About this house rental
Welcome to your Lake Charlevoix retreat
This lake home is the perfect Northern Michigan getaway for families looking to relax, reconnect, and make lasting memories. Tucked into a private, wooded setting overlooking the South Arm of Lake Charlevoix, the home blends historic charm with modern comfort. Originally built over 100 years ago, it has been thoughtfully expanded to accommodate today’s families. Be sure to check out the framed photo inside showing what the home looked like back in 1922.
The main level offers plenty of space to gather, with two queen bedrooms, two living rooms separated by a shared fireplace, and two dining areas. The spacious kitchen is fully updated with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and two dining islands. There’s also a snack and coffee bar with a beverage refrigerator, perfect for easy mornings and afternoons. Most TVs in the home are smart TVs, and complimentary Wi-Fi is included.
Upstairs, you’ll find three additional bedrooms, including the primary suite with a king bed, full bathroom, and walk-out balcony. The remaining rooms include a bunk room for kids and a bedroom with two queen beds, making it easy to accommodate larger groups.
Outside, you’ll have access to a private dock that’s great for fishing and large enough to accommodate a 21-foot boat. A launch ramp is located at the end of the street, and South Arm Marina is just a short drive away.
The private beach is ideal for all ages. Younger guests can enjoy a shallow, sandy swimming area, while deeper water begins farther out past the dock. It’s a great setup for both swimming and fishing.
The South Arm of Lake Charlevoix is known for its warmer, sandy-bottom waters, making it one of the best spots on the lake for swimming and water sports. The quiet, wooded setting also offers frequent wildlife sightings and a peaceful break from busier areas. Pets are welcome with a non-refundable fee (charged separately if booking through a third party).
Local Events & Activities
In the summer, don’t miss East Jordan’s Freedom Festival, known for one of the best fireworks displays on Lake Charlevoix—easily enjoyed right from the beach or dock with a cozy fire and s’mores.
Head to Boyne City on Friday evenings for Stroll the Streets, featuring live music, family activities, and a fun small-town atmosphere.
For outdoor adventure, explore the Jordan Valley Trail System for hiking and biking, or spend a day on the Jordan River kayaking, canoeing, or fishing.
You’re just minutes from downtown East Jordan and less than 10 miles from Boyne City. In the winter, Boyne Mountain Resort is only 15 miles away, offering skiing, snowshoeing, and more. Golfers will also find several well-known courses nearby, including options at Boyne Mountain, Boyne Highlands, and Bay Harbor.
Fall is especially beautiful here, with vibrant foliage and scenic views perfect for hiking or simply taking in the season.
For a day trip, Mackinac City is about an hour away. From there, you can cross the Mackinac Bridge into the Upper Peninsula or catch a ferry to Mackinac Island for a step back in time.
Whether you’re here for lake days, outdoor adventure, or quiet evenings by the fire, this home offers a comfortable and memorable Northern Michigan experience.
PLEASE NOTE: 4 wheel drive is strongly suggested in the winter months- this home has a very steep long driveway.
*Pet friendly with a non-refundable fee. Small dogs only please.

We enjoyed the size and set up of this rental for our large family vacation. Plenty of room and sleeping accommodations for our group of 11. Liked the cabin vibes and beautiful setting on calmer South Arm of the lake with terrific private beach and sunset views. Had a maintenance issue but property management resolved promptly. We brought a boat and it was difficult to dock on this pier. Very shallow around pier and no cleats to tie up. There is a lift, but very old, small. Also had to spend some time cleaning outdoor furniture on the deck and chairs near beach before we could use. Overall we had a great week.

Our family of 8 had a marvelous time in this magical setting. Our adult kids rated this vacation a 10/10. The rental was clean, spacious and beautifully appointed. As the Mom, what I also appreciated was having a variety of spaces for gathering and quiet reading time . . . plenty of spaces in our togetherness. The large kitchen accommodated multiple people beautifully. More than anything we loved the sandy beach, swimming by the dock, time gathered around the table on the deck and the campfire. With enough comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms for all, this venue worked great for our group! We would love to book it again for next year.

Reviewer Comments:
The interior of the home was clean, but the outside is cluttered with items and the sun deck is in poor condition. The grounds had not been cleaned for what looked like a long time and spider webs were all over. The home is outfitted with an assortment of mis-fit, damaged and left-over cottage items. The kitchen lacks adequate pots and pans, a toaster, sharp knives, and is a collection of garage-sale items. The freezer overflowed and did not make ice (management addressed), and the bedrooms rooms lack blinds or curtains. Based on the pictures, I expected a high-quality home which this is not.This has a nice beach with a raft which is great for swimming, but it is just a big cottage that sleeps a lot of people. The beds, linens and towels were fine, but this is an old cottage with left over furniture and not a high-end rental that I expected from the price.
