The cottage was 5 minutes from Charlevoix downtown and about 20 minutes from Petoskey. Would stay again! ##### SanDee M. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacy P. Oct 14, 2018 #### Apple Fest Weekend The property was in a fabulous location on the water. The little touches around the home made it so cozy every night. I loved all the lanterns on timer lights. Suzy was extremely easy to work with. We love Charlevoix anyway..but this is by far the best place we’ve stayed! ##### Stacy P. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carmen O.

We were cozy and warm in this very clean, comfortable and nicely furnished home. Everything was in tip top shape when we arrived and we did not want for anything during our stay. The arrival process was super simple and the owners were very easy to contact and responsive. We would love to return again in the summer or fall! ##### Carmen O.

Suzy was very responsive. She has thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable and fun. The house is in a great location, very clean, air conditioned and has all of the little things that you would hope to have for a relaxing lake house stay, including comfortable beds, hammock, fire pit, relaxing outdoor chairs, nice dock, etc. I highly recommend it! ##### Brian K.

We spent a fantastic week at Suzy’s property! WOW ! It is such a beautiful and comfortable home in a fantastic quiet location right on the lake. It was our first time in Charlevoix and we enjoyed staying at the house and also exploring some of the local sites . It is a quick drive to town. Suzy was quick to respond to any of our questions. We got in super late on our first night. Suzy had the lights on for us and a sweet welcome kit! We would love to return ! ##### Christina T.

Suzy is the perfect host. The attention to detail is unbelievable. We felt we were staying in a 4star bed and breakfast. We would highly recommend Knot Just A Cottage for anyone planning a romantic lakefront setting. We look forward to returning in the future.

We were there for our wedding at Castle Farms, which was only about 10 minutes away. It was a great space for my bridesmaids and I to get ready before the wedding, and then a peaceful place for my husband and I to relax after all the festivities. The attention to detail was very impressive, Suzy really thinks of everything! ##### Jennifer W.

Oct 18, 2017 #### Knot Just a Cottage Amazing, beautiful home over looking the lake. Six girlfriends get together every two years , two of our group had never been to Michigan. We stepped into this home and knew our stay would be perfect. The decorating, the amenities, the comfort of the home, the wonderful outside spaces, the fire pit....we took advantage of all these pleasures during our stay. Suzy was awesome to work with and offered many helpful suggestions about eateries and sights to enjoy. Hope to return to this delightful place in the future. ##### suzette r.

The home is not just comfortable but it has all you need for an amazing family or friends vacation. We wanted a calm week on the lake so we knew we would spend a lot of time at the property. This home is furnished with grace and care, it is not a cottage that someone just used their old furniture! Wonderful amenities were provided, kayaks, paddle boards, basketballs, fire pits(2) wood and gas, and horseshoes. It is very close to Charlevoix, Boyne City, Petoskey,and many other cities and attractions. Highly recommend. Suzy was a pleasure to work with and responded quickly to any questions we had. ##### Linda J.

We had a wonderful time at Knot Just Our Cottage. Suzy was a wonderful host and went out of her way to answer our questions and help us prepare for our stay. The house was perfect for our family of four. My husband and I and our boys (4 and 8) enjoyed the charming, comfortable home, and especially the gorgeous views of the lake which were visible from the master bedroom, living room and outdoor spaces. The house is in a charming and relaxing neighborhood, but also a short distance from downtown Charlevoix and the neighboring towns of Petosky and Harbor Springs. We found much to do in the area (boating, shopping, going to beaches, visiting a local farm) but also enjoyed just relaxing with our feet up on the gorgeous lakefront deck. We hope to return and have already recommended the property to others. ##### Karen M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brooke O. Aug 5, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect place to socially distance We needed to escape the city and Knot Just a Cottage was the perfect solution. Suzy has done an incredible job of utilizing the indoor and outdoor space in a thoughtful way. We were there for two weeks and rarely left the property, but between the various decks, dock, fire pit, horseshoe court, basketball hoop, hammock, etc., we felt thoroughly entertained the entire time. The included paddleboards and kayaks were great, too! The cottage is located close to town (5 minute drive), but feels very quiet and remote. The community beach is a 2 minute walk from the house and was great for swimming, playing in the sand and skipping stones. Suzy was excellent to work with. She checked in via text regularly and responded promptly to the various questions I had for her. We would happily return to Knot Just a Cottage in the future! ##### Brooke O. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frances B., North Bonneville, WA Sep 30, 2018 #### Relax in luxury on Lake Charlevoix This house had amazing patio furniture, and we really enjoyed the Adirondack chairs while sitting in front of a bonfire with a great view of the lake. I still can't believe they provided firewood for their guests! What a treat. The kitchen was stocked with every pot, pan, dish, glass, etc. that you could ever need. There were only 2 things "missing": a regular coffee maker (they have a Keurig, which worked great, but we would've preferred a regular coffee maker since we'd come with our own coffee because we're kinda coffee snobs) and a tea kettle. The grill was great too! Both bedrooms were spacious, and the beds are very comfortable. The master upstairs has a great view, and I enjoyed my morning coffee up on the deck off the master BR while we stayed there. I also appreciated having a screen door so that we could keep the master BR door to that deck open and hear the lake. The house is decorated wonderfully, and all of the furniture is very comfortable. It's perfect for 2 couples. I wish we could have stayed longer! ##### Frances B.
