About this property
Gorgeous Charlevoix Home on Lake Michigan!
Experience the beauty of Charlevoix from ‘Bally Aran Loch’ (Gaelic for home on the lake), a 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom vacation rental house located just 25 steps from the shores of Lake Michigan. This custom-designed timber house comes with 121 feet of private waterfront, breathtaking views, and a series of decks overlooking a stunning coastline! When you’re ready to venture out of the house, there is kayaking, fishing, sailing, and paddle-boarding all within minutes of your rental!
-- THE PROPERTY --
Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Twin Bed | Bedroom 3: Queen Bed | Bedroom 4: Full Bed, Twin Bunk Bed | Bedroom 5: Queen Bed
Step off of the small shoreline with natural ‘rock seating’ and Petoskey stones and head upstairs into this beautifully designed custom timber house with high vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring throughout, and a geothermal heating and cooling system. The spacious and open living room features a large sectional couch, gas fireplace, and plenty of windows providing ample natural light and views of Lake Michigan and the Leelanau Peninsula.
Off the living room sits a large, fully equipped kitchen with plenty of counter space, bar seating, and a polished-stone topped kitchen island. The room includes a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, microwave, and an automatic dishwasher.
The adjacent dining area features a large table set for 8, and is situated next to a huge window, from which you can enjoy stunning lake views.
Head down to the basement to find a game room, which includes a full-sized pool table, and foosball table. There is also a large, plush couch in the space, perfect for relaxing between some spirited games.
When you’re ready for some fresh air, head to one of the house’s spacious decks that comes thoughtfully complete with a porch swing, a charcoal grill, and table seating. There is also easy access to the lake and a lush yard, perfect for outdoor activities or a campfire overlooking the lake.
-- THE LOCATION --
Step into the beauty of Lake Michigan from this beautiful house, located just 15 minutes from the heart of Charlevoix. Just a 1/2 mile away, you’ll find Fisherman’s Island State Park with sprawling white sand beaches for launching kayaks or strolling down miles of beach.
When it’s time to go into town, you’ll find no shortage of attractions in Charlevoix. From golf courses, craft beer and wineries, to historic Ernest Hemingway sites and Castle Farms and orchards, this town has enough to keep even the most selective vacationers entertained. The area also features multiple dining and shopping options, as well as stunning gardens and multiple seasonal events.
