Lovely Loeb Lake House
The most wonderful cottage on a spectacular lake with a sandy beach and 5 minutes from Castle Farms....we couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate a family wedding. Loads of space to enjoy (we were inside more than we hoped as the MI weather was uncooperative), big screen tv's so boys could watch football and kids could watch a movie, bedrooms were large and the upstairs master was so much fun with a bunkbed and trundle for the cousins and everything was spic and span clean. Extra refrigerator was a huge help, the kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed. There were toys for the kids, a firepit where we roasted marshmallows and the the beach was a blast for the little ones. The views were beautiful....the weather prevented us from enjoying the deck but wow...if we ever get to come back the deck has so much seating and is really another highlight. We made lifetime memories at the lovely Loeb Lake house.

Great location and cottage!
We loved our week at this cottage. Unbeatable water access right on Lake Charlevoix. Also lots of space to host a family of 7. The master bedroom is the best room in the house. Tons of natural light and lake views for miles. Highly recommend this place!

Amazing and Memorable Stay at Loeb Lake House
I had a great time at Loeb Lake House. It was very close to all the amenities and great restaurants downtown. At the same time the house is on a beautiful secluded private road with only a few other houses for a nice serene retreat. I loved waking up to the sunrise over the lake. Lake views are amazing from the home. We got married at Castle Farms a few years ago. Charlevoix will always be a special place in my heart and will definitely be back to the Loeb Lake House.

Amazing place!
We stayed at Loeb Lake House for a weekend to attend a wedding at Castle Farms. There could not be a better location. This place was fantastic - it had everything we could have needed. The beds were very comfy and Ashley was attentive, quick to respond, and made us feel at home. The space is very charming and we did not want to leave.
