About this property

Be in the heart of Charlevoix overlooking the harbor!

This location will surprise you - it's steps from downtown yet very secluded! Enjoy the privacy. Park your car and walk to most of the restaurants and bars in Charlevoix, parks and beaches.

3 bedrooms, 2 bath. Pull-out sofa bed and 2 futons can be used for additional sleeping. The master suite includes a Jacuzzi tub and spa shower.

Watch the boats, listen to the seagulls. This home has a stunning view! From the house you can see Lake Michigan, Round Lake and Lake Charlevoix. You’ll want to spend all of your time on the large deck overlooking the harbor. It is a historic home but offers all the modern conveniences you may need – entertainment areas, wi-fi, private off street parking, and an office. The home offers ample privacy yet it is in the center of all the activities you may want to pursue. It is one block away from the City Marina, from the heart of downtown, restaurants and shopping, and the city park that offers many activities throughout the summer including art fairs, concerts, movies and farmers markets. Lake Michigan and its beaches are only five blocks away. The public boat launch and beach on Lake Charlevoix are within walking distance. This is the ideal location for any vacation to Northern Michigan!

Dogs considered with additional agreement. Seven day rental required in July and August.

Charming Charlevoix Chalet

We had a wonderful time in Janna’s home. She was very gracious and welcoming! Upon arrival, we were immediately drawn in by the stunning view overlooking the water. We enjoyed many evenings on the deck and the home’s decor was incredibly warm and inviting. 😊

Beautiful and convenient !

Charlevoix is a great vacation spot and Janna's house is perfect. The accommodations are lovely and had everything one would need. The view of Charlevoix's Round Lake is unbeatable, and we loved being able to walk or bike to everything we needed in town. Janna was available and helpful whenever we needed anything. We can't wait to return.

This was an amazing stay from beginning to end. Pictures really don't do it justice. The house is so well cared for and every little thing you can possibly need is provided for you. The views are beautiful too! Janna is a great host and took the time to stop by and show us some other property things. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will surely be back!

Perfect location, clean and well stocked

This is a lovely home with a beautiful view overlooking round lake. The house is well taken care of with beautiful gardens. The bathrooms and laundry are supplied with toiletries and nice soaps, and plenty of towels, including beach towels, are provided. Our family and a few friends really enjoyed our time on the balcony, and we can’t wait to stay again next year. Thanks to Janna for being a gracious and welcoming host! -The Farjo Family

Wonderful big lakefront house

Property features, size and amenities were better than expected. The pictures don't do full justice to how large and nice the house was. Janna was very helpful and accomodating on our check in as we were visiting from out of town and unsure on our arrival time. Thanks again for making your property available!

About the host

Hosted by Janna Wieland

Host profile image
Owner of the property since 2011.

Why they chose this property

Park your car and walk to everywhere you want to be! No need to deal with the traffic. You will love this location!

What makes this property unique

The definition of Brigadoon in Webster’s Dictionary is “a place that is idyllic, unaffected by time, or remote from reality.”

You may be familiar with the musical or movie “Brigadoon”. It is a musical with a book and lyrics by Lerner and music by Loewe that premiered in New York City in 1947 at the Ziegfeld Theatre.

The story is of a mythical village in the Scottish Highlands. The village became enchanted centuries ago remaining unchanged and invisible to the outside world except for one special day every hundred years when it could be seen and even visited by outsiders. This enchanted day is spent in joy and celebration. Those who happen upon Brigadoon may remain in this beguiling place after that magical day only if they love another enough to give up the world outside.
Charlevoix is the magical place. Chances are that you, like me, will enjoy the celebrations here and will appreciate that the natural beauty has been unaffected by time.

My career led me to live in many different places and to travel to many countries. Though it was Charlevoix that I couldn’t seem to forget, and it was here that I eventually moved back to. That is why I fondly call my house Brigadune (dune to reflect the wonderful beaches here). Now I enjoy the magic here every day. I hope you will find it magical too.
