About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Huge Views of Lake Michigan - Beach/Town Just Steps Away

It’s practically perfect in every way.

This stunning house is newly built, completed in 2020, with all the space you need, rooms with a view and a location that’s close to the beach, the park, the marina, shopping and entertainment. There’s everything you need for you and your family to create lasting memories.

Easy living

The main area is bright, spacious and comfortable with a gas fireplace and lots of natural light. Have a seat and take in the ambience and panoramic view of the Pine River Channel and Lake Michigan. For the techsters who can’t let go, “Alexa” is always at your service. After a long day of strenuous vacationing, get a sound sleep on new memory foam mattresses in the three bedrooms (also with “Alexa”) that fit 10 comfortably in beds. There are three full baths, no waiting. The energy efficient central air and furnace ensure the perfect temperature inside regardless of the weather outside.

Cooking with gas

Like a home-cooked meal? Go to it in the modern kitchen with gas range, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. Or just fire up the natural gas grill on the patio. No need to fiddle with heavy propane tanks or messy charcoal. Enjoy a burger, salad or beverages on the private patio. There’s even an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach or a morning run. Handling laundry during your stay will be both easy and convenient. The full-size front-loading washer and dryer are located on the second floor.

Rooms with a view

Watch Lake Michigan's waves break from the living room, kitchen and bedrooms. Along with the water views, you’ll get the sun in the morning and the moon at night from the front deck and balcony. We guarantee a glorious sunset every night, weather permitting. You may even see the International Space Station passing overhead.

Location, location, location

This spot is special, one of the best for enjoying all of Charlevoix and surrounding areas. If you want sun and sand, step out the front door and walk along the Pine River Channel, only 150 feet away. From there, head for a short 300-foot stroll to the beach and lighthouse on Lake Michigan. Wave to the passing catamarans, cruisers or passengers on the ferry as it leaves to Beaver Island. To get to town, head east along the channel path. It’s just a 10-minute jaunt to Charlevoix’s business district. You’ll find unique boutiques, casual and fine dining, pubs, gourmet food and wine shops, craft beers, live music, concerts, comedy, tours and more.

The great outdoors

For more activity in your life, take your pick. Hike the trails at Mt. McSauba, or put your mettle to the pedals and bike along the 26-mile paved Little Traverse Wheelway. Charter a fishing trip or sail Lake Michigan. Plus there’s golfing, kayaking, birding and much more. In the winter, put on your skis, (downhill or cross-country) strap on your snowshoes, lace up your ice skates.

Who could ask for anything more?

Everything you could need or want is here or just minutes away. Daytime activities, nighttime entertainment. Take your pick and go. Then after it all, sit back, relax and enjoy the lightness of being in Charlevoix.

Great for our trip
Visited Charlevoix for a wedding at Castle Farms. The Palmer house location had a water view out all front windows plus the sidewalk along the channel allowed easy walk-ability to town as well as guests who may be staying at the hotels and condos to walk to our rental. The house is clean and comfortable, open floor plan on the first floor, large deck in the front and large patio in the back. The owners are not new to renting as everything is easy to use and to maintain cleanliness. The small parking lot between the house and water does have lights at night but can easily be blocked with the bedroom shades. The lot also adds extra parking and room to the rental. This rental met all expectations and helped us have a great wedding weekend.

We couldn’t have been more happy with our stay. The location was beautiful with great views of the lake. The home was decorated so nice with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We loved that we could relax, make dinner and enjoy a beautiful bonfire after dinner. It is walking distance to town and very clean. Thanks to the owner Tim who was always very responsive.

Relaxing Charlevoix.
We have been vacationing in Charlevoix for thirty years. It’s become our home away from home. Our family has outgrown the hotel we use to stay at. We found this Vrbo and it was spacious, clean, quiet, steps from the beach, and within walking distance to restaurants and shops. Tim was very quick in responding to any help we needed.

The perfect vacation home
This was our second time staying at Tim’s beautiful home! The home, layout and location are perfect! We had a fabulous time staying there with our four children! We especially appreciated the very well equipped kitchen, extra beach towels, beach wagon, high chair/pack and play and shampoo/body wash in the bathrooms. Tim is a fantastic host and his communication is excellent! He promptly addressed our questions and we appreciated that so much! We hope to be back next year!

Overall a very good experience renting with Tim and staying at the Palmer House. The Palmer house location was superb overlooking part of Lake Michigan and the channel leading into Lake Charlevoix. The place was as described! And when there was an issue with the door Tim was very quick to resolve.

We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home on Lake Michigan and the adjoining Lake Charlevoix! Home was perfect and just gorgeous. The location was amazing as we could walk to everything we needed along with a short drive to area towns (Petoskey, Bellaire and Traverse City). Tim was very courteous and prompt in his hospitality needs or checkins. Views were even better than pictured. We will be hopefully be back soon!
