ABOUT THE RENTAL
Enjoy your next vacation at Larkspur Escape, a quick 4 miles from downtown Charlevoix, and a short drive to many other Northern Michigan favorites! This spacious and well-equipped home is a perfect place for you to unwind and create memories. Located right on the shores of Adams Lake, this rental comes with two kayaks and life jackets so you can go explore the scenery of the lake and take in the peace and quiet.

You are welcomed into the home with an open floor plan – a spacious kitchen perfect for cooking in and seating for six at the dining table and four more at the kitchen island. For those who want to relax while the family chefs are cooking – sink into the comfy living room furniture just off the kitchen looking out over the lake through the panoramic sliding glass doors. Grab your mug in the morning to choose from three kinds of coffee or various teas at the coffee bar and fire up the waffle maker to start the day with Belgian waffles – compliments of the owners! Need spacious bedrooms? No lack of that here! The primary bedroom is located on the main level, complete with a soaking tub, rain shower, and double vanities. Taking the stairs to the upper level you will find the second king bedroom that wakes up to the best views of the lake, a third king bedroom just around the corner, and lastly, a perfect “cozy camping” room for the kids with tent-themed beds, bistro lights, 43” TV, bean bags, and game system (great for rainy days!). Need to work on your trip? While you should be enjoying your vacation, we know there are times you have to stay connected. This rental offers two different desk areas to catch up on work.

When it’s time to play games or relax, Larkspur Escape provides that too! Enjoy a round on the 4-person arcade game, duke it out on the foosball table, or bring the corn hole boards and spikeball outside for some fun in the sun. Roll into the evening by the portable firepit roasting marshmallows or sink into the hot tub to relax, exhale, and take in the fresh air and natural surroundings. It’s hard to leave this escape once you are here, but if you want to venture out there are plenty of day trips and quaint resort towns just a short trip away!

*This property allows two dogs, maximum. A non-refundable $150.00 cleaning fee will be charged per pet.

Excellent stay!
We loved our stay at this home! Very clean, well stocked, beautiful rental. Kitchen was very well equipped (we appreciate that everything was labeled). The view of the lake is awesome, and having all the activities (kayaks, firepit, hot tub) right on property was fantastic. Joel was friendly and responsive before and during our stay. We look forward to coming back one day and would recommend this home to our family and friends.

Friend Getaway
My friends and I decided to stay here after our originally stay had fell through. The minute we walked in the door, we were instantly surprised with two gifts from the homeowners for our stay and we all noted on how we'd be back. The house was very clean, accommodating to our needs and just what we needed. Perfect stay for families or friends.

Great stay
My family came up to Charlevoix over Memorial weekend for a wedding at Castle Farms. This house was just perfect for us (6 adults). It was the perfect size and very comfortable, had all the amenities (plus some) and was the perfect location (about 5-6 min. from Castle Farms and 10 min from downtown). Joel was very accommodating and very good with his communication! We would definitely stay here again!

Everything & More!
The house was everything we expected and more. Fully equipped with many extras we did not expect. The area is peaceful and private just what we wanted for our family getaway. My 14 and 11 year old grandsons loved all the games and the kayaks. We love to cook and the kitchen was great for all of us to gather. Joel, our host was always prompt to answer any questions and the little added touches he provided were greatly appreciated. We would love to visit again! M. Hunter

Relaxing getaway
My husband, myself and our four sons had a wonderful, relaxing vacation in Charlevoix . The property was clean and exceptionally organized. The owner was friendly and thorough, and easy to communicate with. Everything you might need to make your experience relaxing and enjoyable has been provided by the owner. We loved kayaking on Adams Lake. My most favorite thing about Alyssia cabin were times spent in the hanging chairs in the peace and quiet, listening to the birds sing and the wind softly blow the leaves in the beautiful Birch trees. I will remember it always.

Magical Getaway
My family stayed a week at this Lakeside Cabin and came away amazed. The house was updated and well stocked for entertainment for guests. We made some core family memories playing foosball, bean bags and playing Catan. I learned to kayak and my wife spent her time just enjoying the view of the lake. You have the feeling of near total privacy and seclusion will being only a 5 minute drive from downtown Charlevoix. While we were tempted to never leave the amazing house we did find Harbor View and Bay Harbor Michigan a very easy drive. I would recommend this for a family getaway or even a romantic honeymoon spot.

The place was absolutely beautiful. Right off the water, and not far town. I had a wonderful time. Joel had good communication and had a few suggestion as to things to do. Everything was just right.
