About this property

Large home on the Lake, Hot tub, Families, Groups

Bring the whole family to this great place with lots of room for fun.
Located on beautiful Benway Lake. Super spacious home! Hot tub and then jump into the lake. Bring a boat or just relax with the fireplace in the winter season. Great for large families or groups.

Key Features:
Open space lower level with bar area and game playing.
Large open space and kitchen
On lake with dock and fire pit - plenty of seating on huge back deck.

When you walk into the front door of our home, you'll be amazed how open and charming the living space is with the high ceilings. The stone fireplace is an absolute eye catcher that will make you want to grab a book and slip into relaxation mode.
Natural light flows during the day through the home while you will have the gorgeous view of the lake out the large windows. Relax on the comfortable sofa or out on the large deck to watch and listen to the nature that surrounds while drinking your morning coffee or happy hour glass of wine.
You will be at home in the large kitchen that is equipped with everything you will need to prepare meals for all of your guests. Stainless steel appliances, double oven, all pots and pans, dishes and utensils are here for you. Gas grill located right outside the kitchen doors on the deck.
The master bedroom is located of of the main living area, then there is a second smaller living room.

Home is located on Benway Lake, which is part of the Upper Chain of Lakes. Benway Lake is located just 2.6 miles from Central Lake, in Antrim County, in the state of Michigan. Fishermen will find a variety of fish including bream/bluegill, rock bass, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed sunfish, northern pike, smallmouth bass, perch, crappie and muskie here. Benway is an all-sports lake. Because of minimal traffic, it is also perfect for kayaking and canoeing. We have three one-person kayaks, a canoe, and a paddle board for your use, as well as life jackets. Enjoy wildlife such as loons, swans, and even the occasional bald eagle.
Please note: There is not a sandy beach at this property, but both Lake Michigan and Torch Lake beaches are just ten minutes away. We do not recommend swimming off the dock but there are a few sandy areas across the lake to the left, on Wilson Lake to the north, and on Intermediate Lake to the south. Pontoon boats can get to all of the lakes.

Several ski resorts are accessible. Schuss Mountain is a 25 minute drive, Boyne Mountain 35 minutes.

The best northern Michigan golf courses are all a short drive away: Bay Harbor, Shanty Creek, Boyne Mountain, Boyne Highlands, A-Ga-Ming, Antrim Dells, Belvedere, and Dunmaglas. Benway Bliss is a great base location for golfers who enjoy playing a different course each day.

We are close to so many great locations to explore.

I will have a welcome book at the property which will have instructions and information to help during your stay.
You will be required to fill out a rental agreement and must be 25 to rent.
Security Deposit of $1000 will be requested through the booking site 2 weeks prior to arrival.

College Friends Getaway

Very happy with the property. Provided myself and all of my friends with enough space to spread out but also great hanging out space in the 2 living rooms. Enjoyed the kayaks and the canoe and the location on the lake was private and quiet. Would definitely rent again!

Family Get Away

The house is beautiful and there was plenty of room for all 13 of us. There were plenty of kitchen utensils and dishes, bathroom amenities, etc. A couple of things that were a little frustrating - the first night we got there, we went to grill dinner and the grill was a mess, there was no propane in the tank and no grill tools. The host was prompt to answer she could come out later but we had a hungry family. We went and exchanged the tank ourselves and she dropped off grill utensils and another tank the next day. The basement living area had a lot of larger spiders in it and my adult children were uncomfortable sleeping down there and I have to admit I wouldnt. I know its in the woods but there were many!! I let the host know and said she would get someone in to spray. The driveway is private and narrow and was difficult to get our boat down and turn around, and the parking for it was just off the shoulder of the narrow road. I would not suggest hauling a boat if you dont have to. I didnt feel it was clear in the description. However, we did make the best of it, we enjoyed the firepit, boating, a trip on Torch lake and Charlevoix.

Awesome Getaway!

Gorgeous home! Pictures are very accurate to property. Tons of space to get together and hang out as well as areas to retreat for a little “me time”. The home is secluded. 25 min from downtown Charlevoix and other beautiful lake towns. Great communication with property manager. Very nice and helpful. Would book again!

Christmas Cabin

We chose this house for our family's annual Christmas cabin. it was spacious. It has the open floor plan needed in the kitchen and dining room that opens up to the living room. For the older adults, there are plenty of bedrooms upstairs and another huge living space and bar downstairs for the younger crowd that might want to stay up and play games or watch movies. I'd recommend this place. it's a beautiful home in a beautiful location on the lake.
