About this property

Lake Michigan Getaway

Five bedroom newly remodeled contemporary vacation home located on a private country road along the shoreline of Lake Michigan.
Watch spectacular sunsets while listening to the gentle waves at night. Relax on the huge deck on your cushioned chaise lounges. Gather under the umbrella table for family meals. Go kayacking and paddle boarding or play horseshoes or enjoy a bonfire and watch the starry sky.
Bike or hike the private road and walk miles of shoreline. Grab your clubs and go golfing at Antrim Dells. Go in to Charlevoix for an ice cream from Kilwins or just to get some taffy. Make memories you will treasure forever.

This property is wonderfully located right on Lake Michigan. It is about 12 miles south of Charlevoix with no nearby eating establishment but the setting is so great that the extra effort is worthwhile. We highly recommend this property.

Jennifer is an amazing host down to minutiae details for your stay. She followed up with us the next day to see if we need anything else or if we had any questions regarding local places to shop or eat.

The phrase I would use to describe everything about this place is “High Quality”. The view of the lake is spectacular….. movie worthy. The room is impressive. Enough room to truly enjoy your stay. Perfect size bathroom and kitchenette. All amenities, from the cable/internet, to the soaps and coffee, are all high quality. It’s private and the parking couldn’t get any better. Truly a 5 star experience.

I can’t say enough positive things about Jennifers beautiful room. You can’t go wrong staying here. It was very private, the view was stunning, and the room was perfect for our needs. It was clean, tastefully decorated, spacious, modern, and had so many extra touches to make our stay comfortable. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in! Jennifer provided great communication and was an excellent host. We look forward to many return visits!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Belanger

Host profile image
My parents bought 100 feet of lakefront on Lake Michigan back in the 60’s. It took 10 years to clear the land and get a house started. Since that time my family has had 3 remodels and added a huge custom deck and had to redo the shoreline when the water levels were so high. We enjoy working on the gardens and enjoy sharing this little slice of heaven with others.

Why they chose this property

Dirt road and heavily wooded allowing you to see a lot of wildlife. The beauty of looking out over the lake and everyday and seeing waves or calm water or storms blowing in. The Lake is constantly changing.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful sunsets
Wrap around huge deck
Fire pit
Horseshoes
Biking
Kayaking
Paddle boarding
Beautiful landscaping
