We arrived at Charlie’s on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in early August. The weather was warm but felt perfect with the light breeze coming off the water. Upon arriving we were immediately greeted by the amazing lake views from our impeccably clean adorable cabin just steps off of the lake. It was just three of us for the week but you could easily sleep 9+ in the quaint wood cabin. With a full kitchen as well as a fire pit and two grills we were set for meals if we wanted to cook. However we found it hard to cook when just steps away was a great bar and grill with daily specials you just couldn’t pass up. The food was amazing and the staff were so friendly and welcoming it made us feel like we belonged even though we were hours from home. We spent our days out on the lake fishing and had no problem reeling in the perch that lake Metonga has an abundance of. At night we enjoyed a cool drink lakeside by the fire taking in the breathtaking sunsets. I highly recommend Charlie’s and can’t wait to go back...

Charlie, Sara, Molly and Mike have absolutely knocked it out of the park with their business model....and have created an establishment that you genuinely look forward to visiting. I wish I could give...
