About this property

Life Is Always Better At Lake Life Charlevoix - Golf Cart Included!

Lake Life Charlevoix is a 7 bedroom, 3 bath lakeview home located just 2 miles north of Charlevoix the Beautiful! Drink your coffee sitting on the deck looking out over Lake Charlevoix. Then, change into your swimsuit and head to the sand beach located one block away. It's a short walk, but why not take the custom golf cart, instead??? Bikes are provided if you want to take an afternoon ride on the Little Traverse Wheelway. Finish off the day by exploring the nearby towns of Charlevoix (5 minutes), Boyne City (15 minutes), Bay Harbor (10 minutes) or Petoskey (15 minutes). The local areas offer festivals, farmers markets, shopping, restaurants, wineries, and breweries. There are many nearby golf courses, including Dunmaglas, Crooked Tree Golf Club, Boyne Mountain, and the Belvedere Golf Club. For the adventurous vacationers, Charlevoix is close enough to the Upper Peninsula for a day trip. Check out Tahquamenon Falls, the Soo Locks and Mackinac Island. One thing is for sure, you will never be bored at Lake Life Charlevoix.

Great place to stay!

We were in Charlevoix for a wedding and 11 extended family members stayed here for the weekend. It was a great place to stay! Plenty of room for all of us, close to the lake and to town. It definitely exceeded our expectations. Erinn was an excellent host, very accommodating and communicative. I highly recommend!

This home is in a beautiful location, close to a wonderful beach, in a quiet area close to downtown Charlevoix. It is a lovely, home with a big kitchen for easy cooking and lots of bedrooms for kids or friends. We loved every minute of our stay and were grateful for the help the owners gave when we couldn’t figure out how to work some of the appliances! What a beautiful place to vacation!

Great home for multigenerational vacation

We had a wonderful stay with room for all 11 of us, grandparents, 2children, and 5 grandchildren. Close to beaches, Charlevoix and Petosky. Sitting on the deck watching the lake with the fire on was our favorite activity- - plus making s’mores over the fire.

Perfect location in Charlevoix

This property was as advertised! The golf cart was a plus! The location of this beautiful house is perfect and we used it as home base to travel to Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes , Mackinac Island, and Traverse City. We spent a lot of time at this house though, in the evening and enjoyed the awesome outside fireplace. This home was well-equipped and we highly recommend it.

Outdoor dream-indoor comfort

Our family of 10–5 teens included enjoyed being by the water and being able to enjoy the beautiful and recreational area of the upper peninsula. We went to Bing in Boyden, picked strawberries and cherries, enjoy the beautiful small town, took the sunset sale, played mini golf, and bowled on a rainy day. The home was cozy, but had generous space for everyone to have private conversations and group chatter around the dining room table For meals.

The perfect lake house

Wonderful property well appointed. From spa towels to children’s toys this spacious house accommodated our whole family for our 50th anniversary. Beach chairs and a 7 person golf cart to travel on to the beach! Spa bathroom on upper level and lovely beds. Fire pit wall to heat the deck and provide ambiance for evening chats and star gazing. We hope to be able to return to Strawberry Beach community near Charlevoix.

Great stay

We had an excellent stay . The house lay out was perfect for our family of ten , three adult couples and four children . The families with two kids each took the upstairs suite which had 4 bedrooms and two baths . Grandparents stayed downstairs with third bath . The house was well stocked with stuff you need like dishwashing detergent , laundry supplies etc . Location was great ! Short walk or golf cart ride to sandy beach. We happened to be here during a festival so were able to see the air show and fireworks perfectly .Quiet neighborhood with nice neighbors about a 5 minute ride from downtown. Super convenient ! We would definitely stay here again !

Beautiful Home, Perfect Location!

This home was everything advertised and so much more! Our hosts thought of absolutely everything! Our group ranged in age from 3 to 63 and there was something for everyone. The hosts were very quick to respond and helpful when we had a few questions. There were 12 of us in the house and it never felt cramped or crowded, so there is plenty of space. But we did spend most of our time outside enjoying the deck with a beautiful view of the lake, awesome fire pit, nearby beach, and downtown Charlevoix! The golf cart came in handy for getting us and all of our gear to and from the beach and exploring our little neighborhood. What a nice touch! When we head up north again, I don’t think we’ll look for anywhere else to stay! Like Life Charlevoix will definitely be our first choice!

Plenty of room, great location

My family gathered from 4 states to celebrate a marriage. We so enjoyed the time we had together in this home. There was plenty of social space and private sleeping rooms for all. The view was enjoyable even in November. Convienent to town and wedding venue yet in a peaceful neighborhood. We even saw a giant buck right out in front of the deck. Thank you for having us.

Roomy 7 bedroom home

The patio doors gave a beautiful view of the lake. The layout is 2 separate areas which worked well for our family. We would have preferred 2 baths downstairs instead of upstairs but it wasn't a problem. We had couple issues but the owner responded immediately with solutions. Very quiet neighborhood and short walk to very nice sandy beach. Our grandkids ages 8,10,16 & 18 enjoyed the golf cart and lawn games. We all Loved the firepit each night!

We had a great stay in Charlevoix! This is such a great setting, a view of Lake Charlevoix, in a nice neighborhood. It's a short drive into Charlevoix and it's an easy drive to Petoskey too. The house is comfortable and spacious. The owners have been very thoughtful in all they offer in the house, it's a place to stay and be comfortable in.
