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!

Adorable lake house

We had a wonderful experience at this cozy lake house. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was impeccably clean. The check-in process was smooth and easy, which was a big plus. While there is no central air, the portable AC unit in the living room and fans in the bedrooms helped cool the space, though it was still a bit humid. A few rooms had a slight musty smell, but it wasn't a dealbreaker. The real bonus was the access to a fire pit, canoe, and kayaks—though, unfortunately, we couldn’t take advantage of them due to the weather and the short length of our stay. Some of the landscaping could be trimmed back so it’s easier to access the sidewalk. Overall, it was a pleasant stay in a peaceful location.
