About this property

Welcome to the Dune Cottage with incredible views of Lake Michigan and the Beaver Island archipelago. Facing west into every sunset, this newly renovated 3-story cottage was built into the dunes at a time that current regulations prevent. All you see from the large deck is a 230-degree panoramic view of pure Lake Michigan. We have a private beach and a 100-yard walk away gives access to 3 miles of unspoiled remote protected undeveloped land!

The cottage (renovated in 2018) includes a new kitchen, appliances, 3 new bathrooms, lighting, furniture, flooring, and decor. Four bedrooms are spacious enough to host up to 10 guests comfortably. Nestled inside Fishermans Island State Park allows access to 2800 acres of protected land for hiking and hunting in season.

The Dune Cottage is conveniently located just 12 minutes from downtown Charlevoix. Charlevoix boasts a new-ish marina and East Park, unique restaurants, shopping, farmers market ... There is not a better location in Charlevoix. There are many golf course options within a short distance from the cottage. Snow skiing in the winter months is easily accessed as well.

We have been in the weekly rental business for 2 decades and always enjoy sharing our lovely properties with our guests.

Beautiful peaceful getaway!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Dune Cottage. We loved walking the beach and taking in stunning sunsets every evening. The home is well equipped and comfortable. Lake Michigan and the surrounding dunes are in full view from inside the house and on the lovely deck. Highly recommended!

Charlevoix Cottage

WOW, the beach & views are amazing! We had a wonderful vacation. The layout of the home worked well for our family (ages 7-74) with 3 levels to stretch out. Main level w/ kitchen, 1/2 bath, living room, dining & deck “perfect for sunsets” over-looking beautiful dunes & beach. Lower level w/ 2 bedrooms, full bath, laundry & additional family room. Upper level master, bunk-room & full bath. LOVED everything except house could use new linens (sheets & towels) and back-up toiletries (soaps for bathrooms). Thank you for having us & we are excited to visit again next summer.

About the host

Hosted by Anne Hornak

We have been vacationing in Charlevoix for 40 years and enjoy the area immensely. Whatever the season, it is truly an amazing place! We all enjoy the beaches, restaurants, shopping, boating, marinas, golfing, library, orchards, festivals, neighboring towns, etc. We're so fortunate to have found this property located precisely where we wanted it: on miles of sand where the sunsets are INCREDIBLE) and a short drive from downtown (Bridge Street).
