Charlevoix and Foster Boat Works are special places for us. We first came here in July 1994, shortly after we met. We immediately fell in love with Charlevoix. When we got married in October 1994, we came here for our honeymoon and for twenty three years we have been coming back regularly. Now that we have our own condo here, we come with our family for the summers and every other chance we get. This place is special to us and holds many memories. It is our paradise. We are glad to be able to share it with you and hope that you can make some fond memories for yourselves.
Jeff & Christine Mason purchased this condo in 2013
This is our paradise where we can
. . . Stroll down a white sandy beach searching for unique Michigan rocks surrounded by the golden sun
. . . Travel along on a country road and see the most spectacular fall foliage ever
. . . Listen to the mesmerizing sound of sailboat riggings chiming and clear blue waters rolling onto shore
. . . Enjoy shopping, dining, an art fair or outdoor concert or just watching the boats float by under the drawbridge
. . . Ski down a hill with an unmatched view of Lake Michigan
. . . Simply relax and be in a place where our only concern is washing the sand from our toes or planning our next adventure... where the perfect life becomes a reality… where we can find ourselves. . . and realize what life should really be about
. . . We always imagined this: paradise. Paradise is a reality for us when we are at Foster Boat Works in Charlevoix, Michigan. It's our Paradise Up North.
Foster Boat Works is a friendly and quiet community located in the midst of all the joys and necessities of a vacation place in any season. We love that we can sit on our patio and enjoy the sunrise, sounds of the boat rigging clanging, and the water lapping up on shore. We enjoy getting out and exploring the nearby beaches and hiking and biking trails. We like to get our city-fix by visiting downtown shopping and dining area. The free arts and entertainment opportunities are endless and we take advantage of as many as we can. We are appreciative that the necessities of a grocery and general store are within walking distance. This place does not disappoint.
We stayed the week after Christmas and it was wonderful. (We usually stay in the summer.) The super clean and cozy condo was a great place to return to after a busy day exploring. We spent the days skiing at the local ski hill - Mt. McSauba, sledding, skiing at Boyne Highlands, dining locally, walking and shopping downtown. Seeing the beach and lighthouse covered in ice was amazing! And were very surprised and delighted to be able to find Petoskey stones in the dead of winter! We enjoyed Charlevoix in the winter just as much as we do in the summer. The Masons were very attentive to our questions and once again made our stay perfect. We will be back.
Our second time staying in this specific condo! Adorable and sqeeky clean condo with a stellar view. Cozy and comfortable ....its impossible not to relax. We will be back to this rental again.
great communication and Jeff was easy to work with and very accommodating.
We had a great stay at your condo...Everything was clean, tidy and well organized. We enjoyed watching the boats come and go from the marina area and those morning sunrises were awesome! It was a quick ride to downtown to explore some shops, have a good breakfast or lunch and take in the farmer's market. We came away feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. It's a great place to get away from daily stress and unwind.
The place was in great condition and easy to relax in. The marina out front was nice and gave a calm feel. Downtown Charlevoix is close enough to walk to which was fun. You are only 30min from Petosky and Boyne City and both of those places have a lot to do. We would recommend this place to others.
Although we didn't take full advantage of all the amenities, we were happy to have a peaceful retreat at the end of busy days. We highly recommend staying here (the morning sunrise from the patio is gorgeous!) and hope to be back next summer.
