The house is beautiful and accommodated our large family. The owners have done a great job at having things to make a vacation even better and worry free: from the ice machine to the kayaks, a fully stocked kitchen to fire wood giving us an opportunity to enjoy a campfire on the beach. Thank you for helping us make wonderful memories. One thing I would recommend is to bring water shoes as the beach is quite rocky and filled with shells.

Great house with beautiful view

This house was completely true to the VRBO listing and then some. There was plenty of room for 11 adults, including several elderly people and one with impaired mobility. The house was also very well-stocked, allowing us to easily cook and serve large family meals. The view from the deck was beautiful, and, yes, we found several petoskey stones and other fossils along the beach. Owners were responsive, easy to communicate with.

Looking for a dream vacation spot?

The house and property were as we remembered as our family stayed here two summers ago. The home is spacious, comfortable, and very accommodating to large families. The deck is phenomenal with a short walk to the private beach on Lake Michigan. Our grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this rental. We’re only sorry that in looking at next summer’s availability, there appears to be nothing that works within our time frame. We highly recommend this property for a superb family vacation spot!

Epic Family Vacation

This amazingly beautiful property exceeded our expectations! The accommodations were perfect for our group which included my father, who has difficulty walking, and five families with children ranging from the age of 5 to 18. Beach access, a gorgeous deck and view of Lake Michigan, two huge inside gathering areas, bike ride distance to the park for pickleball fun, etc. We could not ask for more. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We feel blessed for being able to stay there.

Perfect Christmas with our large family!

Wow! They truly thought of everything. It was a perfect Christmas vacation with our family of 16. Plenty of space, towels, dishes, platters, coffee bar along with a beautifully lit Christmas tree. Beds were really comfy too. We enjoyed the fireplace, fire pit and playing lots of games. We loved our long chilly beach walks and discovering Mt. McSauba. We can’t wait to rent it in the summer months next!

There was enough space for all of us with plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, a spacious area for everyone inside and a beautiful outdoor deck overlooking the beach.

This beautiful home accommodated 20 family members, ages 11 - 95 for a weekend wedding in Charlevoix. We could not have been more pleased with our stay. The home was clean, modern, well supplied. The walk out to Lake Michigan was easy enough for my 95 year old mother to navigate. Communication with the owners has been quick and easy. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us.

Can’t wait to return !

We absolutely loved staying at Peggy and Richard’s Charlevoix home. The setting is beautful- very quiet and private. We loved having our own private beach on Lake Michigan. The kids loved taking out the kayaks! The house is very clean, modern and well stocked with towels, linens and kitchen needs. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. The house is perfect for a large group. The teenagers loved hanging out in the basement. The outdoor deck with gas firepit was such a nice spot to hang out. I can’t wait to return to this very special lake house !

Beautiful & spacious home on Lake Michigan

Our five families (20 in total - grandparents + children & spouses + 10 grandkids) will treasure our summer memories of this comfortable house and beautiful location forever. Kayak trips to the point, building sand castles on the beach, swimming around the cove, hunting for Petoskey stones, cooking S'mores around a campfire, bike rides around the neighborhood, hikes up the dune at nearby Mt. Sauba, watching the sun set over Lake Michigan, family dinners around a single table on the deck or in the dining area, puzzles in the main area, kids playing with the house's toys, in the nook under the stairs, trips to nearby downtown Charlevoix for a café experience, farm-fresh produce and local art. This house had just about everything we could possibly need for a most enjoyable and comfortable stay. The kitchen was well equipped to accommodate many family meals, the comfortable common areas provided ample space to relax without ever feeling crowded. Many beautiful sunsets were viewed from the deck and endless hours of play on the beach were enjoyed by all.

Nothing short of INCREDIBLE!

We just can't possibly say enough about Richard and Peggy's place in Charlevoix. A+ for cleanliness and all the "standards". But the GOOD stuff...the house is perfect for family groups. We had 16 in our group and all the rooms were exactly what we needed. The kids LOVED the triple bunks...the extra large area over the garage...and even the little "secret" kids play area under the stairs. For the adults...it's the little things. The espresso machine...the ice maker...the separate fridge and freezer. The extra large deck for eating or just relaxing. And of course...the BIGGEST HIT of the week...the PRIVATE BEACH! It's absolutely incredible. And HUGE. The kids were down there almost every waking moment...playing in the sand...finding shells...hunting for crabs. And if that wasn't enough...they even provide 3 kayaks for renters to enjoy. And let me tell you...their little cove on Lake Michigan is a wonder. Crystal clear water...breathtaking sunsets. It's all a perfect combination for a relaxing, rejuvenating absolute blast of a vacation. Stop looking and BOOK NOW! You won't regret it.

This was our fourth time spending a summer week at this lovely lake house! The home is beautiful and comfortably accommodates our extended family of 21. We enjoyed numerous spectacular Lake Michigan sunsets from the deck and ventured into the new sauna on one of the cooler days. We enjoyed the many thoughtful touches throughout the property, the kayaks, ice maker, espresso machine, and large tables for dining together as a family. The location makes it easy to go to downtown Charlevoix to visit the shops, restaurants, and farmers' market. The hosts are very attentive to any issues that arise.

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Gautraud

We are a large family of 10 kids and 31 grand-kids. We wanted a Legacy for our family and found this great place to vacation! We have vacationed with our whole gang for 8 years each summer in Montague but had to find a place of our own. Those days have been some of the best in our lives. I hope a place like this will bless your family too.

Why they chose this property

Great beachfront property with a walkout beach for old and young. We have two grandchildren with disabilities the beach access was ideal for their needs.

What makes this property unique

The open plan helps people feel connected yet the downstairs give the kids or adults a place of their own. Our own family has found this a great feature!
