Sunsets are amazing and after sunset the dark sky above the lake allows amazing views of the stars and milky way.

The cabin offered lots of space for sleeping and relaxing. Disapointing only part of the gas grill worked and appears time for a replacement. We also didnt realize there was no central air, our fault for not asking. Only a window unit in one bedroom and with the extra hot weather not sufficient to cool the rest of the house. But we made due and still managed to have a great time. If it wasn't so hot I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem. Everyone felt the beds could use an upgrade. The family enjoyed all the quirkiness of the house and the nice library. Had a great time together and visiting sites in and around Charlevoix! ##### Pamela B.

The cottage was perfect for our group - my wife and I along with two of our daughters and their boyfriends. The place is bigger than it appears in the pictures. It was clean and well appointed. The deck on the back is worth the rental price all by itself. We practically lived out there when not enjoying the beach. We know the area very well, so the slightly remote location was not an issue. The beach is rocky, but we really enjoyed it and found about 100lbs of Petosky stones! The public beach just down the road is very sandy if that is what you're looking for. Perfect sunsets and very relaxing. We would highly recommend. ##### TJ B.

Home is enough big to accommodate 8 people. I went with my daughter and her girlfriends, they have a lot of fun, however the tide was high so they were unable to do fire pit due to beach was cover with the water but they went kayaking and canoeing so they were very happy. I have do one comment about the bugs and insects , was a lot of them so be prepared to take some sprays and the water at home had very heavy odor so just take a lot of water bottles with you. Overall we enjoyed our stay and have a lot of good memories, the sunset is unforgettable. ##### Maria M. ### 6/10 Okay #### Mary D. 2 Aug 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Our Time in Michigan The check in communication with the owner was a little challenging. The house is a funky grandma's cottage vibe filled with knickknacks and could do with a deep clean and updating. The showers are tiny. The location is beautiful. Unfortunately the lake is high so we did not have beach access at the house. There is a small public beach about 5 min (by car) down the road. We kept the windows open and the temperature was lovely. We tried grilling but couldn't get it lit. We bought and donated a charcoal grill for the deck. The toaster did not work. We made a game of figuring out the lights and the switches. Overall, it was a positive experience in a breathtakingly beautiful location. ##### Mary D. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeffrey M. 26 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful View We loved the "Grandma's cottage" vibe, home-like with great window views, great deck with tables, and private outdoor space. Sinks, showers, toilets all very clean. Lots of towels and blankets, all clean. However, a spring cleaning is badly needed. I swept away many cobwebs, not currently used spider webs, empty dusty cobwebs. Very musty, probably old books, furniture, and carpet contributing to that. Grill didn't work when we arrived so tried to broil in oven; however, it is in the bottom drawer of the old gas stove and door is partly broke off and very greasey so didn't use. Gas tank for grill turned out to be empty and owner did tell us where spare tank was when we asked next day. Gas stove oven cooks extra hot. Kitchen is very well stocked. All of Grandma's cookware seems to be there still: silverware, spatulas, fry pans (probably old teflon), pots, knives, pasta cutter, crockpots, china,... Only shortage is soup/cereal bowls, 3 plastic ones available. Kitchen has a pantry closet but can't put food in it because it has poisonous bug sprays and household cleaners in it that smell strongly. There is a shelf on the wall though that works great. Also many spices available. All in all it was what we were looking for and we had a nice time. ##### Jeffrey M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kara D. 21 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely, Secluded, and Charmingly Quirky This place was great! Views and sunsets cannot be beat! Owner is very responsive and proactive. The water was super high at the property (owner pre-warned us) but we still had fun there finding Petosky and Charlevoix stones. There is also a secluded and sparsly-populated beach 1.5 miles North with easy access and a lot of sand. Property is roughly 20 minutes from downtown Charlevoix for dining and shopping options. Only downsides: 1) SPIDERS! But yo, you’re in a wooded area with a bunch of bugs, it’s like a spider dream buffet. 2) Address doesn’t show in NAV system or Google Maps. My college-age daughter came up a day after us and we got around this by telling her to search for 4## Lake Shore Dr (not Lakeshore Dr, because it makes a difference) and then just keep going. Once you hit the county line, the road changes to dirt and the numbers change to the 11### format. It’s a mile past that. TIPS: 1) Bring a snorkel and mask for any geology nerds looking for our state stone. 2) There IS a tv, but it’s in a closet by the blue sofa. Don’t tell your kids. We taught them Euchre and Rummy and have created monsters who now understand the importance of strategic thinking. 3) Stop at a fresh fruit stand on the way up. I have never had better strawberries or blueberries in my life. 4) Master bath shower: 3 o’clock is a good starting point for warm enough to not scald you. ##### Kara D.

We had fun hunting for petoskey stones on the beach. We drove to Charlevoix and Petoskey for visits. The home was lovely and fit our family well. We had a family of 2 adults and 3 young kids, and couple, and another adult. The three bedrooms worked well. It was nice to have a long table to sit at and eat altogether. Great deck too, though we didn't use it much due to weather. ##### Heather S.

The rooms are huge, the deck is amazing and the views are fantastic. We spent every night sitting outside watching the sun set. It was also really cool to have access to the kayaks. We paddled out a ways and took in the crystal clear Lake Michigan water. We are looking forward to coming back! ##### Nicole B.

It is steps away from the beaches of Lake Michigan. We enjoyed long walks along the shore and the relaxing sound of the water. Experience beautiful sunsets from the large windows overlooking the lake. This cottage was centrally located and just a short drive away from many northern Michigan attractions including Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, Petoskey. After a long day exploring we were so happy to crawl into the comfy beds. I would recommend this rental to my friends and family.

This was our base for exploring the local area which is Hemingway country as well as mackinac Island, Sleeping Bear park and Traverse City. Stop #9 at Sleeping Bear is the best view I have seen and moves the Cliffs of Moher down a notch. The owner recommended Friske for pies and baked goods and we had some there and took some home with us. The Lake behind the cabin has a rocky bottom which can be slippery so I recommend some footwear to prevent slipping but the water was exhilarating. The house is packed with books - many have a local connection - this is a great touch. Wonderful vacation.

Our family came to this place to use it as a base for exploring northern Michigan - and ended up staying "at home" for most of the time simply because we were enjyoing ourselves so much. This cottage was beyond our expectation. Beautiful located, spacious, cozy and comfortable, well stocked and full of atmosphere. We didn't miss anything at all. We loved sitting on the deck with it's great view over Lake Michigan for breakfast, lunch, dinner, afternoon tea, reading, napping, playing and much more. It was hard to leave all the unhunted Charlevoix and Petoskey stones on that that lovely little beach, and to get the kids out of the shallow and warm water of Lake Michigan, which is perfect for swimming for children in this area. We envy the owners for this property and would love to return! This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 22 Jan 2012 #### Lovely Waterfront Setting We like to play on and in the water, and this location, with it's clean and fairly shallow water was wonderful for swimming and paddling. The sunsets are to die for, yet the house is protected from hot sun by the many tall trees surrounding it. We enjoyed combing the beach for Petoskey and Charlevoix stones. The house is fascinating, full of books, all kinds of dishes, and art objects collected by people who clearly led full and interesting lives there. It is an unpretentious, lovely home, comfortable in both the physical and emotional senses. It is very difficult to avoid relaxing there, yet it is only 10-15 minutes from interesting shopping and good restaurants. We visited lovely out-of-the-way nature areas, quiet enough that we almost stepped on a beautiful little green frog in the reeds. It's a good base for visiting the many "up north" Lake Michigan tourism sites. The kitchen is small but complete, and cooking for 8 people was not a problem. The deck is big enough that we could gather our group out there, or sit separately and have personal space. Viewing the big lake under the moon and stars wasn't too shabby, either. We will definitely return.

Old-fashioned character with modern conveniences. Three spacious bedrooms. Master suite is especially charming! Lots of large windows for a great view of lake. Deck along back of house with steps to beach. We loved the sunsets! We had a lovely weekend and would love to return!

We especially enjoyed the deck, the bedroom above the spiral stairs, the woods, the beach, the views, stone skipping and Petoskey stone hunting. Nice location, plenty of room, lots of waterfront, well stocked kitchen, and lots of interesting art and knick-knacks on the walls. We hope to return! ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Pismo Lighthouse Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Pismo-Lighthouse-Suites.h10966.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Napoleon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Goulding's Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monument-Valley-Hotels-Gouldings-Lodge.h11899033.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information) ---
