Vacation rentals with a kayak in Charlevoix County

Excellent house on the water, great for families, all you need is there including great fishing. just what we were hoping for on a weekend getaway trip.

Beautiful home, in a location perfectly situated for river life (amazing birding!) and walker-friendly town life. The large kitchen is better equipped than my own, and the interior floor-plan made it easy for our group to be comfortable, whether gathered or in separate spaces. The scenic grounds are kept perfectly manicured. The owner lives close by and is very helpful with sharing information and lending kayaks, canoe, and life vests. The house is historic yet feels fresher than a new home - overall a great experience.

Great family getaway, within 30 mins of many different restaurants, things to do. Super comfortable beds and stylishly decorated. The deck with the southern facing sun was a great way to spend the day on a cool, sunny, autumn day.

It was the best house that we have ever stayed at! Kyle was was very responsive and we had an amazing time! The private dock is great too!

This property is flat out amazing! The pictures do not do this place justice. The layout of the house is perfect for a family vacation with plenty of space all over the house! Game room is amazing with the theater seating and huge TV, the deck is a great place to lounge, walk out door on the ground floor is a nice touch, rooms have a nice view of the lake. The house is very clean and has everything that you need. Yes, the house is amazing, but David made this stay a one of a kind. I asked a lot of questions and he was patient, understanding, and welcoming as a host from start to finish. Communication with David was very clear and concise. Thank you again David for making this vacation one that we will never forget! We will definitely be coming back to stay at one of your properties!

If your looking for peace and quiet, this is the place. Beautiful scenery and wild life.

Beautiful place , spacious great for a family getaway

I've stayed at lots of places like Cindy's, but her friendliness, decor of the house and toys for the children put this place over the top. We will be back!!! Gorgeous views and lots of room on the wrap around deck. The grills were in excellent shape. Also the outdoor fire pit with the stone surround and path is very cool.

My husband and I really enjoyed our time at Andrew’s property. The expansive view of Lake Michigan with gentle dune grass is breathtaking, the cottage is modern and comfortable. Sturgeon Bay beach is gorgeous and walkable for miles, right by Wilderness State Park. The fall colors were amazing, and we made the most of the many fantastic biking and hiking trails nearby. We loved exploring the region during the day and returning to the cottage to gaze at the sunsets and stars.

Great view of the beautiful lake from the cottage. Cottage is in a good location to make day trips to places in the tip of the mitt and the eastern U.P. Having two bathrooms is helpful. Really liked the decor and all of the little touches throughout the cottage. If you have forgotten to bring anything look around first before running to buy it, as they have several items there for you use. There was a slight glitch with the access code when we first got there, but the problem was taken care of by a quick response from the hosts. They were quick in getting back to us throughout our stay. There was just the two of us, but I think the cottage would also work great for a family with kids. One of our favorite things was drinking our morning coffee while watching the two loons out on the lake.

We had a lovely stay at Larissa's place! The location is perfect - it's within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and a grocery/ general store. The hot tub was clean and secluded. Larissa was great with communication and instructions.

We had a wonderful time at Mark and Mary’s place. Our friends stayed in one of the other houses so it’s a great area for multiple families to stay and gather. It was one of the cleanest we’ve stayed at. The property is beautiful. We loved the patio area, fire pits, and lake area. We definitely want you to come back to take advantage of the lake.

The house is so comfortable. closed to things we wanted to do and see. Great deck and dock. Kitchen was very well supplied. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Awesomely Fantastic! Trillion Stars ⭐️ Thank you 🙏

Great place to unwind and relax! Ellsworth Lake is such a beautiful spot and holds many memories for our family.

We loved our experience here. The kids had a wonderful time on the lake and in the yard on the swings and hammocks. We loved having Ayres at the fire pit and enjoyed the entire atmosphere. Felt like home and sad to leave. Perfect launching place to visit friends and enjoy Charlevoix. Hope to return! Will miss the loons!

Cute little cabin on the lake with a stunning view, great restaurant within walking distance with amazing food… what more could I ask for?

Very cozy! Don’t forget to bring everything you think you’ll need and more

Thomas responded promptly to all of our questions. The cottage was the perfect place to get away from it all, and on a hot day, the breeze from the lake made it feel as cool as if it was air conditioned! As a heads up to other renters: the lake is very shallow so take it easy when you pick up speed, but the lake connects to The Black Hole Nature Preserve and then to the Inland Waterway via Crooked Lake so there’s plenty to explore if you have a boat. Our dog hung out in the water all day living his best life and it was easy enough to keep him on the porch using a baby gate until he was dry enough to come into the rest of the house. The bunk beds were particularly roomy and great for all ages!!

It is a steal of a place. This was our second time and we want to keep coming.

Lynn and Jeff’s place was incredibly comfortable, cozy, and clean. Although we did not have time to use them, the grill and the fire pit were an added bonus. I wanted to get there before dark because the directions said after a certain point ignore Google directions, but it was very easy to find and their directions were also spot on.

The cabin is beautiful and everything was clean. We didn't have time to meet Lynn and Jeff, but they were very helpful. I definitely hope to come back soon.

This is a very beautiful place to stay with countless “up north” towns and attractions within a 30 to 45min drive. The view of the river from the lounge area was especially lovely in the mornings and evenings. We had multiple visits from the local deer and chipmunks (as an Aussie this was a a real treat). The interior had lovely decorations and felt very homely. All as described and has anything you might need. Larry is a top bloke and was very welcoming and happy to lend a hand if needed. Highly recommend!
