This was such a great spot, and the house had everything we needed to just enjoy ourselves no thinking required! It's a great quiet setting on the lake and you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, but you're just minutes from everywhere you want to go! We absolutely loved it, and we will be back for another stay, hopefully next year!
Super cozy cottage , breathtaking view of the lake!! Enjoyed the patio very much and birdfeeder : never seen so many different types of birds. House itself was very very clean and cozy . Owners thought of literally everything their guests might need , We loved fishing on the lake and the map was super helpful.
It was such a nice location. We were able to just enjoy ourselves. Communication was wonderful and it was so awesome to wake up to beautiful birds. My little one is 2 months and smiled so much hearing the birds.
Lovely cottage style home that has had much thought put into it. Very clean and well appointed and many updates. The pond view is very serene and the whole place forces you to relax! Enjoyed kayaking and hanging out on deck and campfire very much! Loved it! Will be back!
We stayed for a week in the summer. This property had everything that we wanted in a vacation house: lakeside w nice view, grill, boats, TV, wifi. It was only two of us + dogs so there was more than enough space for us.
Getting in the house was easy. The property manager was also very friendly and helpful when we needed assistance.
The property is right on the lake as the pictures indicated and is definitely the best feature of the house. The lake is peaceful and quiet. We had a great time boating around it with our dogs.
The only thing I noticed that could be improved is that we encountered a few spiders in the house. There are some spots on the lower level in the corners that could have been cleaned a little better. Overall though it was a very minor issue.
We would happily stay here again!
Well appointed and clean home with an awesome view of the lake. Great location, just 10 minutes from town but feels like you're a 1000 miles away. Great Hosts!
June 2023. Small inland lake, sparsely developed. Very quiet and restful.

The best part about this was being on a small lake and having a canoe and kayaks to use free of charge. The house is small. It’s pretty convenient to get to. Wasn’t quite as clean as I would have hoped ( just things like windowsills) but they had everything you need. In addition to two bedrooms upstairs there are two futon couches downstairs. Plus a laundry room and 1/2 bathroom downstairs in addition to a full bathroom upstairs.
Love this place stayed here now several times and it is always is the best !Good for whole family and my dog . House is always clean , anywhere you need to go is less then 10 mins away , it’s safe , it’s cozy . They have a private lake for fishing , have boats to rent . Have a fire pit right by the lake which I love ! Sunrises and sunsets are unbelievable! They have anything you might need in a pinch right at the house .beds and bedding are so comfortable, always slept like a baby ! Air , shower works really well . I love staying there and don’t want to leave that place everytime we stay . Owners are really amazing people , very kind and accommodating. It’s a most definite recommend and rebook on my part . Absolutely perfect . Thank you for allowing us to stay at your cottage we will be back .
Easy 10 min drive from Charlevoix. Quiet, peaceful backyard & deck overlooking East End Lake. Enjoyed the firepit & fluffy towels. Kitchen was well-stocked. 2 Beds in 2 bdrms upstairs were very comfortable. Only negatives were Paddle boat was broken, gaming system not set-up in bsmt, & swimming is not allowed in lake. Not sure why? Water too deep, bottom too mucky, leeches? We took the kids to a great beach in Charlevoix though, after the mushroom house tour (worth the $) & had a great day exploring the town & looking for Petoskey stones. Beautiful library & art gallery. Wanted to use the several kayaks & nice new life jackets, but it stormed hard & had to spend the 2nd night inside. Heard a loon early in the morning. Dog friendly. Nice yard, but hilly in back, so our elderly person with a balance issue couldn't access the backyard due to the terrain. He enjoyed the good TV reception! Many steep stairs to bsmt, but lots of room, laundry, & half bath downstairs with a door to lower patio. Quiet neighbors on either side & trees give lots of privacy. Loved the bird feeders on the top deck!
