About the host

Hosted by Shelly Novotny

Host profile image
We are Jeff and Shelly Novotny. We have been married for over thirty years. Jeff is a Charlevoix native who grew up in the neighborhood and I moved here when we got married. Jeff owns a painting business in town and I am a retired teacher and current realtor. We have three grown, amazing children. Our daughters both live in Grand Rapids and our son lives in Traverse City with his family. We have a puppy named Nellie who is busy, cute, and happy. In our free time we enjoy the water, weather, sunsets, and friends. We live here year around and are involved in everything Charlevoix from boating, golf, cards with friends and much more. We enjoy hosting because we love seeing people fall in love with Charlevoix the way we did. We live close by and are happy to help before, during, and after your stay!

Why they chose this property

The property is located on the southeast side of Charlevoix close to Lake Charlevoix, walking distance to downtown, boat launch, beach, playgrounds, shopping center, post office, hardware store, pharmacies and Castle Farms, which are all easily accessible without traveling on busy Bridge Street. We choose this location because you can easily walk almost everywhere and to run errands, you can do it without any traffic. It is also very peaceful, full of nature, and quiet.

What makes this property unique

Our property is walking distance to town. It is in a quiet neighborhood. It has great neighbors and you can sit on the front porch and enjoy the huge yard. There are tons of birds to sit and watch and you can enjoy the grill and fire pit in a private backyard which nicely extends the living space of the house. There are two playgrounds across the street and delightful sidewalks for a nice stroll whenever you choose. A perfect destination is our Charlevoix famous Dairy Grill just a block away.
