About this property

LAKE MICHIGAN 213 FEET OF BEACHFRONT

The home has 213 FEET OF LAKE MICHIGAN WATER FRONTAGE at the mouth of the Grand Traverse Bay. The vaulted ceiling Great Room is a perfect place to relax and enjoy all the beauty of Nature with 180 degree view of the Bay. Sunsets every single night of the year! The home overlooks the Leelanau Peninsula and the Fox Islands. At night you can see the light house at Leelanau State Park flickering in the distance. The Petoskey Stone Fireplace is a touch of "Up North" charm for you to examine in case you don't find any on our own stretch of beach.

The kitchen has gas stove, counter depth fridge, Kitchen Aid mixer, quartz countertops and and 8 ft island to prep meals. It has a four seater barstool area and overlooks the dining room and Great Room.

Bedrooms have linens, quilts and closets. Every room has a view of the lake so you can wake up and your mind can start wandering outside.

The home is located in the quaint village of Norwood, just 8 miles south of Charlevoix and 45 minutes north of Traverse City. You can get to Mackinac Island, a plethora of golf courses, fruit stands, wineries, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Castle Farms within an hours drive!

Just one flight of stairs and you are on the beach! Our 213 foot beach has mostly sand and a few rocks and is very private. The water is crystal blue and nature is at its best. The home is located on a secluded, dead end road which offers some of the finest views for casual walks and wildlife viewing. Bald eagles, loons, swans, and hawks are seen daily! There is a county park a half mile north which connects to Fisherman's Island State Park. There is a wooded lot (which we also own) north of the house which adds to your privacy and buffers your from neighbors. If you are a boater, you can drop in your boat at various launch sites in Lake Charlevoix, Torch Lake or 1/4 mile down the road at the Norwood Park (for Lake Michigan boating).

The home has four queen bedrooms, sleeping loft with two twin beds and finished basement also with two twin beds. There is a main floor oversized bathroom and also a brand new large bathroom in the basement.

There is a solid pine picnic table and deck set, Anti-Gravity Chairs, charcoal grill for outdoors and a foosball table in the basement rec room. Also Cornhole, and Ladderball for outside gaming.

OUTDOOR HOT WATER SHOWER on the beach makes rinsing off from the beach (or taking a morning shower!) very convenient and unique. Numerous renters (and ourselves) have showered and seen the local bald eagles flying by for their morning meal. A peaceful, unbelievable experience...

There are so many things to do closeby: shopping, boating, plenty of excellent golf courses, or just relax in the hammock and listen to the water lap up on shore! Come and enjoy northern Michigan at its finest.

Beautiful stay! Lovely home

We enjoyed a long weekend stay at the home which was perfect in size and space for our family of 9, comfThe sunsets all nights we were there were amazing. The beach is lovely, though rocky in the water. Bring water shoes if you want to swim It was private, relaxing and the kitchen was well appointed. (The dishwasher was broken so that made for a lot of dishwashing as we ate our meals at home. She apologized, but I specifically rented a place with a dishwasher Couple irritating things. Detached garage was full of trash from previous guests. No beach towels at the beach house. Luckily, we brought some. TV was old and tiny. Not what one would expect for such a lovely and expensive rental.

Beautiful house with a great view

The house if beautiful, close to the beach with direct access, well stocked with things like towels for showers, blankets on the beds, pillows. There were plenty of fans for the rooms since there is no air conditioning, we brought extra our own as well. The only down side was the fruit flies.

We had an incredible time together as a family at this vacation home on Lake Michigan. Everything was great and all of us were able to just relax and enjoy the beach / views. The home and property were exactly as they were shown in the images.

Beautiful view

It is a beautiful house and the view. We really enjoyed staying there good location. Was pretty windy when we was there so didn’t get to enjoy sitting out by the lake. We went up there for my niece wedding at castle farm. But if we get a chance to go up there again, we would rent the house again. Can’t say enough about the view.

Magical week!

We had the perfect family reunion (8 adults, 2 children) at this beautiful house. Work-horse of a kitchen, a living room with those amazing sunset views (!!!), comfy bedrooms, fun backyard, and the private beach! Truly can’t say enough. And Carrie is a perfect host — warm, responsive, just great. We would come back here in a heartbeat. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great stay

We booked this house as a last minute family vacation. Carrie, the owner, could not have been more helpful with suggestions and advice. She was always quick to respond to any of my emails and texts. The property was perfect for our small family of 4. Two boys, 5 and 3. We spent every morning and evening on the beach. The beach toys in the shed were perfect. We searched for Petosky stokes, make rock castles and watched the sunsets. The house is located in a darling little neighborhood, 15 mins to downtown Charlevoix, and 50 mins to Traverse City. We took advantage of the location and went on daily Michigan adventures. The house was very clean, the kitchen had everything we needed. I was worried about no air conditioning but the basement stayed cool so we slept down there. Had we slept upstairs we would have had to use the fans. Overall, I recommend this property to all ages. It’s like a secret slice of heaven.

Peaceful week away with amazing sunsets!

The location was perfect for our needs, quiet enough to be peaceful but close enough to easily explore the town and other activities. Property was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay! Tons of nearby places to explore and enjoy. The sunsets over the lake were amazing!

Beautiful Views

We had a lovely stay at the house. The views are incredible - waves and sunsets. We spent lots of time looking for Petoskey stones and admiring the unusual rocks on the beach. There were plenty of rooms for our family gathering and lots of room in the common areas for us all to relax, play games and eat together. The street was fairly quiet and we were able to walk and bike to explore the area. But Charlevoix is so close for dining and shopping needs. We hope to stay here again.

Amazing location - Best Petoskey stone beach ever!

The highlight of this property is the view from the very comfortable living room (big table that fits everyone, nice couches and chairs, huge windows looking at Lake Michigan) and the yard and beach! We walked on the beach every morning, evening and a couple of times in between most days on successful hunts for cool rocks, especially Petoskey stones, which we found every time.

My friends and I are so grateful to have found this home to stay at for a girls weekend away. The location was perfect for us, and we loved that the house was right on the water. The house was very clean and had so much space for all of us. The property manager was very helpful with the process and very friendly and quick to respond to any and all questions.

About the host

Hosted by Carrie

Host profile image
We are a family who loves Northern Michigan.

Why they chose this property

We LOVE to spend time relaxing on the 'big lake' with family and friends. We have extensive family in the area and know it is the spot we want to be in when we retire. Nothing beats a sunset over Lake Michigan with your loved ones sitting beside you!

What makes this property unique

We have a gorgeous view of the lake including a wooded lot so you won't encounter many neighbors. We have made our home unique and comfortable by having a grill, solid pine patio furniture, outdoor beach shower, wifi, finished basement, and a large renovated bathrooms for our guests. The close proximity to town is nice but also great to be away from it too.
