About this property

Huge Views of Lake Michigan - Beach/Town Just Steps Away

It’s practically perfect in every way.

This stunning house is newly built, completed in 2020, with all the space you need, rooms with a view and a location that’s close to the beach, the park, the marina, shopping and entertainment. There’s everything you need for you and your family to create lasting memories.

Easy living

The main area is bright, spacious and comfortable with a gas fireplace and lots of natural light. Have a seat and take in the ambience and panoramic view of the Pine River Channel and Lake Michigan. For the techsters who can’t let go, “Alexa” is always at your service. After a long day of strenuous vacationing, get a sound sleep on new memory foam mattresses in the three bedrooms (also with “Alexa”) that fit 10 comfortably in beds. There are three full baths, no waiting. The energy efficient central air and furnace ensure the perfect temperature inside regardless of the weather outside.

Cooking with gas

Like a home-cooked meal? Go to it in the modern kitchen with gas range, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. Or just fire up the natural gas grill on the patio. No need to fiddle with heavy propane tanks or messy charcoal. Enjoy a burger, salad or beverages on the private patio. There’s even an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach or a morning run. Handling laundry during your stay will be both easy and convenient. The full-size front-loading washer and dryer are located on the second floor.

Rooms with a view

Watch Lake Michigan's waves break from the living room, kitchen and bedrooms. Along with the water views, you’ll get the sun in the morning and the moon at night from the front deck and balcony. We guarantee a glorious sunset every night, weather permitting. You may even see the International Space Station passing overhead.

Location, location, location

This spot is special, one of the best for enjoying all of Charlevoix and surrounding areas. If you want sun and sand, step out the front door and walk along the Pine River Channel, only 150 feet away. From there, head for a short 300-foot stroll to the beach and lighthouse on Lake Michigan. Wave to the passing catamarans, cruisers or passengers on the ferry as it leaves to Beaver Island. To get to town, head east along the channel path. It’s just a 10-minute jaunt to Charlevoix’s business district. You’ll find unique boutiques, casual and fine dining, pubs, gourmet food and wine shops, craft beers, live music, concerts, comedy, tours and more.

The great outdoors

For more activity in your life, take your pick. Hike the trails at Mt. McSauba, or put your mettle to the pedals and bike along the 26-mile paved Little Traverse Wheelway. Charter a fishing trip or sail Lake Michigan. Plus there’s golfing, kayaking, birding and much more. In the winter, put on your skis, (downhill or cross-country) strap on your snowshoes, lace up your ice skates.

Who could ask for anything more?

Everything you could need or want is here or just minutes away. Daytime activities, nighttime entertainment. Take your pick and go. Then after it all, sit back, relax and enjoy the lightness of being in Charlevoix.

We had an incredible time in Charlevoix in the Palmer House. The house was relaxing, cozy and just what our family needed. The beds were very comfortable, including the pillows, the baths/showers were great and the kitchen was awesome. The beach chairs and towels made our treks to the beach convenient and relaxing. Mornings and evenings on the front porch rocking chairs helped start and close our days.

The rental is beautiful, well equipped and awesome location. We had a problem with the entrance code one night, we weren't able to contact the host right away but we eventually were able to connect and he was more than helpful and gracious. Very nice man. We did call the VRBO contact center at the time and they were less than helpful, spent an hour on the phone with them, did not get any help and discovered they have no emergency plan in place. Very disappointed in VRBO itself but the host and rental were awesome!!!

Perfect location for a week away

Super comfortable house perfectly situated a short walk to downtown Charlevoix. House was clean (we enjoyed watching the roomba). Kitchen seemed well stocked although too many good restaurants in Charlevoix so we didn’t cook much. Will definitely book here again next time we come to northern Michigan.

Relaxing Charlevoix.

We have been vacationing in Charlevoix for thirty years. It’s become our home away from home. Our family has outgrown the hotel we use to stay at. We found this Vrbo and it was spacious, clean, quiet, steps from the beach, and within walking distance to restaurants and shops. Tim was very quick in responding to any help we needed.

Great for our trip

Visited Charlevoix for a wedding at Castle Farms. The Palmer house location had a water view out all front windows plus the sidewalk along the channel allowed easy walk-ability to town as well as guests who may be staying at the hotels and condos to walk to our rental. The house is clean and comfortable, open floor plan on the first floor, large deck in the front and large patio in the back. The owners are not new to renting as everything is easy to use and to maintain cleanliness. The small parking lot between the house and water does have lights at night but can easily be blocked with the bedroom shades. The lot also adds extra parking and room to the rental. This rental met all expectations and helped us have a great wedding weekend.

We’ve stayed at this home several times now, and it’s become one of our favorite family traditions. It’s the perfect getaway — ideal for families or a small group of friends. The location couldn’t be better: walking distance to everything in town and just a short drive to Petoskey, the Tunnel of the Trees, and so many great spots nearby.Each visit has been a wonderful mix of comfort, convenience, and connection. The home is always clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully set up for guests. We look forward to returning each year — it’s truly a special place that’s become part of our family’s story.

Coffee on the Porch

Overall we loved it but there were some down sides, especially for us since we were all over 77. We knew there were stairs but these were steep and short in depth. Fine for the young but not us. Since it was warm, fans would have been appreciated. The chairs to the table were uncomfortable to try and do a puzzle or even eat since there were no backs and they were tall. I knew there was probably something between the house and the water since no view was pictured. Indeed, a parking lot. But due to time of year it was mostly empty and was not a distraction. We had never seen that type of keypad before so more instructions would have been helpful. Now the great: the location was fantastic, the porch was so neat to sit on and watch the boats go by, we had a buck and a doe join us on several days, it was quiet and very relaxing. Also a nice neighbor. We enjoyed our stay very much!

About the host

Hosted by Tim Kish

Host profile image
Greetings! I am a husband and dad with varied interests that include flying, cycling, skiing, and making great experiences for my guests. I have over 14-years experience hosting 5-star properties on both VRBO and other sites.

Guests find me to be both proactive and responsive. I do my best to anticipate the needs of my guests, but when life throws me a surprise it is addressed promptly.

Why they chose this property

You will not find a house in Charlevoix with better views of Lake Michigan, access to the Lake Michigan Beach, and the ability to walk to and from town (about 1/3 mile) along the channel which is not only convenient, but well lit all night long.

You can literally park your car upon arrival, and not start it again until it's time to head back home.
