Our home is just a short drive from the charming town of East Jordan and nearby Boyne City and is close to a variety of shops, restaurants, and attractions, including hiking trails, golf courses, and local wineries. You'll also be within easy driving distance of Charlevoix (via the historic Irontown Ferry), Petoskey, Traverse City, and Boyne Mountain.

Beautiful!
We were all so pleased with everything about this beautiful retreat - the preteens were thrilled with the rec room while the adults relaxed in the soothing site of the south arm of lake Charlevoix dressed in gorgeous fall colors. On top of that, the owners were very thoughtful & responsive. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us.

Our family rented this home for our kids and grandkids to stay to attend a wedding. The space was perfect! Everything was well kept and clean and there was plenty of space to move around. The host was attentive to questions and had the house expected perfectly written! Will consider in the future if the location is correct. Would definitely recommend.

Best Lake Trip Ever!
Laurie and David’s lake house was perfect for our extended family vacation. The location couldn’t be better, on the lake with stunning sunset views. The home is very clean, decorated well, with comfortable bedrooms and living spaces. The game-theater room was definitely approved by the teens in our group! Grandparents had plenty of comfortable outdoor seating overlooking the lake while we waterskied and tubed in the bay. We absolutely loved our stay and look forward to returning to Lake Charlevoix and Laurie and David’s place!

Amazing Family Vacation
My family loved everything about our stay at this wonderful Lake Charlevoix property. We were able to rent a tritoon for a few days and stopped off for lunch at the Landings Restaurant right on the water. Being on the South Arm of Lake Charlevoix is the BEST. The kids had fun tubing even on the windiest of days at this part of the lake. The main body had small craft warnings, but that didn't affect us in this location. The owner was extremely responsive to all my queries. He went out of his way to provide extra small appliances I inquired about but were not necessary. I was planning on bringing items from home if the rental didn't have them, but he stopped by on our first day and provided brand new items. We loved the home decor, indoor and outdoor spaces and the extra fun amenities. Our grandkids loved the theater room and I enjoyed being challenged to defend my ping-pong title with my granddaughter. Access to the lake was incredible either directly from the sandy beach or by the ladder at the end of the dock. Everyone wanted to extend our stay and made me promise to book this same home next year and make it an annual tradition. Thank you to David and his wife who made this home so comfortable and enjoyable.

Great family vacation along a quiet lake.
We stayed Memorial Day weekend, maxing out the house capacity! We had plenty of space to spread out. The homeowner notified us in advance of renovations that were occurring to the property and kept us posted on progress. Owners are very polite and responsive. The renovations are full of detail and help improve the quality of stay. The custom decor completed the vibe. Everything is fully stocked for your trip needs. The new game room was a huge hit for the kids especially since we had one rain-out day where it rained morning to night! The outside space is exactly the right size to relax by the fire, play a yard game, or for a pet. The dock had plenty of space for easy water access. The property was very serene and on a private drive. The tree coverage on either side of the yard helps give privacy despite close proximity to neighbors. Everyone was polite and respectful in neighboring houses. Top notch stay!

Home pictures are accurate. "Newly renovated" is not accurate but the home is quite nice. Sufficient bathrooms and every thing worked. Water front property is exactly as pictures show. Docking facility for our boat was wonderful. Great facility and ample parking for our vehicles. Weather was not the best during our stay but I'm sure it would be even more pleasant with great weather.

Highest Praise for this Property AND Owner
We've been staying at the same place for 7 years and this year decided to venture out. I was very apprehensive yet it turned out to be amazing. This house is perfect for kids, adults and older folks. Much of our worry was re: not having a beach for the kiddos (3,6 and 9) yet it was--in many ways--a non-issue. The dock is beautiful, safe and gave them a place to jump into appropriate depths with supervision seating right there. Kids had a blast (note: they are good swimmers). The house is ideal for a larger group (we had 11) with three beds on lower level, each slightly small but nothing more is needed on vacation than a place to sleep! The bunk room is ideal. Main floor master and bath are good, comfy. Upstairs gave a single adult privacy and his own space. Everything you might need is included. Appliances newer, storage for food in kitchen and clothing in bedrooms is excellent. Extremely clean, tidy and welcoming upon entering. We were very, very happy here and trust me--you will be, too! Highest recommendation for comfort, ease of use and responsiveness of owners. Not a 'show place' but just what we wanted--a home. Thank you for a lovely vacation experience.

Big family fun
Our entire family from all over the country spends 1 week in Charlevoix every year and have stayed in many different places. This house met our needs almost to perfection. Plenty of room and situated on a perfect spot on the lake. Everyone from 2 to 87 were comfortable and our vacation was almost perfect. We're hoping to return annually. The host was available and went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Thanks David and Laurie.

Great spot for a family lake vacation
This was a great property to enjoy with our big family over the 4th of July. Plenty of sleeping space, a well working air conditioner, beautiful views, and a great yard. David was very communicative leading up to our stay and responded quickly when we had questions while visiting. We definitely recommend you take a nice relaxing vacation at this charming house on the South Arm of Lake Charlevoix.
