House on Susan Lake, Charlevoix, Michigan

8171 Shrigley Rd., Charlevoix, MI 49720

3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home located on Susan Lake. Susan Lake is 5.4 miles from downtown Charlevoix. It’s a shallow, narrow lake, and flows out the northern end 2 miles emptying into Lake Michigan. Enjoy the call of loons on Susan Lake, or kayak and fish the spring-fed waters.

Campfire pit, firewood and outdoor seating is also provided. Quiet time starts at 10:00 pm when outside.

Dogs are allowed, any size, but MUST BE ON LEASH when outside. This is mandatory. My neighbors have dogs and there are free range chickens right across the road. There is a $45 pet fee.

Miles of hiking trails through untouched forest and stunning water views from hilltops nearby. Several parks with stunning views and fishing piers are also located in the area.
Greensky Hill Indian United Methodist Church is a historical site, also on the shores of Susan Lake.
LITTLE TRAVERSE WHEELWAY is a paved and non-motorized trail that stretches 26 miles from Charlevoix to Harbor Springs along the coast of Little Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan. The trail is for biking, walking, running, inline skating and skiing. It has stunning views of the water, a boardwalk through a wetland and a historic section.

Cute rental near Charlevoix
Nice place for a family. Property owner was super friendly and great with communicating. Would definitely stay again. I would just be mindful that it does get hot without AC. We stayed mid July and lucked out with gorgeous weather but it got quite hot in the house in the evening.

Cute home with a great location
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and well maintained and only a short distance from downtown Charlevoix. There was firewood and sticks available to have a nice fire down by the water. We would definitely recommend the home to others and would stay there again.
