Lake Michigan Waterview Family Retreat - Steps to Beach & Downtown Charlevoix

Great location, really close to a beach and town

We’ve stayed at this home several times now, and it’s become one of our favorite family traditions. It’s the perfect getaway — ideal for families or a small group of friends. The location couldn’t be better: walking distance to everything in town and just a short drive to Petoskey, the Tunnel of the Trees, and so many great spots nearby.Each visit has been a wonderful mix of comfort, convenience, and connection. The home is always clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully set up for guests. We look forward to returning each year — it’s truly a special place that’s become part of our family’s story.

Great house in a wonderful location. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location and house was very clean. Can walk to the beach and downtown Charlevoix. The host was very responsive. Would highly recommend and would definitely come back.

We loved everything about the house. The views, the proximity to downtown, the cleanliness, everything!

The rental is beautiful, well equipped and awesome location. We had a problem with the entrance code one night, we weren't able to contact the host right away but we eventually were able to connect and he was more than helpful and gracious. Very nice man. We did call the VRBO contact center at the time and they were less than helpful, spent an hour on the phone with them, did not get any help and discovered they have no emergency plan in place. Very disappointed in VRBO itself but the host and rental were awesome!!!

Everything you would want in your VRBO! Very Please from all steps of reserving to departure! Nice Job and Thanks!

This place is the most amazing place. The house is very clean, comfortable and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. The location is perfect. We enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the boats go by. The beach is steps away and you can walk to town to enjoy everything Charlevoix has to offer.

Great experience all around, cannot beat the location, we had a wonderful stay and hope to come back.

We had a fantastic trip! The house is in a great location!

Such an incredible place! Amazing location. Right near downtown. Lake views across entire patio. All around amazing.

Very nice home near everything. Would come again!

We had an incredible time in Charlevoix in the Palmer House. The house was relaxing, cozy and just what our family needed. The beds were very comfortable, including the pillows, the baths/showers were great and the kitchen was awesome. The beach chairs and towels made our treks to the beach convenient and relaxing. Mornings and evenings on the front porch rocking chairs helped start and close our days.

Everything about our experience in this beautiful Charlevoix home was five star. The location of the home was very close to downtown with beautiful views of Lake Michigan.

We come here yearly and it is always a fantastic trip! The property meets all of our needs and it is in a fantastic location. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

The house, location, the owner....everything all top notch could not have asked for anything more perfect for our stay! Highy recommend. Place was spotless.

Great stay! Super clean and very beautiful. Owner was prompt in communicating with us when we had an issue with the bathroom but everything else was great :)

Overall we loved it but there were some down sides, especially for us since we were all over 77. We knew there were stairs but these were steep and short in depth. Fine for the young but not us. Since it was warm, fans would have been appreciated. The chairs to the table were uncomfortable to try and do a puzzle or even eat since there were no backs and they were tall. I knew there was probably something between the house and the water since no view was pictured. Indeed, a parking lot. But due to time of year it was mostly empty and was not a distraction. We had never seen that type of keypad before so more instructions would have been helpful. Now the great: the location was fantastic, the porch was so neat to sit on and watch the boats go by, we had a buck and a doe join us on several days, it was quiet and very relaxing. Also a nice neighbor. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Adorable, well stocked, absolutely gorgeous and extremely well situated

We had a big group for a wedding in Charlevoix and this place made the experience extra special. From the location to the quality of the house it gave us a great family memory. We don't travel a lot and Tim made the process very easy. I would definitely go back there again.

We absolutely love the property. We are return visitors and the location allows something for everyone , young and old! house is clean and has all amenities you need, well supplied kitchen, comfortable beds and beach towels for use. thank you for sharing the property with us, we are all sad to leave !!

This house is perfect for a vacation getaway. There is plenty of space and has everything you need. It’s clean and newly updated and furnished. The location makes it especially nice just steps from the beach and a short walk to town. We loved sitting on the front deck watching the boats go by on the channel. Our host was great and quickly responded to any questions.

Palmer House is absolutely beautiful! Clean, well appointed, lots of space and a large porch!!! And, of course, the best location!!! Minutes from beach and town.
