Accommodations: Cottage, 4 Bedrooms + Detached Unit, 2 Baths (Sleeps 9-11)
Keywords: Cottage
Situated on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, this 1,700 Sq. ft, woodframe cottage on a corner lot is just steps to the beach. We have direct beach access, no other structures between our house and the beach. An enclosed front porch and large rear deck provide ample space for BBQs and viewing sunsets over the lake. Yard large enough for badminton, croquet, etc. The four bedroom cottage and detached (unheated) bunkhouse accomodates up to eleven people (pets welcome). There is a separate dining room, living room, and den with fireplace. The cottage is one block from the new library (for internet), three blocks from business district and marina, and one mile from airfield. Great for family retreats any season of the year. Three major ski resorts are within a half hour drive.

Why the Owner Chose Charlevoix
We didn't buy a vacation rental with the primary purpose of renting, we bought a cottage for ourselves and we invite others to share it with us on a weekly rental basis. This location is right on Lake Michigan and close to the downtown business district and the new library. There is very little car traffic to deal with. We love to walk or bicycle to town, especially after dinner on the deck when thoughts of ice cream or fudge draw us downtown.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
Certainly, a great benefit of our location is that combination of being right at the beach front while being within walking distance of the downtown shops and restaurants.

We've been vacationing in the Charlevoix / Boyne area of northern Michigan for over fifty years. During winters we skiied. During summers we stayed in Charlevoix for the beaches, boating, and socializing. We hope you will too.

We had a great time. The beach is the best - not crowded, great sandy bottom. We swam a lot. Our dog Artemis loved it too. Thanks so much.

Our 10 man stay at this cottage was a perfect golf rental. Conveniently located to 4 excellent golf courses and near the conveniences of downtown Charlevoix did the tricK..Nice deck for grilling and chilling plus a comfy front porch overlooking Lake Michigan made life pleasant.
Owner response:What a great group. Who would have thought that ten guys would leave a place so neat and tidy upon exit?
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, families with young children, sightseeing.
Wonderfully convenient

We loved the cozy character of this house and proximity to the water. We appreciated the fact we could easily walk downtown to restaurants and shops, or to the wonderful library with easy computer access, yet we were far enough from downtown to avoid the noisy traffic and nosy tourists. We lived like locals!
Recommended for:Girls getaway, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
