Clean throughout and a very comfortable (main) bed. As others have noted, it is very close to a highway with a fair amount of traffic of all types. This is a good thing if you are driving to nearby locations, not so good if you are walking around the neighborhood. Centrally located between Charlevoix, Boyne City and East Jordan, close to the ferry. While the washer and dryer are listed as an amenity, you need to ask for access.

The Ironton Stone Cottage was centrally located for all of the activities we had planned for our trip north. The bed was super comfy, and the kitchen had everything you would need. Our host responded immediately to questions. There is a television; however, it does not have local service. We were unable to stream our services, since we were from out of state, nor could we stream from our phone to the TV. Our only major complaint was that the lawn service arrived at 7:30 a.m. to mow and weed whip. We would stay at the cottage again.

The place was very nice, nicely appointed, attractive, and the interior shots matched the real appearance. Literally the only thing that stops it from getting a 5-star rating was that its location is right on a mildly busy 55 mph road and that is not in the description. If it were in the description, however, I probably would still choose it.

The cottage was clean and as pictured, but it was closer to the road than we expected. Fortunately, road noise while sleeping was minimal. A few more written helps (such as where to find the beach equipment or how to lock the door) would be good. The main bed was super comfy and the towels were fabulous but we like a more robust shower head and a small bathroom table on which to place items. Overall, the cottage was cute and well supplied and the host responded quickly to questions.

Perfect family getaway!

We had such a great time at the cottage! It was the perfect mix of relaxation and fun over winter break! Renita was so helpful with our questions beforehand and it was a super easy booking process. We loved that we were just 10 minutes from downtown for dining and ice cream! And less than 30 minutes from Boyne mountain resort where we enjoyed the Waterpark, the skybridge and snow tubing! The cottage was so clean and had everything we needed! Would love to come back in season to enjoy the summer activities and beach! We were also thankful we were able to bring our small dog with us on the trip! Great hosts, great home, great stay!

Exceeded Expectations

When staying in Northern Michigan, we are used to the "rustic" cabin experience. This cabin, however, felt like a wonderful resort. All amenities were thought of, the beds/pillows were SO comfortable. The location to get to other areas like Traverse City and Petoskey was perfect. I realized the day of arrival that I hadn't put our pet down as coming. Renita responded immediately and we were able to get it sorted with no delay in our plans. Truly, of all Vrbos I have stayed in, this one is definitely at the top for overall value and comfort
