We were looking for a cozy cottage on a lake in a secluded area and this property was just what we wanted. The view was lovely, the surroundings were peaceful, the house was clean and had all the necessary amenities available for our use. Kathy was a great host and responded quickly when we had questions. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Bang for your buck kind of stay

Check in was easy and communication with Kathy was clear—she told us we could stay past the checkout time, which made for a lovely last morning on our trip. The house was nestled in trees and looks out onto the lake; the views were great! The house itself was perfectly functional and we especially appreciated the coffee, thought we’d wished the listing specified that there’s no central AC (just one window unit in the living room). We visited in August and it took us 2 days to cool down the house using the unit and fans to get it comfortable for sleeping. Everything was clean, but it did smell like someone used to smoke in this house. All told though, we felt like we got a great value for our money and loved the lake front setting.

Family reunion

Cottage is a short drive into Charlevoix. The drive was a little longer with it being venetian festival and all the traffic. That being said, it was great to be out a little ways and on lovely lake susan. Beds were comfortable, coffee, waters and toiletries were all provided which was super nice. We enjoyed our stay!
