Great house and location

We had a great time on the 4th of july. The house is fabulous and in a great location. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac it was quiet and we loved sitting outback in the morning with a cup of coffee and watching the dog explore. Highly recommended this property

Perfect house in quiet neighborhood

We came to stay here because my sister was getting married at my mom's farm south of Charlevoix. The location was amazing. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The house was lovely, so clean, a wonderful backyard, and so well stocked with anything you could possibly need. The only thing that could have made it better was a full length mirror as we were getting ready for the wedding, but that is trivial. I loved this house and will probably try to rent it again the next time we are up to visit the family. Just a truly wonderful stay.

Excellent rental close to lake

The house was clean and well organized. The hosts were great! They left us a wine bottle and some chocolate cherries as a welcome gift. Our kids loved having a large backyard to play and the cul de sac to ride their bikes around.
