We had a wonderful multi-generational family stay at this beautiful property! The house was clean, views were lovely, there was plenty of space to gather, and it's just a short drive to downtown Charlevoix. Carine was communicative and helpful throughout our stay. The only issue was that the stove range made a clicking noise for several minutes after the burners were turned off. Overall, a great place for a family getaway!

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.

Annual Family Get-together

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.

Perfect house for a multi-family vacation.

Finally a house that lives up to it’s 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!
