Lake view, with limited access. You can find paths down to lake (one at east end of fence, one to the west of the driveway). Beach and boat access are miles away.

We loved the stay, great decor, relaxing getaway. Deck and living room windows have wonderful view of the lake. We made smores at the fire pit in the large yard. Our kids enjoyed the bedrooms and large comfy couch. 3 mintues to the beach and marina where we rented a pontoon. Would recommend

Our family rents a VBRO vacation rental every year for many years. We have always had beautiful homes in many different areas, Michigan City, Ottawa, Indiana, and other Midwest areas. But this lovely Charlie's Cottage , was the perfect place for our family this year. Beautifully decorated, beds and bedding, so comfortable, so very well supplied with everything you could need or want. We fell in love with the beautiful grounds, with its trails and well-maintained lawn, and fire pit!! We always have a good time but adding two small babies to our family this year, we are so grateful for how wonderful this lovely, comfortable, HOME served us this year, we cannot wait to go back NEXT year. Did I mention, this was the MOST reasonably priced home we have ever rented????

Peaceful & Perfect

Everything about this home is comfortable and conducive to a relaxing time watching the lake and listening to the sounds of nature. The decor in the room truly embodies the nautical theme and really adds to the joy of the home. We were visiting family in the area and can't wait to return to stay in Charlie's Cottage.

Couples weekend

Charlie’s cottage was amazing. The house was so clean and comfortable. There were 6 of us and there was plenty of space for us. The cottage is very well stocked. If you are looking to shut off and relax this is the perfect place. The owners Susie and Steve very so quick to respond to question /suggestions. Would definitely rent here again.
