About this property

Lake Michigan Love! Sunsets and splashes

Scenic, wooded property on Lake Michigan with access to the water and secluded feel. The last house on a cul de sac gives you a private feel. Midway between Petoskey and Charlevoix for easy access to all of Northern MI's best. Short drive to Boyne City, golf courses and ski areas. Or just spend the day on the lake, kayaking, spotting bald eagles, and more! Amazing sunsets will cap off your perfect lake day.

In winter, we are 30 minutes from Boyne Highlands, Nubs Nob, and Boyne Mountain. Cozy apres ski feel with the fireplace on and snow falling outside!

A great family get-a-way with just about everything you can imagine you would need while staying. From beach chairs to kayaks, outdoor dining to comfy beds, entertainment like games, books, tv/streaming, stereo. Communication about directions and check in made it easy to find and access the house. While the kitchen was stocked with all the necessities for cooking and cleaning I would love to see it when it is updated to reflect the beauty of the rest of the house. Having said that I would highly recommend this vacation home for large families and groups. A beautiful setting at the end of a cul de sak surrounded by woods and of course the gorgeous view of the lake.

Lovely views

Property had lovely views but had no idea about the midge flies. Wouldn’t recommend booking this time of year. Location was nice in between Petoskey and Charlevoix, owner was very quick to respond and had great communication. Unfortunately the home wasn’t as clean as you would anticipate when booking, but vacuum and cleaning supplies were easily accessible.

A little bit rustic, A little bit refined, and a whole lot of beautiful.

Our family really enjoyed our stay. The location is quiet and serene, the house is very accommodating. It has the exact feel that an up north rental should. Owners were so easy to work with, and check in/out was simple.

Great location on the lake

Beautiful lake property situated between Petoskey and Charlevoix. We enjoyed the access to the trail for walking and riding bikes…the house was very comfortable and clean. The outdoor space was pure Michigan…the deck, fire pit and the beautiful shoreline…thank you for a great weekend stay!

A gem of a house

Lovely house in a GREAT location. Rooms are spacious, lots of amenities. We loved the fire pit and experienced the best sunset I’ve ever seen across the bay. We found handfuls of Petoskey stones. Close to both Charlevoix and Petoskey, and close to lots of great golf. Hope to be back next year!

Heavenly location

This large house, located on a rocky beach at the end of a cul de sac, is an ideal getaway for those craving Northern Michigan life. The place is well-equipped and has a warm feel. Grab a beverage, relax into an Adirondack chair, and enjoy the campfire!

Best Vacation Ever

This home exceeded our expectations and then some. The location is perfect, we enjoyed the beach, the kayaks, the bicycles, the amazing sunsets, our evenings around the fire pit. The home was so spacious and well appointed. I am so grateful to Bob and his family for opening their beautiful home to our family.

Girls Weekend

We had an amazing time for our 10th annual girls weekend!! The location was perfect and having basically our own private beach was a huge bonus. We didn’t leave the property besides a couple of runs to the store, but had we chosen to do any day trips into Petosky or Charlevoix this location is perfect and just minutes from either city!

Beautiful location…but issues with house and property.

The location and grounds are great…quiet, wooded with water views through the trees. Has a beach but rocky and sloped to the water’s edge so need to be sure-footed! Plenty of seating outside…chairs, two dining sets. Nice to have a fire pit!The house could have been cleaner…outside had not been cleaned (very dirty) but contacted the local person listed and he promptly came out and cleaned the decks and furniture (did a good job)! Inside the house, laundry room, refrigerator not clean. Sprayer on kitchen sink is broken, the dining room slider does not lock. Broken towel bar upstairs and downstairs toilet not adhered to base. The furniture in the living room is difficult to use… hard to stand from sitting position as couch and chairs are low and worn to soft. Dining room chair arm is broken. No place to hang clothes upstairs. This is a nice home in a great location with a small private beach. It just needs attention.

Wedding Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend at the house! We were with three couples and there was plenty of room for all of us. There were kayaks and bikes to use and plenty of room to play games and enjoy time together. We also appreciated the firewood so that we could enjoy a campfire. The location was wonderful on the lake. It's close to Petoskey and Charlevoix so a lot to see and do. We certainly enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful Gathering

Amazing and comfortable place to reconnect with old friends we hadn't seen in many years. It provided the perfect quiet place at "the end of the road" situated in the cool woods yet on the shore to watch sunsets, stars at night and just listen to the waves together. The home provided wonderful places to sit for meals and around a camp fire for smores. An older property but adequately maintained, lots of kitchen gear and comfortable beds for restful sleep. Great memories made here.

Why they chose this property

Our parents were teachers and coaches in Northern Michigan. They met at Boyne Mountain, while both were living in the Detroit area, and eventually moved north. After retiring, they realized their dream of living on the lake by building this house.
While my sisters and I all had lives that took us away from the area, our families love coming back whenever we can, and our kids have fallen in love with the region.
We are offering the home as a vacation rental to share the magic of northen Michigan with others who appreciate the beauty and the lifestyle that shaped our family's lives.
