Art in the Castle

This was exactly what we expected, even more actually. So comfortable, beautifully furnished, well stocked and thoughtfully staged and supplied. Everything we needed was right there and available. While this was a working trip for us, we feel like we took a bit of vacation as well in this wonderful home. We will definitely stay here again should the opportunity arise!

Great house in a great town

This house was perfect for our stay in Charlevoix. The location can’t be beat - short walk to downtown and to the beach - and it was so nice to leave the cars parked and walk everywhere. I loved the house! It had everything we needed from a well-stocked kitchen to very comfortable beds. The layout of the house was great for our family - plenty of space to chill on a comfy couch or daybed for a little rest time😉 Thank you to Shawn for being the perfect host - we will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Charlevoix

Charlevoix is a beautiful town. We fell in love with Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix. And, this home was perfect for our stay. The location is wonderful- walk a couple minutes one way to the beach, and a few in the other direction to town. We had plenty of room, but the house still felt cozy. Shawn was a wonderful host- communication was easy. Not sure when we will return to Michigan, but we hope we can stay in one of his properties next time.

Clean house, No Yard, strict behavior requirements.

We enjoyed the house and the location. Nice decore. Close to town and the beach. We took good care and were not there much but when we were there we had children and young special need adults that like to play outside. This house was not good for that as there is no yard and houses are close together. As a fellow Vrbo owner, I made sure that the place was clean swept and even mopped before we left. We found out after checking out that the neighbors were unhappy with us. The houses are way too close together if you have kids who like to run and play. The owners threatened to take our damage deposit even though we didn’t damage anything. I was offended by the owners emotionally charged attack on me when we left the house in good condition.

This property is an older home close to beach and town. If you're looking for a quaint, quiet place to unplug this would be a great place. However, if you're traveling with family and children you may want to rethink it. The electricity is sketchy at best. All the outlets upstairs will not hold a plug in place (attempting to dry my hair the plug kept falling out of the outlet). The only usable plugs were in the kitchen. Most of the lamps are nonworking, might just need new light bulbs.Living room furniture is quite uncomfortable.We had an issue with the new build next door as they crimped the water line our last day. Most of that day we only had a trickle of water. The city water department worked into the late evening and had it repaired by nightfall.We really enjoyed our first trip to Charlevoix and will most likely return next year.

Girls’ Weekend Getaway

This property was very clean and well appointed. We enjoyed the large living room that was very relaxing, especially with the gas fireplace. We did minimal cooking, but it was nice to have plenty of cookware and dishes. The sheer window coverings made for less privacy and were not dark enough for sleeping with the streetlight shining in and once it was daylight. Otherwise, it is a nice home.

Location was excellent as expected for the price. The house was in good condition but there are a couple minor downsides for consideration. There is no HVAC upstairs which can make for uncomfortable sleeping. Also right now there’s heavy construction going on next door which causes a lot of noise and many people/trucks coming and going throughout the day.

Great place to stay for our visit

Very nice, clean and comfortable place. Check in went well and the house was great. The only issue we had was that the breaker for the bathroom lights tripped a couple of times. Not sure what we had plugged in to trip it but it really was no big deal. Just reset it and all was good.

Wonderful family vacation

We’ve been coming to Charlevoix since childhood to visit family. We now bring our littles to experience the joy of the beaches, downtown, food, and enjoy time with our extended family. We’ve stayed in a handful or more rental homes, but this was the best. The location, set up of the home, and host communication made our stay truly wonderful. The attention to details for all ages is spot on. Thank you for the beautiful memories 💕

Always a great visit

This is our third time to Charlevoix and second summer in a row staying at this house. The location can’t be beat, as it is close to both downtown and the beach. Shawn does a great job maintaining the house and is always super responsive with questions and extremely accommodating for my family. We can’t wait to come back again.

Great location, very clean!

We were so pleased with the location of the property. It was short walk, about 5 minutes, to town and to the beach. Our kids loved the library and the library park across the street. The house was very clean.
