The lake was perfect, the kids enjoyed kayaking and the campfire pit. My senior parents enjoyed the large deck. The view is gorgeous and the ambiance of the cottage is lovely. The water quality caught us off guard, you will definitely want to buy water or use the britas they provide or else you’ll get a mouthful of sand. Also the barn door upstairs was a little tough to use. Otherwise we had a great stay! ##### Julia A.

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. ##### Jeffrey B. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul B. 29 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Paul B.

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 ##### Donna M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bonnie D. 3 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Bonnie D.
