Very quick walk to the beach or you can drive it if you have a lot of gear. The parking lot was never full while we were there. Great house with lots of space and every kitchen thing you could ever possibly need to cook a meal. Welcome basket was a really nice touch. My daughters loved the bedrooms upstairs and my youngest loved the little pond. Tons of deer and squirrels in the yard, which was super interesting to our dog. We used the game table, had a bonfire, and were able to get the Michigan game on the TV. This is a very nice place to stay in Charlevoix!

This is our 2nd year at the Hideaway. It is an ideal place for families. Some of my group had to work remotely and the space (indoors and outdoors) allows everyone to do what they need to do without interfering with anyone else. It is well-stocked and well-located for beach and walks to town.

The house had all the amenities required for relaxing cooking and was 5 min walking distance from the public beach. We had a great stay !

Clean and private with short walk to beach access close to downtown

We enjoyed our stay at the hideaway. We enjoyed the location with 5 minute walk to beach access as well as easy walk to downtown Charlevoix. The hideaway was best of both worlds, quiet and relaxed up north feel with outdoor deck and pond features, but also close to downtown. My kids enjoyed the basketball hoop, yard games, 3-1 game table, as well as all the other kid friendly features like craft table and reading nook. House layout was great for our family. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you should need. We were surprised by a wonderful welcome basket to enjoy during our stay. We e joyed our time and would definitely stay here again.

Easy walk to beach and town. A family of deer stop by every day. Lots of toys and books for the kids. Overall great place for a family to stay.

This house was excellent. It had everything we needed for our 4th of July vacation. The outdoor area with the pond and fire pit was very relaxing.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time here! The decks could greatly benefit from replacing the decking. Walking barefoot on the current deck would likely result in splinters. The kitchen was well stocked, there were a few yard games in the garage, a 3-in-1 game table (pool, ping pong and air hockey) that got plenty of use while we were at the house. The yard is…large and the location is outstanding! It is a short walk (5 minutes if you walk slow like me) to the public access point for the beach, and every trip to the beach resulted in a great number of petoskey rocks, Charlevoix stones and sea glass. It is about a 5 minute drive to all of the stores and restaurants in Charlevoix, and about 20-25 minutes to Petoskey. There were a couple of doe’s and their 4 fawn that came to visit every day and were not easily spooked. The pond was our favorite feature of this home. It was so peaceful to sit out by the pond to start the day or at the end of the night while looking at stars, or, really, any time. The owners were fantastic! They checked in by text a couple of times during the week to make sure everything was going ok and they had a welcome basket filled with a number of local treats (I think Cherry Republic owes them a commission for all of the items we got there thanks to this). There are plenty of books available to borrow while you are there too. The only thing I think they could have made available is a few board games or puzzles to choose from for a rainy day so you may want to bring some of your own. All-in-all, I would stay here again, or recommend it to others.
