Private Lakefront House: Fish, Kayak, Pets and EV Charge
Relax with your family at this peaceful private lake located just minutes from Charlevoix. Private dock with canoe, kayaks, paddle boat. Additional fishing boat with gear (available for rent). WATCH OUR VIDEO in the photo gallery of dawn from the balcony.
Expansive lake view from inside this cozy home nestled in by trees on a quiet road. Fully stocked kitchen, large outdoor grill and lakeside fire pit. Kids can have their own TV, gaming and recreation area down in the lower walk out level (including comfortable sleeping accommodations) while parents can enjoy time upstairs which includes the living room, kitchen, bedrooms, main bathroom, dining area and balcony.
Note: We have one security camera that looks out to the driveway and walkway to the front door. While guests occupy the property, it is only in used during departure days and arrival days to help monitor logistics. Nothing is archived. No other cameras exist in the house or side and back yards.
This was such a great spot, and the house had everything we needed to just enjoy ourselves no thinking required! It's a great quiet setting on the lake and you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, but you're just minutes from everywhere you want to go! We absolutely loved it, and we will be back for another stay, hopefully next year!
This was a perfect location! The lake is beautiful and peaceful, and itâs a quick drive into town. The house is in great condition and is very roomy.
Well appointed and clean home with an awesome view of the lake. Great location, just 10 minutes from town but feels like you're a 1000 miles away. Great Hosts!
Super cozy cottage , breathtaking view of the lake!! Enjoyed the patio very much and birdfeeder : never seen so many different types of birds. House itself was very very clean and cozy . Owners thought of literally everything their guests might need , We loved fishing on the lake and the map was super helpful.
It was such a nice location. We were able to just enjoy ourselves. Communication was wonderful and it was so awesome to wake up to beautiful birds. My little one is 2 months and smiled so much hearing the birds.
Lovely cottage style home that has had much thought put into it. Very clean and well appointed and many updates. The pond view is very serene and the whole place forces you to relax! Enjoyed kayaking and hanging out on deck and campfire very much! Loved it! Will be back!
We stayed for a week in the summer. This property had everything that we wanted in a vacation house: lakeside w nice view, grill, boats, TV, wifi. It was only two of us + dogs so there was more than enough space for us.
Getting in the house was easy. The property manager was also very friendly and helpful when we needed assistance.
The property is right on the lake as the pictures indicated and is definitely the best feature of the house. The lake is peaceful and quiet. We had a great time boating around it with our dogs.
The only thing I noticed that could be improved is that we encountered a few spiders in the house. There are some spots on the lower level in the corners that could have been cleaned a little better. Overall though it was a very minor issue.
We would happily stay here again!
Easy 10 min drive from Charlevoix. Quiet, peaceful backyard & deck overlooking East End Lake. Enjoyed the firepit & fluffy towels. Kitchen was well-stocked. 2 Beds in 2 bdrms upstairs were very comfortable. Only negatives were Paddle boat was broken, gaming system not set-up in bsmt, & swimming is not allowed in lake. Not sure why? Water too deep, bottom too mucky, leeches? We took the kids to a great beach in Charlevoix though, after the mushroom house tour (worth the $) & had a great day exploring the town & looking for Petoskey stones. Beautiful library & art gallery. Wanted to use the several kayaks & nice new life jackets, but it stormed hard & had to spend the 2nd night inside. Heard a loon early in the morning. Dog friendly. Nice yard, but hilly in back, so our elderly person with a balance issue couldn't access the backyard due to the terrain. He enjoyed the good TV reception! Many steep stairs to bsmt, but lots of room, laundry, & half bath downstairs with a door to lower patio. Quiet neighbors on either side & trees give lots of privacy. Loved the bird feeders on the top deck!
Christine and I live in Arvada, Colorado with our dog AJ. All three of us love the outdoors as most of us in Colorado do! Christine works in higher education and I work in the engineering field.
We focus much of our energy on helping to love and serve others at work, with friends and family and hosting our private lake front property in Charlevoix, Michigan.
We visited the Traverse City region in June of 2022 and fell in love with the Charlevoix area. We found our âLittle Blue Lake Houseâ and were attracted by the seclusion of the private and quiet East Twin Lake, its proximity to downtown Charlevoix with its restaurants and other attractions, and the short drive to Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix.
Our place has a quiet beauty that immediately captures the eye when you walk through the front door. Stretching out before you are the views of our beautiful lake as seen through our wall of glass doors. The lake has very few houses and even less boats. Trees the property to give comfortable privacy.
The morning brings pastel sunrises over the water, daylight flows softly into the room during the day and a blanket of stars can be seen from the balcony at night. Make lifetime memories with the family at the firepit along the shore as you hear an occasional fish or frog jump.
Watch the ducks and geese in the morning right from our balcony and occasionally see the eagle and the two great herons that live on the lake. If you are fortunate enough, you can watch the moon rise reflected off the water right from your easy chair in the living room. Take the kayak out just before sunset and watch the last light of day fade. Good size bass have been caught on this lake; inquire with us about our fishing boat and gear available for rent.
