On the main level, you’ll find an upscale, fully equipped kitchen featuring an induction stovetop—perfect for preparing meals after a day on the water. The spacious living room showcases floor-to-ceiling windows that frame stunning lake views and fill the home with natural light.

The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with a full bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and walkout balcony—an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy sunset views over the lake. Just next door, you’ll find a kid-friendly guest room with a twin bed and a twin daybed that converts into a king. A full hallway bathroom with a tub/shower combination also includes a convenient stackable washer and dryer.

Upstairs, a loft-style family room provides additional space to relax, along with a guest room featuring both a king and queen bed.

The lower level offers even more room for your group, with two additional guest rooms—one with a king bed and one with a queen bed—plus a shared full bathroom with a walk-in shower. You’ll also find a third living space with plenty of seating and tables for games, watching TV, and enjoying the home’s impressive 22-foot shuffleboard table. Walkout access leads directly to the lower patio.

Outdoor fun is endless! Spend your days enjoying two kayaks, a paddleboard, and large group inflatables, or relax on the beach and play in the sand. This home is also pet-friendly (non-refundable pet fee applies and may be charged separately for third-party bookings).

Great stay!

We had such a wonderful trip! This is such a beautiful lake house on a gorgeous lake. We were able to kayak around the lake and golf in the area. The house is so beautiful, comfortable and peaceful with gorgeous lake views. Love that it was dog friendly and well supplied. Would absolutely stay here again!

Nice Stay

Nice house, nice location. There is not a direct path to the water which I have knee issues and couldn't get down to the water so that was disappointing. No fault of the owners but there were a pair of swans that were very aggressive and the weather was not favorable but overall it was nice to be back in the area.

Good for large group

Overall great stay and beautiful view of the East Jordan River. However, there was no note that stated there was no AC. Really hot in the upstairs rooms. Doors in the downstairs rooms/bathrooms do not shut which was uncomfortable when changing/using the bathroom.

HI Keri-Thank you for your review- We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay on the Narrows of Lake Charlevoix. It is a very unique location with great water views. We do note in the amenities section that this home does not have AC. I will certainly have maintenance check the doors in the lower level as we have never had any issues with them shutting or locking and would encourage you in the future when there is an issue to reach directly out to your property manager so that any issues can be addressed immediately. We hope to see you back on your next trip to Northern Michigan.

great rental on lake Charleviox

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: house was fine, bit warm but that's a welcome rarity in northern Michigan. well-equipped house, we cooked 6 times at the house, five times at the grill next to the outdoor table. The best feature is the location. we were able to rent a tri-tune and dock it out front because back side of holy island is completely protected. I was able to sail my Hobbie cat onto the beach. other locations on the lake are frequently too rough for beaching or even docking without a lift.A previous reviewer suggested that getting to the beach could be better laid out, we agree, and suspect updates will come. but not a showstopper by any stretch.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to hear that you found the house well-equipped and enjoyed the warm weather—a welcome surprise in Northern Michigan! It sounds like you made the most of the grill and kitchen, and we're delighted that the location allowed you to dock your tri-tune and sail your Hobie Cat with ease. The protection on the back side of Holy Island is indeed a unique feature, and we're happy you took advantage of it. We appreciate your feedback about the beach access. We're always looking for ways to improve, and your suggestion aligns with what we've heard from other guests. While it’s not a showstopper, we’ll certainly keep it in mind for future updates. Thank you again for choosing our property, and we hope to welcome you back for another great stay on the lake! NME Staff
