It's in a perfect location. The view from the place is spectacular. Close to everything we wanted to do. The only thing that we thought it needed were wash cloths for the bathrooms and it should state clearer that the firepit is across the road. We will be saving this vrbo for the next trip we take in that area and recommending it to others.

Great amenities. Beds were very comfortable. Love the lake view. Had to clean and sweep off the porch. Dryer wasn’t working efficiently. I do give it a 5* rating.

Great view!!
We came for a wedding at Castle Farms and wish we had more time to enjoy this property and view! So close to town, comfortable beds, great big couch for relaxing. It was too chilly to enjoy the patio, but the view of the Lake was unbelievable!! Views in 2 of the bedrooms also- King and Queen rooms with view. Would love to come back!

Charming cottage with gorgeous view of Lake Michigan!
The bluewater cottage, nestled in among Earl Young’s famous mushroom houses offers a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan! It was the perfect location for our family Easter celebration! The home is clean and the kitchen well-stocked. The living room is welcoming with its stone fireplace, large seating area and a very comfortable leather chair. Its convenient location provides easy access to the beach and downtown Charlevoix. The host was very responsive and available to answer any questions. We highly recommend this charming vacation home.
