About this property

Nature's Nook - Hot Tub! - walk to Lake Michigan!


Nestled on the edge of North Point Nature Preserve and Mt. McSauba, you will LOVE the location of Nature's Nook. This year round getaway is fully equipped to provide a comfortable and relaxing stay. Right across the street is a trail to Lake Michigan sand dunes and one of Charlevoix's most beloved beaches (parking for the beach is across the street from the house - it's approximately a 2 block walk over dunes from our front door to the water). Feel free to make use of the beach chairs and toys you'll find in the garage! Explore the nature trails right out the front door, play on the dunes, and take a dip in Lake Michigan! A new playground for the kids just opened at McSauba, walk from the house - the kids will love it! Basketball hoops are also at McSauba and tennis/pickleball courts are only a mile away!

Less than 2 miles from town, you can bike, walk or drive in to enjoy shops, restaurants, and watch the drawbridge rise. Enjoy all the festivals and summer celebrations in Charlevoix, or take an easy drive to Boyne or Petoskey! Easy access to all the area golf courses, and only a short drive to Castle Farms or Pond Hill Farms.

Leaf peepers will love the splendor of the fall colors just outside your door at the nature preserve, or can take a short drive through the Tunnel of Trees. Snow bunnies can enjoy all that Mt. McSauba has to offer - one of the top 3 small ski areas in the U.S. as determined by Ski Magazine! Skiing, snow shoeing, sledding hills, cross country ski trails, and an ice rink - all right across the street! Only 30 minutes to the slopes at Boyne Mountain (Boyne City) or Boyne Highlands (Harbor Springs).

Stay with us at Nature's Nook and see why the North side of Charlevoix is the favorite of the locals!

The main floor features an open floor plan with living room, dining room, breakfast nook, and a beautiful, fully updated kitchen. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need if you want to make your own meals, traditional coffee maker, a Keurig, and an electric tea kettle. The master bedroom is on the main floor along with one full bathroom and laundry. Upstairs is a full bathroom as well as 2 additional bedrooms. A separate ensuite is conveniently located on the main floor through a private entrance off the garage, including a bedroom with a king size bed and a beautiful, modern full bathroom with a walk in shower. Televisions provide streaming capabilities so you can login to your own accounts on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. A secluded wrap around deck provides the perfect spot to relax, soak in the hot tub, or use the Weber grill. After watching the sunset on Lake Michigan, it's only a short stroll back to the house to enjoy a dip in the hot tub. The house is air conditioned to provide comfort on the hottest days. Hot tub is professionally cleaned and serviced by a spa service technician every week. Cozy fireplace, as well as a selection of games, books, puzzles and dvds for those who want to stay in!

Pack and Play and umbrella stroller available for use.

Charlevoix is so beautiful! The house is just as it's listed, fully outfitted and we did not want for anything. The beach is the best in the area, kept forgetting that this wasn't the ocean! Owner is super communicative, small issue with hot tub that was immediately resolved. Highly recommend for a family vacation, the kids all want to come back to exactly this house

Great home, great location

Two families, 5 kids total 11 and under. The home was wonderful. The quiet neighborhood and proximity to Mt. McSauba recreation area made this a perfect stay for us. We loved the beach time. We loved the walks through the woods. We loved the lack of crowds. The kids could play and scooter through the neighborhood with little worry of cars. A great place for a family vacation.

Secluded hideaway

We just wrapped up a great stay with our adult children and their spouses. The house is in a fantastic location. You can bike the neighborhood with almost no traffic, and can connect to the wheelway if you want to ride a great bike path to Petoskey and beyond. Walk across the street and you can hike in a nature preserve. A short walk through the dunes will put you on the lake. It comfortably houses 8 adults, and we cooked most of our dinners at home with a well appointed kitchen and gas grill. Definitely a place I would visit again!

Just what we needed.

The house was a perfect spot for the Castle Farms wedding we attended. Really appreciated the kitchen countertops!!! So much room to spread out. It was also nice to have the attached room. My nephew was able to have his own entrance and bathroom. Note: The ensuite can be accessed either from the outside or through the garage. My only negative was the amount of leaves while getting in. Granted, it was fall, but the pile to the front door was WAY too much.

Life at it’s best

Such a great property. Close to Lake Michigan. Tucked in a wooded area. Quite neighborhood. Fall colors were beautiful all around us. Didn’t use the hot tub since the weather was rainy but we loved the option and how secluded the deck was. Beds were very comfortable. The bedroom off of the garage was perfect for one’s wanting a more zen quiet feel. The colors and the 2 buck deer picture in that bedroom room were very soothing, actually all the artwork was very soothing. Loved the moose picture above the fireplace. Thanks for a great spot to spend time with girlfriends, 60 somethings, that haven’t seen one another for 2 years due to Covid restrictions. Thanks!

This a great location within walking distance to both a soft sand beach and a rocky beach, and a quick drive into downtown Charlevoix. I would check with the host in advance as to how many bath towels will be provided. We had 6 adults, 3 children, and two infants and were only given 8 towels & washcloths for our 5 night stay. We did laundry constantly so everyone had what they needed. We were also given very little handsoap and shampoo/conditioner, running out on day two.

Perfect home, in a perfect area for family gatherings

This beautiful home nestled in a quiet neighborhood is located near everything that makes northern Michigan the special place that it is. The host has made sure the home is well stocked in all ways. The kitchen is fully equipped which made preparing meals so easy. The host provides excellent communication and is attentive to details. I highly recommend this property. Lake Michigan is a block away, a small area ski hill is nearby and there are many great waking trails to explore. explore.trails.wakingskverything

Wonderful Getaway

Staying here was a very positive experience for my family and me. The home was equipped with much more than the bare essentials. The home had a full kitchen with everything you needed to make meals, beach equipment and toys, and plenty of games/books/movies for the kids. The location of the home is within an hour(ish) of top attractions like Traverse City, Mackinac Island, Petoskey, and more. The host was quick to respond and made check-in very simple. Would highly recommend.
