Up North Cabin on Lake Charlevoix

Nice beach area. Good location. Lots of water toys included.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week on Lake Charlevoix! This cottage is very spacious, plenty of seating inside and out, well stocked kitchen, very comfortable beds, plus a basket of toiletries and other necessities in case you forget them from home.

This was a wonderful experience for me, my spouse and our 3 couple friends. The check-in process was very easy. The property manager reached out before we arrived to ensure we had everything we needed before we arrived. The property was very clean and the amenities were fantastic. Would highly recommend this property. The only reason I'd give it 4 stars out of 5 is that there's a window in the shower of the master bathroom that does not have any shade or privacy protection. The window faces the woods so its unlikely anyone could see someone showering from far away, but the wraparound deck goes right by this window so we had to tell our friends they wouldnt be able to walk all around the deck if someone was in this main floor shower.

The accommodations were perfect; easy in and easy out. Lake toys were a plus. Will definitely book again. J

We stayed at this amazing property in July of 2024 with our extended family. We loved the layout of the house and the boardwalk to the beach/dock. The Lilly pad and paddleboard were nice perks to use. The sitting area/deck on the water with the solo stove was a nice touch too. Inside we found plenty of space to spread out and relax. The internet was fast with many smart TVs available. The kitchen is a bit cramped but is fully stocked with everything needed to cook meals. Overall a great stay

This is the second year in a row that we rented this cabin and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay again. The weather was not cooperative, so we spent more time inside the cabin and we had planned, but given how ring me it is, it was just fine. I appreciate if they got the swim pad because that was a lot of fun for the kids this year. Rented kayaks down in Boyne and so we had those for most of our stay which was fun. Highly recommend this cabin, it is a great location and very clear. As I said, in my other review, it’s not necessarily the fanciest of cabins but it’s really clean and has lots of room and great views and is on great property. The owner is really responsive and nice. As is the property manager.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with family and friends at this unique cottage. The layout allowed our group of 9 (4 adults & 5 kids) to spread out while still having a main common area to play games at night. Smores at the awesome fire pit were a hit. But the highlight is the private beach area and easy water access. We even snuck across the street for a round of 9 holes of golf a couple of times. We would definitely stay here again if we are back in the area!

We had a blast. Great view down by water. Perfect place for a group. We had 9 and never felt crowded.

We rent up in the Petoskey/ Charlevoix/ Harbor Springs area each summer so we have a lot of experience with different rental properties. This one was really great, particularly the location. It definitely has a great ‘cabin on the lake in the woods’ feel but is only about a 5 minute drive to downtown Boyne. In addition, the main ‘pros’ that stood out to us include: perfectly clear water for swimming (some rocks in the first few feet but no muck, no vegetation); two ‘sitting areas’ outside (one campfire area closer to the cabin and a second on a nice wood ‘deck/platform’ at the shore); things seemed ‘clean’…not necessarily new or super fancy but clean in a way a lot of rentals aren’t); quiet surroundings (no noise from neighboring properties); and as another reviewer noted…there is plenty of space to accommodate people who may not always want to be on top of each other. Only a few small ‘cons’ (if you can call them that): the spiral staircase felt more ‘death-defying’ than I imagined….likely just me, and it DID dissipate a bit with time, but I found them a little dicey to manage; small kitchen (as others already noted) but that was ok for us; no ‘yard’ (grassy area to set up badminton or volleyball, etc); no water crafts / toy type stuff (which may have been in the description and we just missed it). Overall, we had a fantastic time and will likely rent again next summer!! Owner and property manager were both friendly and responsive. We bought a new butcher block knife set as our ‘thank you / hostess gift’ so for anyone who rents this cabin in the future, rest assured there is a nice set of knives (a personal ‘must have’ for us :)).

Great home for sharing with 3 families! It could have been a little closer to the lake but overall a great stay!
