Thanks for sharing your cute and cozy cabin with us. It was clean and comfortable and met our needs. The only note I'd add for future renters with mobility issues; you will need to walk from the driveway up a slight incline through the grass to reach the cabin. There is no driveway next to the cabin.

The location was great, only a mile from Castle Farms, where we attended a family wedding. Lilly was a wonderful host. The Shed was very clean, the beds and pillows were great, and the property is beautiful! If we are ever back in Charlevoix, we will hope to stay here again.

We loved the location and the serenity of the cabin. Only thing I'd say needs tending to are a few dead bugs under windows, however being up north and in the woods, you have to expect that. I loved the property and Julie was so kind. We will definitely want to come back!

A fantastic stay! The cabin was super clean, peaceful and beautiful. Lilly was kind and helpful. We enjoyed our short hikes on the large property, seeing deer, woodpeckers and toads. The campfire was perfect every evening for making s'mores and relaxing under the stars. The beds were comfortable. Great location for exploring Charlevoix, Petoskey state park, canoeing on the Jordan and shopping. We would stay again!

4th of July weekend in Charlevoix

We spent 4th of July weekend at this beautiful newer home in Charlevoix. Attended a wedding at the Castle and this home’s location was perfect for both the wedding and visiting downtown Charlevoix. This house had everything you would need and was extremely clean. Lilly was a wonderful host to deal! We will return and highly recommend this property.

The Shed was a great place for our family to stay. It was clean and very well-stocked. The location was very quaint and private. We loved to hang out around the house after an outing to the beach to downtown. Our family especially loved the porch- a good place to hang out to read and unwind. We had good interactions with the owners and felt very taken care of. We definitely recommend The Shed!

We loved our stay. The house is very clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower is extra large with plenty of hot water. The front yard is large and very pretty with numerous beautiful flowers. We spent a lot of time in Boyne, and it was easy to drive to via road and even quicker by ferry. The host provided a much appreciated welcome gift as well. Thank you for providing us a nice place to get away to.

We stayed in The Shed for 2 nights and it was fantastic! My fiancé and I got married in Charlevoix and it was a perfect 2 night getaway for us for the remainder of our weekend. The house was clean, appliances were brand new, and locationally you are right down the road from Castle Farms, plus an easy drive into downtown Charlevoix. Lilly (the host) was extremely responsive and wonderful to work with. If the opportunity presents itself, we would 100% stay here again!
