Belle et Passible is, in fact, beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly appointed for a large or multiple families. The property is impeccably maintained, inside and out, and has everything you need for a wonderful weekend at the lake!The house is a very short 5 min drive from downtown Charlevoix, and served our two families perfectly as a home base for the weekend.I would highly suggest a stay at this property if it is available to you!
Belle et Paisible lives up to its name in every way. This upscale home is spacious and immaculately maintained, with beautiful views of Lake Charlevoix. It is close to Charlevoix, and a short drive from Petosky, Harbor Springs, and the ferry to Mackinac Island. Our family gets together annually in the summer, and this is definitely a property we would consider returning to. Carine is a wonderful host and responded promptly to any questions we had. My only suggestion would be to amend the VRBO listing to not call the jacuzzi in the master suite a hot tub. Adding an actual hot tub would be a nice touch.
A Perfect Lakefront Getaway for All Ages â Rain or Shine!Weâve stayed in many rentals over the years, but this home on Lake Charlevoix stands in a class of its own. Itâs more than a lake houseâitâs a beautifully remodeled mansion that strikes the perfect balance between luxury and comfort. Every corner of the property has been thoughtfully designed for relaxation and fun.The outdoor space is exceptional: a private bocce court, a massive sandbox that kept the kids entertained for hours, and a cozy firepit where we ended each night with sâmores and stories. Inside, there's just as much to love. On rainy days, we played ping pong, pool, and board games without ever feeling cooped up. The home is stocked with activities for all ages, from toddlers to grandparents.The kitchen was fully equipped, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the views of the lake were simply stunning. You can tell this is a place thatâs not just rentedâitâs cherished. We left feeling completely recharged and already dreaming about coming back.Highly, highly recommend!
We had a fabulous week long stay
Beautiful views of Lake Charlevoix
Large family gathering and we had plenty of room in the home and in the back yard and porch and lake shore
Was able to use the boat lift for our speed boat and thus used it every day
Loved the sandy beach for the grandkids and the fire pit for evening sâmores
Easy access to golf courses and downtown and the public beaches on Lake Charlevoix and Michigan
Did lots of dinners in the kitchen and used the bbq grill
Love the large table on the back porch overlooking the lake
Our family had a great time. The property is stunning and was perfect for our family. The home is beautiful and very clean, and of course the lake is amazing! We had a great time and would recommend this house. All in all a perfect vacation
Our family had the most fantastic time, the property was in a great location, was everything we hoped for and right on the water. Paradise â€ïž especially with
little ones .
Everything was perfect for our family vacation! Excellent location, beautiful setting with outstanding views of Lake Charlevoix, and a beautifully updated home. It was much better than I had expected in a rental and I wouldnât hesitate to book it again in the future!
We had a wonderful vacation week on Lake Charlevoix with our family. The Beautiful and Peaceful home was magnificent. Thank you Carine! Only wished we could stay longer.
Beautiful Lake Home on the Best Side of Lake Charlevoix
Gorgeous place, beautiful setting right on the water and Carine was a great communicator, always facilitating. She even arranged perfect weather for us in early September!
We had an awesome time.
We had a magical time in Charlevoix at this beautiful home. We gathered with grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. The house was in impeccable condition. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we need to cook for a family. The views of Lake Charlevoix and the beautiful lawn and bocce ball pit were all just perfect. Carine our host was so helpful answering our questions and making recommendations for places to go. I highly recommend this vacation home!
Beautiful home with every amenity! Our family just enjoyed a return visit to Belle et Paisible. Carineâs home is perfect for our annual family vacation in Charlevoix. We have rented other nice properties in Charlevoix but nothing as nice as Belle et Paisible. The best!!!
Property was as listed online. Host was prompt in her response. The property was nice for our family of 8 adults and 4 children. Thank you Carine for a beautiful setting.
This house and property are just ideal for a large family. We had all ages and it allowed everyone their own space and the yard was absolutely beautiful. Very close to Charlevoix, easy to get everywhere. Carine was absolutely wonderful to communicate with, she always responded quickly to any questions we had. Would certainly recommend and we hope to come back!
We had an amazing experience. The house was perfect. Even more beautiful than described. Every inch was thought out and everything we needed was provided. Great communication with host during our stay and we could not have imagined a better experience. A+++
I would not recommend. I have a service dog due to a medical condition and I was not allowed to keep her onsite with me. I ended up having to leave 2 days into my stay. She continually had her property manager spying on me and was constantly checking the cameras. This made for a very uncomfortable stay and negative experience overall.
Our family came for a relaxing, fun week before a big college send-off. We were not disappointed. The house was really a Home that has been lovingly thought out with ease, comfort & fun! Plenty of room for our group that consisted of 3 adults & a bunch of teens. Kids loved the big yard to play games, swimming & rock finding.
We rented a pontoon boat, which was too big to dock but easily tied to a mooring. Boat rented from Boyne Water Sports & it came with an easy to use clip for the buoy.
The Friday Checkin was nice bc we could go to the Boyne Farmers Market Saturday morningâŠhighly recommend! Set your week up with fresh food & flowers! Charlevoix has a farmers market Thursdays, not as big but still good.
In between cruising the lake we went to Petoskey (shopped & ate lunch at Symons General Store) & Harbor Springs (lunch at Turkeys). Picked up pizza one night & hit the beach in Charlevoix to look for rocks & watch the sunset.
It was a wonderful week with perfect weather & an amazing house. Everything was clean. Beds were comfy.
Beautiful home & spectacular views! This home has everything you will need. The location is minutes to downtown Charlevoix. The communication with the owners was pleasant & timely. We had an amazing time!! We would definitely stay here again.
Finally a house that lives up to itâs advertised pictures!
Our group was 2 families with 4 total kids, all under 4 years old. The house is set up perfect for 2-3 families. Plenty of bedrooms and privacy but 2 large common areas- including a huge basement for the kids to play.
Our kids loved the HUGE back yard on the water and the giant sandbox. We all enjoyed the great firepit set up. Also nice that the house has a mooring ball set up for a boat to hook up.
Thanks to our hosts for thinking through all the details when they redid the house.
For anyone trying to decide this house vs. another one on Charlevioux- this is the one!
We love traveling and exploring and that how we found this unique property. We enjoy downtown Charlevoix, the water activities and all the surrounding restaurants.
To transition to that vacation peaceful feeling, it will take place instantly when you walk in the front door and look out the windows of the stunning views of beautiful Lake Charlevoix.
