About this property

Ironton Shore Farms: 4 Bedroom Farmhouse on Lake Charlevoix with Beach and dock

Enjoy the breathtaking views of Lake Charlevoix and the Ironton narrows from your own private beach/lake access and sun deck. On Bring your boat, the private dock and mooring ball are included. Sitting on 2 beautiful green acres on the shores of Ironton Cove rests an early 1900s immaculately furnished farm house offering four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Sleeps 10.

It's like taking a step back in time. At the foot of the historic Ironton Ferry and only seven miles from Boyne City, the location is perfect. Crossing the Ironton Ferry, downtown Charlevoix is 5 miles away, and only 3 miles from Northern Michigans premiere wedding destination venue, Castle Farms. Across the narrows from your beach is the Landings Restaurant, Lake Charlevoix's premier lakefront dining. Enjoy a casual round of golf at Ye Nyne Olde Holes Golf Club just down the road. Perfect location for winter vacationers as well, with Boyne Mountain Ski Resort only a 15 minute drive. The property also conducive for cross country skiing, snow shoeing and snowmobilers, with access to the lake as well as the great big front and back yard the farm house for your own recreational use. Perfect for all four seasons; from the hot summer days lounging on the sun deck, to the crisp Autumn afternoons during color tour, to the majestic winter landscape that northern Michigan has to offer. This property has it all.

For the kids, a volleyball and badminton net set up in the side yard for more outdoor family fun.

** IMPORTANT NOTE ** This house is located on a large property with other adjacent Vrbo rentals that when rented together function as a great family getaway compound, perfect for a group vacation. See Vrbo # 1834689 and # 2019555

Eight people (including kids 5, 3 and 4 mths) found that this home had something for everyone. The beach, the ferry, a restaurant/bar and outdoor spaces kept us busy. When it was cold and rainy we took advantage of the game table and listened to records. It was important to us that there was open floor space to roll around so we had plenty of room to play

This home had wonderful old farmhouse charm and was perfect for our family ski trip to Boyne. There was plenty of room for everyone, and we had a great stay. Nate was a fantastic host with excellent communication—he even shoveled and salted the walk before our arrival, which we really appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.

With Castle Farms so close, the Ironton Ferry does make it quick and easy to get to any event including weddings at the castle. The history behind the Ironton Ferry is pretty amazing. It’s gotten to be quite the tourist attraction as well the last 5 years. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

Everything that could have possibly went wrong did go wrong at the outset of our trip: the Heat wouldn't work, the electricity went out in the common areas, etc. Nevertheless, I am giving Nate a 5-Star review for his property because of how quickly he responded to everything, even getting a Handyman in very late at night to fix everything and get us up and running so that on Day 2 we were having the time of our lives. Thanks Nate - we are grateful for your slice of Ironton paradise and will be back!

Lovely Farm House

We enjoyed staying at the Farmhouse while we were spending the weekend skiing. We had room to spread out. We loved the record collection and had a blast playing them when we were back from the slopes in the evenings. Nate was super responsive when we had questions. We would stay again if we were in the area.

Charlevoix the Beautiful

Our family rented this home so we could go to a Friday Night Wedding. What a wonderful home to stay at. Even though we were unable to use all of the outside facilities available to us due to the fact it rained the entire weekend. Family members enjoyed it so much they asked when can we come back?

The property was great and Nate was the best host. Our family had a lot of fun playing in the yard, sitting on the porch and beach deck. We did realize we needed to purchase drinking water as the home’s water I am guessing was high in iron. We enjoyed being able to catch the ferry so easily.

Fun week on the lake

We had a great time. The house is an older farm house, but it had everything we needed. The property is large with a lot of green space, and the access to the water is very nice. The only issue is that the lake is across the road, which can be lined up with cars parked and waiting for a ferry, but it didn’t interfere with our stay too much. We brought our boat and this location was perfect access point to explore everything Lake Charlevoix has to offer.

About the host

Hosted by Nate Springer

Host profile image
In the hospitality business for the past 10 years seasonally in Miami Beach, bar biz, mixology. The north was calling me back! Northern Michigan once was my vacation spot in the summers, now it is my home.

Why they chose this property

This property truly is One of One. Sitting at the foot of the historic Ironton narrows and Ironton Ferry on Lake Charlevoix, it's the perfect location. Centrally located between Charlevoix, Boyne City and East Jordan, on the beach facing the North, and the Landings Restaurant on the water just across the ferry. It gets no better. Priceless views of both Lake Charlevoix and the Ironton Narrows from the porch... breathtaking. A place you and your family will want to came back to time and time again.
