Beautiful property on Lake Charlevoix. We traveled to Petosky and Mackinaw Island. Plenty of shopping, restaurants and beaches.

Beautiful Views
Views from the cottage were beautiful. Construction on the neighboring county boat ramp were annoying during our stay, but when finished the area will be nice. Cottage could use a thorough deep cleaning. Owner was easy to work with and attentive to any questions.
Host Larry Kish is very easy to work with. He has rented this house 30 years. It has a great layout with a large kitchen joined to a large family room and great views of the lake. There is lots of seating space for eating, lounging and spending time on a porch.
The private dock and boat lift came in very handy. I am not sure if a public boat ramp is being constructed for the 2024 year, which if it is, might pose a challenge to some.
Lovely property to stay at for our family! We had a great week on Charlevoix. The location is perfect, close to Boyne and Charlevoix. The beach located in the campsite next door was incredible for our kids and even the boat launch right next to us was fun for them to watch! The deck provided a beautiful view of the lake and a great spot for nightly dinners!
The house is spacious and the property is amazing. Wonderful views! Larry, the homeowner, was easy to contact and quick with replies. My family and I had a wonderful time!
Fantastic location and wonderful house. We rented a boat for the week and had it moored off the dock. Boat trips to Boyne City and Charlevoix were the highlights of the week. We also visited the Lavender Hill Farm and Traverse City. House had everything we needed - loved the couch. The owner was extremely helpful and communicated well.
We loved our stay at this home. The view is amazing. The location is perfect (isolated for peace, but near downtown Boyne City for amenities). The owner communicated clearly and often with helpful tips about the home. Just a delightful home and wonderful week in Michigan. I recommend with no reservations or hesitation. Thanks!

Gorgeous views and Great Outdoor Space for the Whole Family!
We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The owner was so gracious in letting our precious dog come with the family. He might have had the best time of all! It accommodated our whole family and allowed the grandparents to join in the fun! The open floor plan with the kitchen and family room allowed big family dinners. We loved the location to all the small towns- lots of good restaurants, shopping and marinas near by! We loved the views from the upper deck during the day but especially the views of Boyne City all lit up across the water at night. There were some decent walking trails and a great public beach right nearby the property in Whiting Park. The only draw back of the house was that the lower-level did not have a bathroom. There are just two very small bathrooms on the top or main level. Other than that- we truly enjoyed our stay at this house. The owner was very responsive too!
We loved this house and location for our family trip. It was perfect for our children to play in the sand, and collect rocks. Larry was wonderful and very responsive. We also enjoyed visiting Boyne and Charlevoix downtown.
This home definitely has a million dollar view that will not disappoint you. Me and my family had a wonderful week here. We spent hours in the back yard at the beach and dock area fishing, rock hunting, swimming and kayaking. We found several petosky stones. The house was a reasonable proximity to all of the places we wanted to visit. We went to Mackinac Island 1 hour 12 minutes away it was awesome! Sleeping bear dune 1 hour 30 minutes it was amazing! If you go there have an amazing sandwich at the shipwreck cafe best sandwiches my family ever ate, Shopping in Charlevoix and Petosky was 30 minutes away both had quaint little shops. We saw Lake Charlevoix, Lake Michigan, Torch Lake, Lake Huron, and all of them were stunning! Thanks Larry for sharing your wonderful home with our family!
Great View, well equipped, just needs some minor tweaks
The star of the show for this rental is the deck and the view, and they do not disappoint.
The railing, while it is great for keeping the view, is swaged cable, no issues for adults or older kids, but I could see it being scary if you have young kids.
The kitchen is well equipped, though typical nitpicks of older rentals apply, pans stick, knives are dull, etc. Paper plates and paper towels were provided which is nice.
The bedrooms are clean and mattresses are good. It seems like maybe Ikea furniture/mattresses. They're not luxurious but they are supportive and I had no issues waking up sore or tired. Fans are provided in the bedrooms which is great.
One odd thing, one day I was out swimming with my daughters and two sketchy looking shirtless dudes just showed up unannounced to work on the lift. It wouldn't have been an issue if it would have been communicated, we weren't using the lift, but it was weird to just have 2 random people just show up. I should have been told they were coming.
Overall we enjoyed our time there and it was one of the better places we have stayed on Charlevoix (we have stayed in 10 or so, and a few of them were very dodgy). That being said, it could stand to get a "deep clean", things like air vents, ceiling fans, etc are caked in dust.
The dock was too short/shallow for us to use with our boat (24' inboard that draws 36") at all. It would be nice if it was 15'-20' longer (as the neighbors are)
Access to the washer/dryer would also be greatly appreciated. 8 people at the lake for a week really need a way to dry things.
