About the host

Hosted by Jessica & Luke LaBlance

Host profile image
We are a local family and live in Charlevoix. We love our community and take pride in showing off our town! I am a local teacher and outdoor enthusiast. As long time residents of the area, we know all that Northern Michigan has to offer and would love to share our local knowledge with you!

Why they chose this property

We have owned this property for 18 years and have lived here for many years ourselves!...the neighborhood is quiet, the yard is spacious, the house is super cozy and clean...and the location allows guests to reach all that Charlevoix has to offer through just a walk or short bike ride away. The spacious front yard and quiet neighborhood make it a great place for families to play games or relax from the front porch or swing. Mornings and evenings on the front porch are a great way to spend time relaxing with a drink or good book....and the back patio dining/fireside area make for great entertaining in a more private setting.
Inside the cottage you'll find original local artwork, quality bedding/furnishings, and additional amenities to assist with whatever needs arise. The open kitchen and living area create a fantastic space for a larger group to hang out, making this modest sized home seem much bigger.
When it comes to a stay at McLeod cottage, we encourage our guests to contact us anytime with needs for trip planning, recreational activities, or questions regarding travel or the local area! We'd love you to experience our town and know that you'll fall in love with it.

What makes this property unique

We love giving our guests tips and recommendations for activities, stops, local hotspots, and unique experiences nearby...even some of our best local secrets! :)
Feel free to check in with us after booking and we can answer questions, share info, and assist with any needs.
