About this property

Nature's Nook - Hot Tub! - walk to Lake Michigan!

Summer 2025 dates open - June & August 4 night minimum. July Saturday-Saturday rentals.
Nestled on the edge of North Point Nature Preserve and Mt. McSauba, you will LOVE the location of Nature's Nook. This year round getaway is fully equipped to provide a comfortable and relaxing stay. Right across the street is a trail to Lake Michigan sand dunes and one of Charlevoix's most beloved beaches (parking for the beach is across the street from the house - it's approximately a 2 block walk over dunes from our front door to the water). Feel free to make use of the beach chairs and toys you'll find in the garage! Explore the nature trails right out the front door, play on the dunes, and take a dip in Lake Michigan!

Less than 2 miles from town, you can bike, walk or drive in to enjoy shops, restaurants, and watch the drawbridge rise. Enjoy all the festivals and summer celebrations in Charlevoix, or take an easy drive to Boyne or Petoskey! Easy access to all the area golf courses, and only a short drive to Castle Farms or Pond Hill Farms.

Leaf peepers will love the splendor of the fall colors just outside your door at the nature preserve, or can take a short drive through the Tunnel of Trees. Snow bunnies can enjoy all that Mt. McSauba has to offer - one of the top 3 small ski areas in the U.S. as determined by Ski Magazine! Skiing, snow shoeing, sledding hills, cross country ski trails, and an ice rink - all right across the street! Only 30 minutes to the slopes at Boyne Mountain (Boyne City) or Boyne Highlands (Harbor Springs).

Stay with us at Nature's Nook and see why the North side of Charlevoix is the favorite of the locals!

The main floor features an open floor plan with living room, dining room, breakfast nook, and a beautiful, fully updated kitchen. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need if you want to make your own meals, traditional coffee maker and a keurig. The master bedroom is on the main floor along with one full bathroom and laundry. Upstairs is a full bathroom as well as 2 additional bedrooms. A separate ensuite is conveniently located on the main floor through a private entrance off the garage, including a bedroom with a king size bed and a beautiful, modern full bathroom with a walk in shower. Televisions provide streaming capabilities so you can login to your own accounts on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. A secluded wrap around deck provides the perfect spot to relax, soak in the hot tub, or use the Weber grill. After watching the sunset on Lake Michigan, it's only a short stroll back to the house to enjoy a bonfire or a dip in the hot tub. The house is air conditioned to provide comfort on the hottest days. Hot tub is professionally cleaned and serviced by a spa service technician every week. Cozy fireplace, as well as a selection of games, books, puzzles and dvds for those who want to stay in!

Pack and Play and umbrella stroller available for use.

Perfect home, in a perfect area for family gatherings

This beautiful home nestled in a quiet neighborhood is located near everything that makes northern Michigan the special place that it is. The host has made sure the home is well stocked in all ways. The kitchen is fully equipped which made preparing meals so easy. The host provides excellent communication and is attentive to details. I highly recommend this property. Lake Michigan is a block away, a small area ski hill is nearby and there are many great waking trails to explore. explore.trails.wakingskverything

Weekend trip

We had a great time staying at your property. It was ideal with the separated bedrooms and bathrooms, made it easy to stay there with 7 adults. The house is really nicely equipped with everything you need. Would come again, since this is really a nice area in general.

Great home, great location

Two families, 5 kids total 11 and under. The home was wonderful. The quiet neighborhood and proximity to Mt. McSauba recreation area made this a perfect stay for us. We loved the beach time. We loved the walks through the woods. We loved the lack of crowds. The kids could play and scooter through the neighborhood with little worry of cars. A great place for a family vacation.

Perfect!

We stayed here to go skiing with the family and also celebrate a milestone birthday. The host was super helpful before our stay and very helpful with any questions I had. The house was so nice and equipped with everything we needed. The hot tub was the main reason I booked this stay- it didn’t disappoint! But we loved the location also. We would definitely recommend!

Excellent location and great place to stay!

The location of this cottage was a quick drive to downtown, walking distance to a beautiful beach at McSauba. The living room area looked larger in the picture on the website, but it was large enough for all of us. Beds were comfortable, the back porch/yard area were great for the kids to play. We would definitely return! Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderful Getaway

Staying here was a very positive experience for my family and me. The home was equipped with much more than the bare essentials. The home had a full kitchen with everything you needed to make meals, beach equipment and toys, and plenty of games/books/movies for the kids. The location of the home is within an hour(ish) of top attractions like Traverse City, Mackinac Island, Petoskey, and more. The host was quick to respond and made check-in very simple. Would highly recommend.

Just what we needed.

The house was a perfect spot for the Castle Farms wedding we attended. Really appreciated the kitchen countertops!!! So much room to spread out. It was also nice to have the attached room. My nephew was able to have his own entrance and bathroom. Note: The ensuite can be accessed either from the outside or through the garage. My only negative was the amount of leaves while getting in. Granted, it was fall, but the pile to the front door was WAY too much.
