About this property

Charming Charlevoix Downtown Cottage - Ideal Location with Central Air

We welcome you to 206 Clinton, a classic Charlevoix cottage. No car necessary for this historical, downtown location. 206 Clinton is in the middle of the cultural corridor and shares the same block as the wonderful Charlevoix Library. Two short blocks to Lake Michigan beach, a block to Bridge Street and you will find lively restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, the town grocery store and quaint retail shops. A visit to Earl Young's Mushroom Houses are in the Charlevoix historical area and magnificent Lake Michigan anchors this beautiful and picturesque area. It's a quick walk to Round Lake Harbor which feeds into beautiful Lake Charlevoix! Or walk about two blocks to the famous "bridge" and watch the famous Beaver Island Ferry cruising thru the channel.

206 Clinton Cottage is a charming updated ranch-style home with central air conditioning and hardwood floors throughout. ALL ROOMS ARE ON ONE FLOOR. The 'blue' master bedroom, has a queen bed and an ensuite bathroom with hand-held shower. A second bedroom, the 'green' room, has a full bed and a twin bed and attached full bath. The 'yellow' bedroom has two twin beds. Linens are provided. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a very private deck off the kitchen/breakfast room with tables and seating. The patio has a gas grill. 206 has central air conditioning, both main floor and basement laundry centers with updated equipment. You will go home with clean clothes. There is a large paved driveway next to the house that will accommodate several cars. The front porch is lovely and a cozy spot for people watching and enjoying morning coffee and afternoon beverages.

Downtown Charlevoix and the Marina are bustling with activity, including concerts and various art festivals and Charlevoix lends itself as a good base to take day trips to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Traverse City, and the ferry to Beaver Island.

Come and enjoy the beauty of 206 Clinton in Charlevoix and Northern Michigan.

The house is adorable, every detail is so well thought through. The location could not be better, two minutes and you are in downtown Charlevoix. The beautiful library is only steps away from the house. The gardens were dreamy, we sat outside and enjoyed them every morning. Georgia was a fabulous host, hope to be returning soon.

Quaint Charlevoix home close to it all

We had a lovely stay at this quaint home in downtown Charlevoix! We loved being able to walk the beach and downtown. It's close to everything! Our kids loved the big background. It's an older home and very well maintained. It had all the amenities you need. The owner, Georgia, was very responsive!

Great downtown location

We had a great stay in Charlevoix! The house was comfortable and very well kept. Walk to downtown Charlevoix, Lake Michigan, and Lake Charlevoix. Kitchen was very well appointed - chefs knife, bread knife, large cutting board, nice grill - all the things you need to cook for a family. The owners were very helpful and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!

Charlevoix the beautiful

Perfect location. 2 blocks to the waterfront and shopping parade on Round Lake and 3 blocks to the beach park on Lake Michigan. House layout provided privacy for 2 couples and one teenager. Front porch great for morning coffee and evening chat. Back deck with grill great for cooking and eating dinner outside.

A fantastic house in a great location

There’s a reason this listing has so many excellent reviews! Description and photos are accurate, though may not entirely convey the loveliness. They have everything a family needs, plus some fun games and books. Storage space, bathrooms, kitchen amenities, laundry, TV’s, lots of lighting, comfortable. Very clean. Easy check in, host easily available. Big back yard, nice deck and front porch, beautiful flowers/landscaping. The location is fantastic—same block as fantastic Charlevoix library which has cool outdoor things for kids as well; walk a block to get to mushroom houses (a little farther to the Boulder Park houses), block and a half to Lake Michigan beach/pier/lighthouse/sunsets then turn to see the drawbridge; block and a half to the charming downtown and the park/marina (where you can catch ferry to Beaver Island or find a sailboat charter and public restrooms are clean); two short blocks to grocery store. The downtown has so many cute shops, restaurants, coffee shops, the alleys have giant chess and jenga for kids. We drove the ten minutes to Castle Farms to spend some hours, drove to Ferry Beach one afternoon, drove over to Applecore Cottage and explored the path to the beach there, drove up to Harbor Springs one day and Thorn Swift Nature Preserve, and finished with the Pirate Fest in Boyne City. Recommend all these. But mostly we just enjoyed being in Charlevoix—farmers market and concerts at the band shell, seeing the last supermoon of the year rise up over the Round Lake harbor, heading down to Lake Michigan beach and the lighthouse for sunsets, and, honestly being so comfortable in this house. Thank you Georgia and Gene for all the care and attention to your place and checking in to see that we arrived ok.

Charlevoix House

My family and I recently stayed for a week at this beautiful home in Charlevoix. The listing was exactly what we had hoped for, and more! The location to town and the beach were amazing. My 7 and 9 yr old are already asking to go back! Georgia was so friendly and helpful with tips and ideas, a true pleasure to deal with. We loved the front porch for morning coffee, the back deck for grilling, the playground 2 houses away, the comfy beds, and having enough space for 2 adults and 2 kids. The house had everything we needed!

Perfect location!

We absolutely loved this house and it’s location. We walked about a block to restaurants/shops and about 2 blocks to the beach. This is an old house but has been beautifully updated - the bathrooms especially. One of our favorite things to do was to sit on the big front porch and enjoy the cool evenings. The owner was very organized and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely In-Town Cottage

My family thoroughly enjoyed this charming, comfortable cottage. We loved the porches, the comfortable livingroom furniture, the flat screen TV's and USB charging stations in the bedrooms, and the well-equipped kitchen. My grandchildren liked the large backyard and proximity to a playground. The owners have beautifully updated the bathrooms and provided many thoughtful amenities throughout the house to make their guests feel welcome. Plus, everything is on one floor so it is safe and convenient for all ages.

Lovely Charlevoix Home in Perfect Location

Our family--Nana, Mom and two grandchildren (age 9 and 12) had a great week Up-North in this beautiful well-equipped home located two blocks from large white sand beach on Lake Michigan and two blocks from the shops and restaurants of Charlevoix. All the age-diverse members of our small group were happy and comfortable and sad to leave. We spent most days at the beach or in-town, leaving only to rent paddle boards at Lake Charlevoix beach 1--2 miles away. We walked to the dock for a sunset sail around Lake Charlevoix and into Lake Michigan. Our kids walked independently to a small 'pocket park' on the library grounds 1/2 block away. This home is comfortable and beautiful and equipped to anticipate every need. Kitchen and bathrooms are newly restored. The high ceilings and crown molding are charming evidence of the homes age. The beds and furniture are comfy and inviting. TV's are plentiful. Wifi works well. (However, kids 'screen time' was minimal--always a plus at this age!) All-in-all, a lovely experience! We definitely hope to return. Sharon

Great place to stay in Charlevoix

This was our first time in Charelvoix, and we really enjoyed this rental home. It's location was great: easy walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach. The pluses: the bathrooms had been recently updated and were in great condition, and the two larger bedrooms were nicely appointed. Our only regret was that there were not more window coverings on the bedroom windows - it was hard to sleep in with the early summer sunrise. The property was clean and well maintained, and the owners were very helpful answering all of our questions prior to arrival. We happened to be there the weekend the nearby library was having a book fair, and we loved getting a chance to see the space. Easy trip to Petoskey or Mackinac Island for sight-seeing.
