Wedding Weekend
The house was super convenient to the wedding venue. It was clean, well decorated and the host Joe was super easy to communicate with. The one negative would be having only one proper shower, but the good definitely outweighed any small issues.

This wonderful, historical home was immaculately clean, fun for our family of 10, with 3 small children, and a teenager. Between the game room and living room activities to food preparation in the well equipped kitchen for our army, we loved everything about this farm house. This home is supplied well as if we were home and never left. We have experienced hosts with many years of vacation

Wonderful Home and Host
Our party was a group of adults traveling to be in our friends' wedding party. The house was amazing. Very lovely and clean, not to mention stocked to heck. We didn’t want for anything while we were there. It was perfect for a group of twenty-something professionals to wind down after celebrating our friends' union. I would absolutely pick this place again if given the chance.

Everything was provided!
Wonderful stay. So well equipped from strollers and toys to pool table and music system. Kitchen was spacious and modern with everything we needed for several large family meals. The ‘old house’ charm and quirkiness added to the fun. The two bathrooms sufficed and the upstairs clawfoot tub with handheld was great for the littles. Another shower in addition to the one downstairs would help for the adults. Location is prime while being away from downtown noise at night. Everyone agreed we would enjoy another stay!

Fantastic Stay, Great Location
Had a great stay, plenty of space for a big family, lots of historic charm, and very kid friendly! My 4 year old nephew had a great time playing hide and seek in the house. I also appreciated the close proximity to shops and restaurants downtown, quite walkable if you can handle we the uphill climb on the way back.

This rental was the perfect location for us to stay in for my sons wedding at Castle Farms. Joe communicated very well with me. He even let us check in early. The only downfall we had was unfortunately our car alarm went off when we came back late at night and took us some time to get turned off. The neighbors called and complained to Joe. I felt really bad and thought that was uncalled for. They have a noise ordinance after 9 and they don’t mess around.

Wonderful stay
First and foremost, Joseph was the most responsive and welcoming host. It was a very hot week and he made sure each room was comfortable. Kitchen was very well stocked. The house was fine. Only one standing shower but our friends used the hand held in the bath and were happy. Appliances and grill were fine. Easy walk into town and lighthouse for sunset Would come back

House was nice, loved location and the character of the inside of the house. Hard to only have one shower and did not realize air was window air conditioner. Also, felt outside of house needs to be cleaned up. It was great to be able to make meals and grill outside!

Stayed 3 nights/4 days for a family wedding at the Castle. It’s literally 5 minutes away. You can walk to downtown Charlevoix. LOVE the rooms! For winter months felt the thermostat should higher due to cold drafts in some of the room on the main floor.

Came to Charlevoix with a group of couples from Florida for our friends wedding. The house was so cute, everything was clean and very comfortable. Joseph was a charm of a host! Responsive to any questions. The town was beautiful, we were walking distance to the adorable little Hallmark downtown. Our only complaint is we couldn't stay longer. 10/10 Would come back!

What a great place for a vacation. I rented this home for my extended family. We were in town for a wedding at Castle Farms. This home was absolutely perfect.

The owner was incredible! I had some questions when I arrived and he responded right away. The home is a restored 1890s farmhouse, very nicely done. I give this home a 5 star rating because of the owner. The home could use another bathroom and central air but not a huge deal.
