Charming Cottage On Lake Michigan, Beautiful Sunsets and Close To Charlevoix!

ABOUT THE RENTAL
This lovely vintage log cabin, built in the 1920s, combines ambiance, location, spectacular views, and modern amenities into an authentic “Up North” vacation experience.  The cottage is located on a bluff overlooking Grand Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan from 200 feet of private shoreline.  Spacious, comfortable, well-appointed rooms retain the original charm of an earlier era while providing features and conveniences that optimize your vacation experience.  (*Fireplace is not included for use in this rental.)While private and peaceful, the central location (about 10 miles south of Charlevoix) is also the gateway to dozens of recreational opportunities and adventures throughout the region.  Petoskey/Harbor Springs, Traverse City, Boyne Falls, the Leelanau Peninsula, and the Mackinac Bridge are all an hour—or less—away.  The true heart of Northern Michigan is waiting for your visit.  

A cozy bedroom is found on the main level with an adjoining bath and laundry which gives sleeping space apart from the upstairs loft bedroom with another adjoining half bath. If you still need to stay connected with work there are two great desk areas in the loft to accommodate for that along with another sleeping nook with a twin bed – perfect for extra guest space or an afternoon nap. If that’s not the space for you, the sitting room at the end of the cottage offers a chase and recliner, perfect for your easel, parchment, or a great book. Put a puzzle together in front of the west window, the romance of the lake in front of you is breathtaking. Birches and cedars add depth to the quiet waters of the evening sunset, or a cushion from the roiling daytime surf. As a bonus, this room can be cordoned off with newly installed barn rail doors giving you complete solitude.

Peace and quiet abound if that is your goal. For your entertainment, phoebes and flycatchers flit among the trees on the lakeside. If it is people, you are looking for, South is Torch Lake and Elk Rapids as you drive to Traverse City; while North is the lakeside town of Charlevoix with a ferry to Beaver Island if you desire to course over the third largest Great Lake. Farm markets, fruit stands, orchards, wineries, and casual or fine dining are all minutes away. But do not be shocked or bedeviled if you decide never to leave the cabin where the birds dance among the cedars. Simply delightful.

Disappointed
While this cabin/lake home has a somewhat rustic charm, it is in desperate need of a deep cleaning. We were disappointed as the cabin didn’t meet our expectations given the rental description. However, on a positive note, the managing company was very communicative.

Privacy. Gorgeous beach, particularly for rock collectors. House was as advertised- homey, comfortable with fantastic views of the lake.

My Lake Michigan dream home!
It was an absolute delight to stay at this beautiful log cabin on Lake Michigan. The house has a lot of character and a truly serene view of the lake. It was so nice to open the windows, let the cool breeze come through, and listen to the waves. It made for excellent sleeping conditions, even in the upstairs bedroom without A/C. Our 5 week old even slept through the whole night! The house is also conveniently located just a few mins from Biers and Lost Cellars, and 15 mins from downtown Charlevoix. There’s plenty to do in the area, but I wish we had stayed several more days just to enjoy the home.
