About this property
Luxury Lake Michigan Retreat with Unmatched Sunset Views
ABOUT THE RENTAL If the Four Seasons Hotel chain offered a lakefront rental in Michigan, this would be it! Highest quality, full log construction in impeccable condition on Lake Michigan. A newer luxury build, executive level residence with soaring ceilings, massive log beams and rafters, plank floors, and carpeted bedrooms. Take long walks on the beach, just 50 steps from the house, and witness beautiful pink and purple sunsets from this western-facing home. Lake Michigan water levels vary each year, but this frontage usually allows you to walk out almost a quarter mile into the lake before you get waist deep. You get a secluded feeling on this heavily wooded lot, but are just minutes from all conveniences. A wonderful, soothing retreat to get away from all of the stresses back home, but with all conveniences you'd expect in a luxury retreat. You'll enjoy the expansive deck, which is ideal for catching some sun or grilling out, also the perfect place for an evening cocktail. The great room offers plenty of seating, a massive stone, wood-burning fireplace, and views of Lake Michigan. For entertainment, there is cable, Smart TVs, BluRay Player with a movie library, board games, whole house music system, and WiFi. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped and has top-of-the-line appliances, including a Sub-Zero dual zone wine fridge, for your perfect temperature reds and whites. The spacious primary suite features a sitting area, king bed, private patio, lake views, gas fireplace, and bath with a dual vanity, soaking tub, and tiled shower. The two guest rooms each have a queen-size bed (one offering lake views) and all bedrooms have down comforters and pillows. The sun room has a beautiful stone, wood-burning fireplace, great for cooler evenings, and a full-size sofa bed for additional sleeping accommodations. End your evenings gathered around the firepit to enjoy s'mores and the sound of the Lake Michigan waves!

I stayed at this cabin for only three nights. 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.

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.
Beautiful place to stay. Everything was perfect. Definitely looking forward to getting to stay here again soon!

My family and I stayed in this beautiful home on the shores of Lake Michigan. It had everything you needed and wanted in a relaxing vacation. The sunsets on Lake Michigan are spectacular. I hope to rent this place again in the future!
This lovely rental offered a place for my growing family yto spend time together. The amazing views, the sunrise and sunset, and the spacious retreat cabin were top notch!
Spent a fall weekend with some friends at this beautiful log cabin. It definitely did not disappoint. Plenty of room for 3 couples and great location to get to DT Charlevoix and Petosky for some great fall viewing!
Beautiful, spacious, comfortable and well located cabin. Equipped with all the necessary tools to have a great vacation. Lake in that location is gorgeous. Not far from downtown area, plenty of wildlife to see, neighbors are really nice and friendly.Would be nice to have a ping pong or a pool table
We very much enjoyed our time at this home. It is a beautiful property with stunning views and amazing amenities. We loved the central location which made it easy for us to explore many different areas. of northern Michigan. The peaceful setting was just what we were looking for and we plan on returning in the future. Thank you for a great experience.
My family absolutely loved this house! It was large enough for all of us to gather and not feel like we were crowded. The kitchen was the perfect size for my mom and I do put together a meal and not be bumping into each other constantly. We are already talking about booking this property again in the future!
My friends and family loved our stay here. So big and cozy at the same time. The lake views and sunsets were amazing. The place was very clean and pretty much had everything we needed. My only issue would be the beds - they were a little on the hard side for everyone in the house. Was not a deal breaker and we would stay here again!

Our stay at this home was absolutely incredible. The house is spacious, quiet, and beautifully situated right on Lake Michigan. The views are breathtaking—sunsets over the water that no picture or description could ever truly capture.Inside, everything was clean, comfortable, and designed for relaxation. It felt private and peaceful, yet close enough to enjoy everything Charlevoix has to offer. Whether sitting outside with the lake breeze or enjoying the cozy interior, every moment was unforgettable.If you’re looking for a place that combines serenity, scenery, and comfort, this home is truly perfect. We can’t recommend it highly enough—it’s the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave.
