About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Short walk to Downtown and beaches. Winter skiing a short 30-minute drive away.

Charlevoix is known as "Charlevoix the Beautiful" for good reason. Your getaway is less than a mile walk to the downtown area with unique shopping and dining, and Lake Michigan public beach with playground, food takeout and picnic area in the shadow of the iconic lighthouse. Bridge Street, at the heart of downtown Charlevoix, is home to many shops and restaurants, from fast food to fine dining.

There is a short walk from the home to Lake Michigan public access to the quieter Northside Lake Michigan beaches, perfect for a swim, sun, or long walk to North Point looking for sea glass and Petoskey stones along the way. North Point Nature Preserve, featuring hiking trails, disk golf, and scenic access to Lake Michigan is a short walk away.

It is also a short walk to Lake Charlevoix public beach by the historic rail Depot. If you visit in the winter, Charlevoix is less than 30 miles to two ski resorts, as well as a local small ski hill. Charlevoix Cottage North is less than 10 minutes to the Castle, a beautiful wedding venue and tour opportunity.

The cozy downstairs of your home away from home features a living room, dining room which can accommodate 8, and a fully equipped kitchen. Attached to the kitchen is a "mudroom" leading to the large, fully fenced backyard including a patio with a table and chairs and a barbeque grill. The first floor features a bedroom (Queen ) and an ensuite full bath. Upstairs features a twin bed room and queen bedroom joined by a full bath. We have tried to include anything you might need to stay and feel at home.

The full basement is where you will find the washer and dryer.

The backyard is fully fenced for your kids and /or pets. The patio has a umbrella table and chairs and a barbeque grill. There is a noise ordinance in Charlevoix after 11pm. The residential neighborhood where the home is located is quiet.

Great little cottage!

Overall the cottage was just what we needed for our stay in Charlevoix. It was very clean and well furnished. The property owner was very easy to communicate with and helped us with our stay. The location is perfect.....an easy five minute walk to a beautiful beach and a 15 minute walk to town. We had a great vacation!

The property had a great location: walk to beach, walk to sunset, walk to downtown Charlevoix. The house was clean and very well provisioned. We especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and the grill and fire pit in the backyard. The neighborhood is tranquil. Our host even made an evening house call to solve a minor cable TV issue. This is a lovely house in a wonderful location, rent with confidence.
