Perfect Charlevoix Stay

October 2025

We had a wonderful time! We traveled in a group consisting of two middle aged adults, two seniors, one baby, and one dog. There was ample space for all of us! The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, and the showers were perfectly hot for everyone. The back deck was a wonderful place to end each day! One of my favorite features was the gas stove. Whenever the heat kicked on, we loved sitting by the stove to watch the flames 🙂 the location of the house was perfect for us! We were able to walk to the beach (5 minutes), walk downtown (15 minutes), and to the nature trails in the McSauba area (15 minutes) - at turtle speed. We will definitely be back!
