About this property

Amazing sunsets overlooking Lake Michigan!

Welcome to the Dune Cottage with incredible views of Lake Michigan and the Beaver Island archipelago. Facing west into every sunset, this fully renovated 3-story cottage was built into the dunes at a time that current regulations prevent. All you see from the large deck is a 230-degree panoramic view of Lake Michigan. We have a private beach, and a 100-yard walk away gives access to 3 miles of unspoiled, remote, protected, undeveloped land!

The cottage includes a new kitchen, appliances, three new bathrooms, lighting, furniture, flooring, and decor. Four bedrooms are spacious enough to host up to 10 guests comfortably. Nestled inside Fisherman's Island State Park, it allows access to 2800 acres of protected land for hiking and hunting in season.

The Dune Cottage is conveniently located just 12 minutes from downtown Charlevoix. Charlevoix boasts a vibrant marina and East Park, unique restaurants, shopping, and a farmers market. There is no better location in Charlevoix. There are many golf course options within a short distance from the cottage. Snow skiing in the winter months is easily accessible as well.

We have been in the weekly rental business for 2 decades and always enjoy sharing our lovely properties with our guests.

About the host

Hosted by Anne Hornak

Host profile image
We have been vacationing in Charlevoix for 40 years and enjoy the area immensely. Whatever the season, it is truly an amazing place! We all enjoy the beaches, restaurants, shopping, boating, marinas, golfing, library, orchards, festivals, neighboring towns, etc. We're so fortunate to have found this property located precisely where we wanted it: on miles of sand where the sunsets are INCREDIBLE and a short drive from downtown (Bridge Street).

Why they chose this property

Charlevoix offers some many wonderful amenities. Downtown has cute shops, Dune Cottage offers a retreat space with privacy and miles of beach to walk, while being within 10 minutes of town. Enjoy quiet evenings at cottage with a beautiful sunset or head into town for an amazing time on Round Lake.

What makes this property unique

In the winter, we take advantage of skiing at Nubs Nob, Boyne Highlands/Mountain, and sledding/ice skating locally at Mt McSauba.
