Lake Charlevoix Sanctuary · 205' Lakefront · Private Dock · Panoramic Lake Views

We had a wonderful week on the lake to escape the Texas heat in August. The house was beautiful along with the landscaping and lake views. Kitchen was well equipped. We had 5 grandchildren with us from ages 3 months to 3 years. Just know that you will have to bring or rent anything needed for infants. We also have an adult handicapped son and one reason we rented this house was that it said it had an elevator. Sadly there is not one. There is also not a hot tub/spa that is also listed as an amenity Owner thinks the whirlpool bathtub is the same thing I guess-even though it’s listed under “Pool & Spa”. When brought to her attention she said she would have the listing corrected, but as of today (Oct 22) it is still listed as such. Also note that the bunk beds are in the basement and there is no bathroom on that floor. Location is great and lots of places to visit within an hours drive. Flying into Traverse City was an easy drive to the house. Would recommend this house despite the lack of listed amenities

A Perfect Lakefront Getaway for All Ages – Rain or Shine!We’ve stayed in many rentals over the years, but this home on Lake Charlevoix stands in a class of its own. It’s more than a lake house—it’s a beautifully remodeled mansion that strikes the perfect balance between luxury and comfort. Every corner of the property has been thoughtfully designed for relaxation and fun.The outdoor space is exceptional: a private bocce court, a massive sandbox that kept the kids entertained for hours, and a cozy firepit where we ended each night with s’mores and stories. Inside, there's just as much to love. On rainy days, we played ping pong, pool, and board games without ever feeling cooped up. The home is stocked with activities for all ages, from toddlers to grandparents.The kitchen was fully equipped, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the views of the lake were simply stunning. You can tell this is a place that’s not just rented—it’s cherished. We left feeling completely recharged and already dreaming about coming back.Highly, highly recommend!

Belle et Paisible lives up to its name in every way. This upscale home is spacious and immaculately maintained, with beautiful views of Lake Charlevoix. It is close to Charlevoix, and a short drive from Petosky, Harbor Springs, and the ferry to Mackinac Island. Our family gets together annually in the summer, and this is definitely a property we would consider returning to. Carine is a wonderful host and responded promptly to any questions we had. My only suggestion would be to amend the VRBO listing to not call the jacuzzi in the master suite a hot tub. Adding an actual hot tub would be a nice touch.

Belle et Passible is, in fact, beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly appointed for a large or multiple families. The property is impeccably maintained, inside and out, and has everything you need for a wonderful weekend at the lake!The house is a very short 5 min drive from downtown Charlevoix, and served our two families perfectly as a home base for the weekend.I would highly suggest a stay at this property if it is available to you!
