Peaceful retreat
We found the lake house to be a much needed retreat! Privacy and a quiet area to enjoy the beach. The beds are extremely comfortable and the linens and towels are top of the line! Bill was readily accessible for questions we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay , beautiful place in a beautiful area!

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.

Great view
We love the quiet location of the house and the walkabilty to town.The kitchen is well stocked,the towels are nice and the owner is great at communication. We did notice dog hairs on the couch and pillows giving it an unclean feel. There was also poop in the backyard. The linens weren’t the greatest but the beds were pretty comfy. I stayed in the second room with yellow striped comforter and it seemed to have a dog odor. I realize it’s hard to have rules that are broken by selfish people- ruins it for those of us who bring our dog who's not allowed on the furniture. There may be a critter in ceiling of bathroom with the tub. Noises were heard at night. The tv was nice as well as the fireplace. We’ve stayed here before but since then it seems to need some refreshing. Also, the brown chair is pretty useless….do not know who would want to sit in it. I hope this is helpful. Overall, nice place.
