Ideal Location, Incredible Host, Charming House

We loved staying at this home. The location can't be beat - quiet neighborhood, one block from downtown and grocery store, less than one mile from the lighthouse and minutes drive from several beaches. The house is charming with much original character and really nicely decorated. The host is the most responsive I have experienced in all my years staying in Charlevoix. The house has many helpful "extras" like a hand-held vacuum, air mattress, yard games and pantry items. A wonderful week in Charlevoix with the most charming home.

Continues to be a fantastic stay!

This is our second stay of the summer at this property and it was just as delightful as the first time. Super clean and the most convenient location. Easily walkable into town, with a grocery store within walking distance, and beaches a short drive away (less than 5 minutes). The owners have been super thoughtful in providing amenities that make it feel like home and that are also super convenient -- like a pack-n-play on site. Can't say enough nice things about this rental property!

Great Host, Location, and Amenities

Joe our host was responsive from the booking process through the end of our stay. Everything in the home is welcoming. Our party of 5 was comfortable. The location was wonderful. Just a short walk to town, beach, and many great restaurants. Everyone in town was very friendly and kind. 2 1/2 baths!! Master bath and a second 1/2 bathroom downstairs as well as one upstairs allowed all of us to get ready for a wedding effortlessly. Great water pressure and well stocked home with all the items you might need.

Easy distance to everything!

Everything was clean and well stocked. Joe is obviously used to working with families. Our weekend was clear and warm, so we were outside a lot. Downtown is literally within walking distance, great beaches for adult rock hunters and kids wanting to play in the sand. The absolute best, even though we didn't need it, there's pancake mix, oatmeal, Mac and cheese, all onsite, just in case there's a mealtime meltdown. Genius!

Perfect location and ambience

This location cannot be beat!! Especially fun atmosphere and easy access during Venetian festival so we did not have to deal with any traffic during carnival days. So convenient to step out across the street for breakfast at the diner or any last minute groceries. Hosts are very hospitable and friendly, stocking the kitchen with wine, pasta and oatmeal; and the bathrooms had plenty of towels and toilet paper to last the entire stay. The home is clean, and fun family photos add to the cozy vibe. Neighbors were very kind and friendly to us as well. Classic Charlevoix, felt like being transported back to simpler and easier times in the best way possible. We absolutely loved our stay and just wish we could have stayed longer!

Great time at the Hurlbut house.

Enjoyed a wonderful long weekend at this house. Very clean with an exceptional location. A very short walk to downtown Charlevoix and minutes from the beaches. Joe has thought of everything! This house would be equally perfect for a couple wanting to just "Get-Away" or a family interested in seeing and doing it all. The house has lots of space, ample parking, a yard for kids to play in and a patio for adults to gather. As grandparents who truly enjoyed our "Quiet" at the Hurlbut house we can hardly wait to go again and take our family for and "Action Packed" adventure. Can't say enough great things about this gem of a home and Joe the host!

darling cottage

This was a great house for our family trip to Charlevoix. The house was the perfect size our family of 6. I was a little nervous that the location might be too close to downtown and might feel too busy, but it was perfect! It was an easy walk to downtown with the kids to look at the boats, go to the beach, or look at the lighthouse. The house was well maintained considering the age and well appointed. They win the the award for best cookware in a rental that we have been to. They also had a number of games for our family to play and a backyard for the kids to run around. The house is old, but the bathrooms are updated. It has a washer and dryer which is a big plus when going to the beach with kids. The floors are a little uneven to walk on and the stairs to get to the upstairs are narrow and steep. I didn't find it was an issue for our family. We enjoyed our stay here!

Love Charlevoix!

This house is quite darling and perfect for up to 9 people (6 are shared beds). We just came up this past weekend with our family and set of grandparents. The house is always well stocked with extra food, nice pots/pans, shampoo/conditioner, plenty of towels, and in a prime location to downtown Charlevoix. The host was easy to work with and this is our second time renting this home. It has easy access to great Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix beaches. The only downside I can think of is the stairs to get upstairs are quite steep and narrow so it can be hard to get up them. My parents are in their late 60's and they stayed on the main floor for that reason. Our family had no problem with it so it wasn't a deal breaker for us. There also 2 1/2 bathrooms which is a bonus for a house of this age. Another plus is the next door neighbor is so nice, I wish he was our neighbor all the time!

Dirty outside and in

We rented this house 9 years ago and enjoyed our stay. Upon arrival this year we shocked to see how it had changed. The door mat on the sidewalk leading up to the front door was a trip and fall hazard, decaying. The deck was covered in dirt, with weeds growing up thru the cracks, and there were tons of spiderwebs on the deck railing which I spend time cleaning. This was my vacation and I should not have had to clearn. The windowsils in the kitchen were filled with dust and dirt, which I also cleaned. All of the windows were dirty, and in the master bedroom one was nailed shut. Fresh air and clean open windows shoud be an option in Northern Michigan in the summer. When I mentioned the issues to the owner his response was not acceptable... he said "oh we provide nice soap and pasta" LOL,, I did not rent this house for his opinion on what I might like for soap, or to eat. This owner is in this business for a money grab. I would suggest others to look elsewhere for a rental.
