Einzigartiges Blockhaus mit Blick auf den Michigansee

My uncle and his friends used to rent this property when they were in college ( in the early 40s) He fell in love with it and my grandmother bought it. It has been passed down through generations and our family returns every year to enjoy the splendors of Charlevoix, specifically the Mt McSauba area.
The New York Times once named Charlevoix one of the top 3 places to visit in the country and called it the Martha's vineyard of the Northwest. Golfing, boating, biking, and hiking enthusiasts frequent this lovely town. Diverse and popular restaurants and shopping add to the appeal. Beautiful beaches on Lake Michigan and Charlevoix dot the area. Our cottage offers the best of both worlds: peaceful in it's location but less than 2 miles from downtown.
One renter called our cottage, "An American Eden." Two other couples rented it for their honeymoon week.

This originally was a quaint log cabin in the woods by the lake. Decades of additions and improvements have made this a beloved home where our family journeys from all over the country to meet.
People used to be allowed to salvage artifacts from shipwrecks and my uncle made wonderful pieces of furniture from timbers and wrought iron. Throughout the cabin are relics from the James Sawyer, Thomas Parsons, Leonard Hanna and other shipwrecks. Captain Allie Moore ( and local legend and close family friend) is represented in our cottage too.
The indoor stone and brick fireplace was built by my uncle. My Grandfather and uncle built the outdoor stone fireplace. My mother refinished the interior logs and ship timbers that adorn the home.
White pine paneling, cedar logs and authentic, handcrafted furniture add to the charm.
Beautiful gardens and a nice lawn are among the outdoor features. We have a view of lake Michigan and enjoy watching the gorgeous sunsets and spectacular stars!
