ABOUT THE RENTAL
Welcome to a truly unique escape in Northern Michigan, where timeless craftsmanship and modern luxury converge. This magnificent full-log home is a masterclass in design and comfort, showcasing towering log beams, dramatic vaulted ceilings, and expansive lake-facing windows. At its heart is a newly renovated chef’s kitchen with top-of-the-line Sub-Zero refrigeration and Wolf appliances—perfect for preparing gourmet meals while taking in sweeping views of Lake Michigan.

Step outside to discover multiple spaces designed for relaxation and connection with nature: two spacious lakefront porches ideal for lounging or dining al fresco, and a charming waterfront deck nestled along the shoreline—perfect for soaking in the panoramic views of Lake Michigan. Each evening, be captivated by breathtaking west-facing sunsets that light up the sky over the open water—one of the many unforgettable moments this home offers.

Inside, enjoy cozy evenings around one of three beautifully crafted fireplaces, or gather beneath the stars at the outdoor firepit with unlimited cord wood provided. The lake-facing sunroom features its own natural fireplace, perfect for reading, relaxing, or enjoying a quiet morning coffee. Unwind in the oversized soaking tub in the Master Suite while listening to your favorite music through the whole-house sound system.

Modern comforts abound, including Unifi high-speed internet, smart TVs throughout, intuitive smart lighting, and a curated Blu-ray collection for movie nights. Even the water is thoughtfully considered—drink crisp, clean water from the home’s natural artesian spring well, complete with a reverse-osmosis purification system.

This private haven is tucked into peaceful woodland surroundings, just minutes from downtown Charlevoix. Explore the charm of local breweries and wineries, indulge in farm-fresh produce and seasonal you-pick experiences, or spend your days hiking scenic trails and relaxing on pristine beaches. Whether you seek peaceful solitude or vibrant gatherings with loved ones, this extraordinary lakeside lodge offers the perfect setting for both.

    Beautiful cottage with beautiful views of the lake. Not a ton of sandy shore for playing but our kids enjoyed swimming in the water regardless!

I can say that the cabin is really cool, the location on the shore of Lake Michigan, and everything inside it is truly superb. This is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy time with family or friends. You can watch the sunset from the porch or the deck. A great view of the lake Michgan.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage is in an excellent location with amazing sunsets over Lake Michigan. The sofas are worn and need to be updated. The Weber grill was in poor condition when we arrived with old food on the grill and an empty propane bottle. The freezer has a maintenance warning light and needs immediate repair.
