About this house rental
Welcome to the Dune Cottage with incredible views of Lake Michigan and the Beaver Island archipelago. Facing west into every sunset, this fully renovated 3-story cottage was built into the dunes at a time that current regulations prevent. All you see from the large deck is a 230-degree panoramic view of Lake Michigan. We have a private beach, and a 100-yard walk away gives access to 3 miles of unspoiled, remote, protected, undeveloped land!
The cottage includes a new kitchen, appliances, three new bathrooms, lighting, furniture, flooring, and decor. Four bedrooms are spacious enough to host up to 10 guests comfortably. Nestled inside Fisherman's Island State Park, it allows access to 2800 acres of protected land for hiking and hunting in season.
The Dune Cottage is conveniently located just 12 minutes from downtown Charlevoix. Charlevoix boasts a vibrant marina and East Park, unique restaurants, shopping, and a farmers market. There is no better location in Charlevoix. There are many golf course options within a short distance from the cottage. Snow skiing in the winter months is easily accessible as well.
We have been in the weekly rental business for 2 decades and always enjoy sharing our lovely properties with our guests.

We had a wonderful family vacation at the Dune Cottage to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The views were breathtaking and 2 weeks later I’m still missing the beautiful sunsets. We saw lots of wildlife, including two bald eagles who sat by the water for over an hour one morning. We enjoyed walking the quiet beach every day looking for fossils and found a lot of Petosky stones. We had plenty of room for 6 adults. The home is spacious and the kitchen was great. There is no central air conditioning but there is a fan in the ceiling upstairs that did a good job of cutting the humidity. We did take our own beach chairs since they didn’t have any. Check in was easy and the host was available and quickly responded to questions. Washer and dryer worked well. I would go back in a heart beat.

The home has beautiful views and access to Lake Michigan. Everything was clean and there is lots of space inside and out. We would definitely stay again! However, I will mention two things I wish I had paid attention to prior to our stay. I will start by saying both things are included in the listing so this is not a complaint, just clarification. First, although the home is on the water and you definitely have quick access down a dune path to the beach, be aware that the part of the beach directly down the path to the water is highly monitored by the neighbors and you are not allowed to sit or hang out there. We mistakenly thought the chairs at the end to the end of the path belonged to the rental property and we were quickly told we could not use the chairs and we had to leave and move to the far far left or to the right where the shore is very rocky. Not a huge problem for us but might be for families with small children who are looking for a beach day close to the property. Second, being from the south, I mistakenly assumed there would be A/C. When we arrived very late in the evening, the house was closed up and after opening all the windows, it took a few hours to cool down. My mistake but worth mentioning. Again, I'm not complaining, just clarifying. We only stayed 2 nights, but I would definitely stay again and longer!
