevoix. A perfect place for any season of the year. Wonderful deck and grill for summer and fall and a fireplace inside for the winter. Charming and cozy decor. Loved our stay! Great for two couples, friends, or a family with kids! Thanks
My husband, and I so enjoyed our stay in this little gem. It was well appointed, incredibly clean, quiet, and just what we were looking for! The backyard was fenced in for our small dog, and it was even well appointed for the dog! Towels, doggy bags, etc. The bedding and linens were superb! I think the bed was more more comfortable than mine at home, which I absolutely love! Towels were clean and bright and looked brand new. The laundry room had a great washer and dryer and I have now decided I need to replace mine! and location was fantastic. Safe and convenient!!! Entering an exiting the property with super simple. There was never a need to contact the owners. The neighbors were even friendly to us and helpful when I had questions. The owners responded quickly and provided great information inside the home. A Great place to stay when enjoying this area! We are “be backs!!”
This house was perfect for us and our dogs. Very cozy. Charming decor, lovely/quiet neighborhood, kitchen beautifully stocked. Fenced in yard was lovely for our dogs. Darling deck area. Very comfortable beds. Super close to downtown Charlevoix. We could not have been more pleased. Hosts were wonderful as well.
