About this property

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.

Amazing views of channel and water. Very short walk to town and mushroom houses. We felt completely at home during our4 night stay. Well stocked kitchen with great appliances. Beds were comfortable and the home was exceptionally clean and well maintained . Lovely back yard with fire pit, although we weren’t there long enough to enjoy it. The host was great and responded immediately when we had some difficulty with door code. We had just not seen one like it, and once we were told it was easy. My only caution would be that all the lovely bedrooms are all upstairs and the stairs are steep, so this could be challenging for some. I highly recommend this home and would definitely come back.

Just WOW!
Stayed here with my fiancé, grandparents, and parents as well as some of bridal party for my wedding at castle farms. From the moment we pulled up, we were blown away. A welcome basket was awaiting us, host gave all necessary information prior to check-in. Seconds to the beach; property was well equipped and very clean. You can tell that the host has been doing this for a very long time, as everything was simply perfect. WOW! Thank you for helping make this life celebration so much better with this amazing property. Would rate 12 out of 10 stars and recommend to ANYONE!

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!

In the heart of Charlevoix
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.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Kish

Host profile image
Greetings! I am a husband and dad with varied interests that include flying, cycling, skiing, and making great experiences for my guests. I have over 14-years experience hosting 5-star properties on both VRBO and other sites.

Guests find me to be both proactive and responsive. I do my best to anticipate the needs of my guests, but when life throws me a surprise it is addressed promptly.

Why they chose this property

You will not find a house in Charlevoix with better views of Lake Michigan, access to the Lake Michigan Beach, and the ability to walk to and from town (about 1/3 mile) along the channel which is not only convenient, but well lit all night long.

You can literally park your car upon arrival, and not start it again until it's time to head back home.

What makes this property unique

Lake Michigan View
Proximity to the Lake Michigan Beach
Huge porch
Second floor balcony
