Mechanical problems
It's a cute property in a great location. Our main issue is that after we were out all day Saturday, we came home in the evening to discover there was no hot water. We tried the phone number in the welcome book and got no answer. then we noticed there was a different number in a flyer. That was answered, but apparently they couldn't get anyone to come out. My husband tried repeatedly to get the pilot light on the water heater back on to no avail. we weren't able to bathe for our last day in Charlevoix which did not make us happy. Also, the mattress in the master bedroom is as hard as a rock so I woke up with a sore back.

Pretty nice stay
We loved the comfy home feeling this place provided for few days of our spring break. The kitchen had everything necessary to cook and there was tons of space in the home, you didn’t feel like you were right on top of each other. Location wise we were super close to downtown so we could explore and fine some great places to eat. A negative things: when we arrive the heat in the house was turned off, so we had to turn it on and leave. It was too cold to stay there or cook dinner so we went out to eat. You would think the heat would at least be kept on since they have a protocol in the house rules. And the backyard is not private at all. You can see straight into everyone else’s yard, like 6-7 homes. Thankfully it was winter and no one wanted to be outside but it felt very invasive when taking the dogs out. Oh, and amenities are kinda scarce, like to blow dryer or cooking oil. Bring everything you need with you.

Loved our Stay
This property is so cute and comfortable. The location is ideal and close to a lot of things to do - even in the winter. The kitchen is well stocked and made preparing meals easy. We loved our stay and hope to come back.

Charlevoix weekend
The Vrbo was chosen for nearness to a family wedding at Castle Farms and this worked well. The cottage was super clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay there. The only minor downside was being awakened each morning by the barking of the neighbor’s dogs, which they let out as early as 6 am to run and bark!
