5 Bedroom Cottage in Charlevoix

Enjoy Lake Life from our Northern Michigan paradise
This roomy lakefront cabin, part of an 8-acre family compound, is located on wooded land fronting a private stony beach with its own dock. Built in 1918, this cabin has been enjoyed by five generations of our family. It has been modernized, yet much of its original character and cabin vibe is preserved. There are lake and/or woods views from every room in the cabin. You may not want to leave the land, but if you do, three quaint Northern Michigan towns- Charlevoix, Boyne City, and Petoskey- offer dining, shopping, and sites just a short drive away. This unique property has been the heart of our family for generations and we would love to share it's magic with you.
This home offers ample space to retreat and relax. The 100-year-old stone fireplace anchors the lodge-like open concept living and dining room with 30 feet of windows overlooking the lake. It is perfect for family gatherings with space for multiple independent activities. A smaller family room with 50-inch smart TV offers a cozy spot to hang out as well. The kitchen with a large central island is perfect for cooking and entertaining.
This home has three large primary bedrooms, all with king beds, sitting and working space, ensuite full bathrooms, and stunning lake views. Two of the primary bedrooms, accessed through private stairways, have a tree-house feel. The first-floor primary bedroom has a walk-in shower with a bench. In addition, there is a twin bedroom as well as a bunkroom with five beds which offer spaces for kids and young adults to stay.
Relax, unwind, and commune with nature. A large deck, located off the main living space, offers plenty of seating, a dining area, and a gas grill, perfect for lazy days and outdoor dinners. Two of the primary suites have their own decks as well. Follow the stairs down to 200 feet of private beach front. Our dock has a platform over the water for sunning and swimming in pristine Lake Charlevoix. The dock connects to a sunny deck and the open air “Bellhouse” which offers a shady spot to relax and unwind.
This cabin has many modern conveniences. There is high speed internet and electric baseboard heat but no air conditioning. There are ceiling fans and/or electric fans in all rooms. There is a washer/dryer in the mudroom off of the kitchen.
This beloved house comes with the quirks of a cabin in the woods. Our woods and lake area remain a natural habitat for various forms of wildlife. If spiders upset you, this is not your place. If you love being in nature and a rustic up north vibe, you will feel right at home!
Please note the neighboring cabins belong to our extended family. The surrounding woods and road leading to the cabin are all on undeveloped family land which has been lovingly kept in its natural state. All guests are asked to respect our neighbors and observe quiet hours after 10 pm. You’ll have exclusive use of our beach during your stay, but the adjoining beaches and grounds are private and not for your use. We don't allow parties, large gatherings, or occupancy over our limit. This special spot is for family and friends who want to unplug and enjoy lake life to its fullest.

Summary: Honestly, we all loved it. The listing is accurate — it’s a great place for a family to spend some time together, but it’s also not as polished as some might be looking for. But when you’re spending all of your days on the deck, at the water, in the water, what more can you ask for!The bedroom situation is great for multiple couples and kids that can handle being with one another. The bathrooms are nice and so is the kitchen.There is no AC (as the listing says) but even when it was hot, it cooled down enough at night with the fans to make sleeping comfortable.We really loved it!
