This home was comfortable, very clean, and a place that my sister and four friends felt very at home. The location was great as we could walk downtown or to the beach within 10 minutes. It was great to have a bathroom on both floors and the mattresses on the beds were very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Charlevoix! I recommend staying here!

We felt right at home. We met up with our son/daughter-in-law and daughter for the weekend. There was plenty of space for all five of us. We all loved the layout of the bedrooms and the spacious kitchen. It was clean and comfortable and a great location for going to the beach or downtown. The 'kids' want to do it again next year.

July 4th Family Vacation!

This house was absolutely beautiful! So cute, so clean and it has a great backyard for family games and a fire pit for making s'mores. The location was perfect for walking into the town. It had everything you could want! The host was incredibly friendly and accommodating! We had such a wonderful time we didn’t want to leave! I would highly recommend this home for anyone interested in renting!

The house fit 6 people comfortably. The owners are extremely nice. The rules for the house were extremely easy. I will most definitely be renting this house again from them in the future. We used the grill the one night and my kids loved that there was a play set outback.

The home is immaculate and very homey. Kitchen is stocked with all of the essentials and beyond! The location is perfect-five minute walk to downtown for shopping and dining. . . There is a hill! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend and rent again. Only request would be a full length mirror somewhere. We were attending a wedding so it would have been helpful. Still five stars all the way around!

An Amazing Northern Michigan getaway!

We rented this darling home for the week. It was so clean and updated and the owner was very responsive to all of our needs. We have visited Northern Michigan many times before but never to Charlevoix! It did not disappoint and we all had a great time. We toured the Castle, the Mushroom homes, went canoeing and visited a Lavender Farm. We ate so much wonderful food from the local fudge shops, ice cream and amazing whitefish. We will definitely be back!

Wedding in Charlevoix,

We enjoyed our stay, although some of the amenities listed were not there. It would be nice if are they had a few couch blankets,scissors for the kitchen, maybe some board games, dice or playing cards. Overall, it was nice and we made it work. Derek worked very well with us for our early arrival and accommodating our family get together for breakfast and later in the evening for dinner Thank you Karen

May up north

Loved the door locks, beds were comfortable, home was clean and not cluttered. Easy walk to downtown, somewhat quite location; a few houses off Bridge Street so some traffic noise, but if windows were closed, no issues. Would have liked the yard mowed, but in spring it’s tricky. Could have used a few more kitchen items, rubber spatula, serving dishes, salt and pepper. Would stay again!

. Wonderful family experience

.The house is centrally located, a short walk to beaches, library (great for children), grocery, docks, shopping. The house is well maintained, has a wonderful fenced yard with swings for children, a fire pit, a gas grill and a picnic table (which we used for a couple dinners with other family members also in town the same week) The owners were exceptionally considerate and responded quickly to any questions.

Picture perfect

Family of five in town for a 90th birthday party. The location was central to everything we had planned. The house and fenced in yard provided more than enough space. The window units were nice on the hot days. We had a quick snag on check in and the owners were easy to get ahold of to resolve. Thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Derek Howard

Host profile image
Hello all,
My family and I recently bought this home and gave it a huge face lift that we know you will appreciate and love as much as we have. I have been vacationing Charlevoix for over 30 years and find this to be one of the most incredible places around! This isn't just a rental home as we stay here as often as possible and have tried to make our home as welcoming for all of our guests including you! I am always available and also have a handyman on-call with any issue's. We call this second home of ours are "happy place!" and hope you enjoy as much as we do :)

Why they chose this property

With our parents selling their home recently on lake Charlevoix (they owned since I was a child), we found it a must to buy our own. We love up north living! We wanted the perfect location, close to downtown(less than 2 blocks!) and the water (both Michigan and Lake Charlevoix)!! We also wanted to make it our own, so we chose to buy a home that needed to be updated. We tore down and built walls, updated basically everything to make it a wonderful vacation home!

What makes this property unique

Even though Charlevoix is an extremely safe place, we added a private fence covering the whole back and side of the home. We like our privacy and have young children of our own :) There is a great playset for the kids! With a bedroom and full bathroom downstairs, our elderly parents don't have to go upstairs for anything. In terms of being as close to downtown as possible, we are one of the closest homes available.
