Another wonderful week!

This house has become our favorite place to stay in Charlevoix. The location can’t be better- steps to the beach and a quick walk into town. The front porch is our favorite spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Great communication from the hosts and all around a lovely stay. We already booked our return trip for next summer!

Girls Trip

We rented this cottage for an annual girls trip and it was perfect! Directly across the street from the beach and a short walk to town, restaurants and shopping. Very clean and tidy. Extremely well stocked - with everything from kitchen and bathroom essentials to beach chairs and towels. We especially loved the sun room front porch to relax with a cocktail and play games. The host was very quick to answer questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Fun w family in Charlevoix

This was our second year in a row at this cottage and we really enjoy how easily our grown kids (and grandkids) fit in the house when we are up together. Love the front porch and rear deck, and everyone enjoys having Lake Michigan just a short walk away. Host are great with communication and super easy check-in and check-out.

About the host

Hosted by Marty & Kerry Mullane

Host profile image
Spent years vacationing in northern Michigan as a child. We vacationed in this home in 2014 with our lab, Marley. When it went up for sale we partnered with a long time friend who lives in the area and snapped it up. This is a charming home on Park Ave surrounded by Earl Young 'mushroom' homes. We plan to keep this home for many years to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Located in the City of Charlevoix this charming early 1900’s cottage is located on the corner of Sherman and Park Avenue. Enjoy the views of Lake Michigan. Stroll 1 block to the library(a wonderful place offering concerts ), or the beach with playground. Take the dog for a walk through the pet friendly park directly across the street .In the evening enjoy movies and concerts in East Park on Round Lake just a a few minutes walk away.

What makes this property unique

We spend a great deal of time on the enclosed front porch. Perfect place to read a book, catch up with old friends while sharing a morning coffee or evening glass of wine! The large deck at the back of the house has a a grill and picnic table. You'll love all the hardwood trim and floors. The location can’t be beat!
