Wonderful home

We had a group of 4, for my girlfriend’s 65th! Kaye went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for our 4 night stay including picking up the cake to surprise her! Positively the perfect location for walking to dinner, shopping and sunsets every night!

Hilltop Cottage is our new Happy Place!

I have only the best things to say about our stay at Hilltop Cottage. The entire experience exceeded any and all expectations! Hilltop Cottage had everything we needed (and then some), the location is out-of-this world and the host made the check-in/check-out process extremely simple and straightforward. The house has so much charm and truly felt like a home-away-from-home for our few days there. We thoroughly enjoyed playing board games, drinking coffee on the porch, campfires at night and being able to be downtown in a matter of minutes. Hilltop Cottage is our new Happy Place and we cannot wait to book our next trip!

Hilltop Cottage Marathon weekend

Perfect location and home for families and small groups. We had 4 adults and 3 children (ages 4-14). The home is comfortable with plenty of space for meals and games in the dinning room and outside. We used the grill on site, lemonade stand and backyard. It is a short walk to the beach, grocery store, playground and shopping downtown. This was our second year staying at Hilltop and we will definitely come back next year.

Everything we hoped for and more!

I was the star of our sister's trip having found this gem in Charlevoix. We could easily walk to everything - shopping, coffee, the beach, etc. We loved to walk to the bridge and watch the sunset. A great base to visit Mackinac Island, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Petoskey. But the best part was getting back to the cottage for wine and talk on the front porch. Would book again in a minute!

Family vacation

We had a lovely stay at this house. The location is perfect for walking into town and the beach. Our teens loved the autonomy its proximity offered them. I was concerned that it was going to be too hot in the upstairs bedrooms but fans were provided and positioned near the AC vent, which kept it cool. Towels, beach towels, paper products, hand and dish soap were provided which was helpful. I loved spending time on the front porch in the morning and evenings. The house was equipped with everything that we needed. Thanks for sharing your home with us. We fell in love with Charlevoix!

Lovely lakeside town

I selected this property to stay at during the Charlevoix race weekend. This was the first time I had been to Charlevoix. It was a perfect location not only for race proximity, but also just a walk across the drawbridge to stores and restaurants. Our group would love to come back and stay at this property again. There was more than enough room for our families to enjoy this time together.

Lovely & convenient to downtown Charlevoix

Girls get-a-way week in Charlevoix. We all appreciated losing the dependence on our cars and being able to walk everywhere around town. We did take a couple of day trips (Mackinac Island and Alden for the 2nd Annual Torch Lake Whitefish Festival) that were easy destinations to reach from Hilltop Cottage. Second time staying here and would gladly stay here again in the future.
