Ironton Shore Farms: 4 Bedroom Farmhouse on Lake Charlevoix with Beach and dock
Enjoy the breathtaking views of Lake Charlevoix and the Ironton narrows from your own private beach/lake access and sun deck. On Bring your boat, the private dock and mooring ball are included. Sitting on 2 beautiful green acres on the shores of Ironton Cove rests an early 1900s immaculately furnished farm house offering four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Sleeps 10.
It's like taking a step back in time. At the foot of the historic Ironton Ferry and only seven miles from Boyne City, the location is perfect. Crossing the Ironton Ferry, downtown Charlevoix is 5 miles away, and only 3 miles from Northern Michigans premiere wedding destination venue, Castle Farms. Across the narrows from your beach is the Landings Restaurant, Lake Charlevoix's premier lakefront dining. Enjoy a casual round of golf at Ye Nyne Olde Holes Golf Club just down the road. Perfect location for winter vacationers as well, with Boyne Mountain Ski Resort only a 15 minute drive. The property also conducive for cross country skiing, snow shoeing and snowmobilers, with access to the lake as well as the great big front and back yard the farm house for your own recreational use. Perfect for all four seasons; from the hot summer days lounging on the sun deck, to the crisp Autumn afternoons during color tour, to the majestic winter landscape that northern Michigan has to offer. This property has it all.
For the kids, a volleyball and badminton net set up in the side yard for more outdoor family fun.

Nice location walkable to the lake. From inside the house, views of the lake are limited. We walked the short distance to the lake and enjoyed a wonderful night sitting lakeside near the fire pit.
We absolutely loved this property. The location was perfect. We really enjoyed the yard (badminton, volleyball and croquet). The fire pit down on Lake Charlevoix was beautiful.
This house had cute charm, a lot of extra fun activities to keep us busy, in the volleyball area was an awesome bonus. We had a great time and the owner is very nice with good communication.
Cool spot with lots of amenities. Beach is a little rocky so not ideal for small children, but there’s a great public park with sandy beach and shallow water just a few minutes down the road. Nate was great!
Beautiful big house,
spotless clean,
everything you might need can be found.
Property and house are extremely well taken care of.
Nice place on the beach with afternoon sun and dock, fireplace at the beach and at the house.
Volleyball net, lots of games.
Great space and location for family vacation. We brought bikes and a canoe and were familiar with the area from multiple family camping trips. We love the outdoors and the location on the water allowed us to go on sunrise paddles have a couple lakeside campfire hot dog roasts and s'mores. Nate was awesome and so responsive before and during the trip! He provided firewood and drinking water, and lots of great advice about things to do including local resources when we had a car issue. The free pedestrian ferry ride to the lakeside restaurant was a nice perk. We have several runners in the family and since the road dead ends at the ferry, the roads felt very safe for running. The house had ample space for our group, and we cooked a few meals in the well equipped kitchen.
This home had wonderful old farmhouse charm and was perfect for our family ski trip to Boyne. There was plenty of room for everyone, and we had a great stay. Nate was a fantastic host with excellent communication—he even shoveled and salted the walk before our arrival, which we really appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.
Very clean, close to the water and huge yard. Very helpful when we had left some items behind and Nate went above and beyond to get our stuff mailed back to us.
Great view. close to the Ironton Ferry. kids enjoyed the game room

Everything that could have possibly went wrong did go wrong at the outset of our trip: the Heat wouldn't work, the electricity went out in the common areas, etc. Nevertheless, I am giving Nate a 5-Star review for his property because of how quickly he responded to everything, even getting a Handyman in very late at night to fix everything and get us up and running so that on Day 2 we were having the time of our lives. Thanks Nate - we are grateful for your slice of Ironton paradise and will be back!
Simon and Garfunkel "I Am a Rock" on an 80's turntable and matching Sony speakers while painting with my 4 children at the kitchen table. It was perfect.
We enjoyed staying at the Farmhouse while we were spending the weekend skiing. We had room to spread out. We loved the record collection and had a blast playing them when we were back from the slopes in the evenings. Nate was super responsive when we had questions. We would stay again if we were in the area.
My family and I had a wonderful time and made many memories to forever remember. The house was exceptionally wonderful. Nate was an absolute wonderful host. He was always available. We plan to rebook this location again next summer. The location was magnificent.
Our family rented this home so we could go to a Friday Night Wedding. What a wonderful home to stay at. Even though we were unable to use all of the outside facilities available to us due to the fact it rained the entire weekend. Family members enjoyed it so much they asked when can we come back?
We were there for a family wedding and had age ranges from 18-90. The house was comfy, the outdoor space was wonderful and when the ferry was running, we were very close to where we needed to be:)

Quaint and cozy
Our family had an amazing time! You walked inside the house, and it was like you were walking back in time. We went to Avalanche Bay, BC Pizza, and a night of tubing at Boyne Mountain. The kids had smiles on their faces all weekend. Score!
The property was great and Nate was the best host. Our family had a lot of fun playing in the yard, sitting on the porch and beach deck. We did realize we needed to purchase drinking water as the home’s water I am guessing was high in iron. We enjoyed being able to catch the ferry so easily.
We had a great time. The house is an older farm house, but it had everything we needed. The property is large with a lot of green space, and the access to the water is very nice. The only issue is that the lake is across the road, which can be lined up with cars parked and waiting for a ferry, but it didn’t interfere with our stay too much. We brought our boat and this location was perfect access point to explore everything Lake Charlevoix has to offer.
