Wedding Couple Getaway

This cabin was super cute and the perfect spot for us newlyweds to unwind after our wedding at Castle Farms. Lilly was an amazing host and worked with me to get an early checkin so that me and my groomsman could get ready for the big day.

Delightful and Relaxing

The owner was friendly, quick to respond, and very sweet to talk to. My entire family enjoyed their stay, and the kids loved the swings! My mom who is 80 , loved the peace and quiet, yet it wasn’t too far from town. It was an excellent place to stay and very clean!

Perfect for us!

The Shed was a great place for our family to stay. It was clean and very well-stocked. The location was very quaint and private. We loved to hang out around the house after an outing to the beach to downtown. Our family especially loved the porch- a good place to hang out to read and unwind. We had good interactions with the owners and felt very taken care of. We definitely recommend The Shed!

We were attending a wedding at the Castle and this adorable, cozy cabin was super close. What we didn't expect was how absolutely immaculate, comfortable, well stocked and beautifully decorated this place is! It may be the cleanest, newest feeling VRBO we have ever stayed in!

This tiny home was very nice to stay in with my 4 year old. There were tons of kids movies, little toys, and the loft was super fun for her to sleep in. If we come to this area again, we’ll definitely stay here. The owners were also very accessible and helpful.

Awesome house!

We stayed in The Shed for 2 nights and it was fantastic! My fiancé and I got married in Charlevoix and it was a perfect 2 night getaway for us for the remainder of our weekend. The house was clean, appliances were brand new, and locationally you are right down the road from Castle Farms, plus an easy drive into downtown Charlevoix. Lilly (the host) was extremely responsive and wonderful to work with. If the opportunity presents itself, we would 100% stay here again!

Easily 5 stars

We loved our stay. The house is very clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower is extra large with plenty of hot water. The front yard is large and very pretty with numerous beautiful flowers. We spent a lot of time in Boyne, and it was easy to drive to via road and even quicker by ferry. The host provided a much appreciated welcome gift as well. Thank you for providing us a nice place to get away to.

About the host

Hosted by Lilly

Host profile image
Our Cabin - “The Shed" sits on property that has been in our family for over 100 years - we are third generation owners. The cabin was finished in 2022 and opened for guests in 2023. Our goal is to maintain the woods and wildlife habitat surrounding "The Shed", providing a peaceful setting for our family and our guests.

Why they chose this property

Not a condo! You don’t have to share this space with anyone….Private owner property. Quiet area where in the morning you hear the birds singing as the sun rises. The evenings end with a bonfire in the backyard, a smore or glass of wine if you prefer. The beach (s) are five minutes away. If you are looking for a meal downtown, also five minutes. We are located close enough to the UP for a day trip to see the Magnificent Mighty Mac Bridge or spend time at Mackinaw Island.

What makes this property unique

Owners are interested in providing a clean and quiet place to escape from a busy schedule in a peaceful setting.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
