This was a beautiful cottage in a great location. Even though our weather was unseasonably cold and rainy, there was a lot to do including hiking, shopping and of course eating out. I daydreamed about whether I could live there forever.However, before you get your heart set, check out the fees. They are clearly stated, but for a 3 day stay, they are excessive. VRBO would not let me post details about the fees but we paid the equivalent of about 2 extra days based on the advertised daily rate. Listing at a higher daily rate with lower fees would be more transparent and I probably would have still paid it because it really is a great cottage. Possibly the new VRBO policies will help with this.

The cottage was lovely and had great location to downtown Charlevoix. My one complaint is that we noticed that there were a lot of bugs in the house which was likely from cobwebs not being cleaned well otherwise the place we clean. I'd make sure next time that there was a deeper cleaner.

This was our first home rental stay. My first impression was not good as we struggled with the lock on the front door. We worked it every way we could but could not get the sequencing of the 3 step process. We would have appreciated instructions when we received the code. Once in, everything was as expected. Bedding was great, kitchen fully stocked and great streaming on tv. I have already sent the house info to other family members who were in town for a wedding.hou was exactly as expected
