About this property
Welcome to Northern Michigan Lake Living — Where Spring Is Just Around the Lake
**During June and July we require a 7 night minimum stay.**
Nestled in a quiet woodland setting just three miles from downtown Boyne City, this Lake Charlevoix retreat offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. Whether you're chasing vibrant fall colors or a peaceful snow-covered getaway, this home is the ideal base for your Northern Michigan adventure.
Step inside and you’ll be instantly spoiled by the warmth and comfort this property offers. The main level features elegant furnishings, radiant heated floors, tasteful seasonal decor, and an open-concept layout perfect for gathering. The gourmet kitchen is a dream for food lovers, with a gas range, double ovens, stainless steel appliances, a spacious island with ample seating, and everything you need to prepare hearty meals after a day of exploring.
Enjoy meals in the dining area with sweeping views of the lake, or cozy up in the living room, complete with a leather sofa and large flatscreen TV—perfect for movie nights or relaxing after a day on the slopes. This level also includes a private bedroom and additional sleeping space with a convenient Murphy bed.
French doors lead to a tranquil outdoor space where you can sip your morning coffee or unwind with a glass of wine as you overlook the peaceful lake. The large lawn is great for playing games in fall, while the firepit becomes a cozy gathering spot during crisp evenings.
When winter arrives, the fun continues indoors. Challenge the family to a game of air hockey, or retreat to the second living area downstairs for board games, reading, or movie marathons.
And for adventure lovers, Boyne Mountain Resort is just minutes away—offering skiing, snowboarding, ziplining, horseback riding, an indoor waterpark, a full-service spa, and more!
