Come up north for a fall week or weekend. We are also now on Tik Tok. Welcome to Stewart's Folie, a renovated 1870s farmhouse on two acres on the north shore of Lake Charlevoix. A beautiful natural setting that is perfect for a vacation to be remembered. This heavily wooded shoreline property has been preserved in its natural state with rocky natural shoreline and native vegetation, and in the same family for over a century. A great location to get away and relax. This historic farmhouse was moved in 1950 to its current location by the owner's parents and renovated as a summer cottage and later as a year-round home. Renovated again in 2013-2017, the home now has an open floor plan, wood cookstove, and geothermal heating and cooling. The large walk-out deck looks out over Lake Charlevoix for beautiful sunsets, great for family gatherings. Walk down the path to the shore and private dock. The property includes 210 feet of natural shoreline along a private lakefront. The secluded setting is perfect for bird watching, swimming, boating, cookouts and evenings watching the stars. (No fireworks allowed). Attach your boat to our 75-lb mushroom mooring (summer only). Mooring is not available after Sept 1. The house was renovated with alternative energy and old-fashioned quality in mind. The kitchen has a farmhouse sink and wood stove. A large island provides cooking and prep space, with a sink and two-burner Wolf induction cooktop. You can also cook and bake using the wood stove, Breville countertop electric oven, or out on the deck using the charcoal grill or Sun Oven solar oven. A circular drive out front has parking for 4 cars. Enjoy the kitchen gardens filled with herbs and vegetables. Guests may use the family tennis court for tennis or pickle ball. (There are pickle ball lines on the court, but only a tennis net). The court is shared with our family members. Pickle ball equipment for four, and two tennis rackets are provided, but please bring extra rackets, balls, and your tennis shoes. Wifi is available throughout the house, and a desk workspace is in the living room. Bedrooms: Three of the four bedrooms have lake views. Each bedroom has its own sink. The downstairs bedroom has a modified queen bed and door to the deck overlooking the lake. Three bedrooms upstairs have original 1950s wallpaper intact. The largest bedroom has an attached half-bathroom with tub/shower and sink. A separate water closet in the hallway has a toilet accessible to all three bedrooms. The two double beds and one (modified) queen bed are handmade luxury mattresses made locally by Beds By Design. In addition a blow-up air mattress (double) is available. Fresh linens, towels, beach towels and some toiletries (toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap, and handmade natural hand soaps) are provided, but there is no maid service. Downstairs, the main bathroom has a tiled walk-in shower and laundry with washer and dryer. Laundry detergent provided. Go solar and use the clothesline for fresh air-dried laundry. Iron and ironing board provided. Beach towels and hair dryer provided. A detached "playhouse" is filled with toys for children, a bed for reading stories or relaxing away from the rest of your group, (no overnight sleeping permitted however), and extra outdoor folding chairs, an extra folding table, life jackets and paddles. Pets are limited to two small or medium sized dogs. Sorry, no cats are permitted. We have our own small dog next door. For your dog's safety, at night and early morning, always use a leash as we have nocturnal animals in the woods. Please pick up after your pet. The location is six miles from Charlevoix, and 12 miles from Boyne City. Two kayaks with paddles, and some life vests for adults and children are provided. Please feel free to bring your own life vests for toddlers/infants, kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards. If you wish to bring a sailboat or other boat, please contact us ahead of booking. Our boat mooring is a 75-pound mushroom type. A dinghy is also available for shared use. Guests can access the tennis court (shared with family members), surrounding wooded drives, and private lakefront with swimming and boating dock. (On July 4th, the tennis court is not available). Please note we have a strict no-smoking policy anywhere on the property, (inside and outside). We provide a variety of nature-related books for both adults and children. This is a house in the woods on Lake Charlevoix. Please respect the lake and waterways, the wildlife and native vegetation, taking care not to damage paths, plant life and trees. Firewood is provided for the wood stove and campfires on the shore. Please make sure all fires are attended at all times and completely out when done. We've taken care to preserve the surrounding natural environment. Please leave only footprints. We do not use insecticides or pesticides in or outside the home. We think it's important to keep these endocrine-disruptors out of the ecosystem and away from pets, wildlife, and our guests. This means you might see the occasional unwanted "guest" in the house. If you do, please let us know as soon as possible so that we may properly deal with it. We are surrounded by wild nature. If that's the place for you, please come visit. Note: There is no dishwasher, microwave, or TV. Thank you and hope you'll book Stewart's Folie for a wonderful time on Lake Charlevoix. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Limited onsite parking (max 4 spaces) ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the marina - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Gym - Kayak - Snow sports gear - Tennis - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Composting - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - Geothermal energy - No plastic coffee stirrers - No plastic drinking straws - No plastic soft drink bottles - No plastic water bottles - Recycling - Reusable coffee/tea filters - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74440000/74434900/74434876/edc4548e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake Front, Lake Charlevoix, Large Park like setting.

The home is cozy and rustic and especially warm if you fire up the wood burning stove to cook with. We really enjoyed the scenic views from the deck with our morning coffee. Fishing in the lake was great fun and we caught a few small mouth bass. Having kayaks available was nice as well on the calm water. Evenings were spent at the lake next to a fire pit. Overall we had a fantastic stay at Stewart's Folie and are looking forward to another trip! The proximity to restaurants and downtown is great, only about an 8 minute drive and only 25 minutes up to Petoskey. ##### Edward L. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie C.

We stayed at Stewart’s Follie for six nights. The three bedrooms upstairs were perfect for the kids and my husband and I stayed on the main floor. There was ample space for everyone. We enjoyed our meals on the back deck overlooking the lake. The cottage was well stocked with dishes, towels, blankets etc and labeled perfectly so you can easily find everything you need. The kayaks and pickleball courts were an added bonus. The house is exactly as it is advertised. It is comfortable, homey, and perfectly situated just a few minutes from downtown Charlevoix.

It was a great spot to social distance and slow down. The 1870's farmhouse, is austere and warm. Natural daylight abounds. You can view the lake from the deck, or venture down to the water via a shady path. There is a herb and vegetable garden, and a good selection of local history and fiction on hand. Kayaks are available, and there is a well kept tennis/pickleball court in the woods. (You will share it with family members who live in adjacent properties. Otherwise you wouldn't see anyone else in the woods.) The setting is extremely private. The owner was very helpful and attentive through the booking process. She responded to our initial inquiries promptly and made herself available throughout our stay. The house is stocked with natural cleaning products and toiletry details include the owner's personally hand-made soap. Very relaxing. We'd book it again in an instant. Wish we could've stayed longer. ##### Dave K. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eileen B., Where do you live? Aug 23, 2018 #### A Hidden Gem We spent 5 wonderful days at this fabulous place right on Lake Charlevoix. The house was clean and comfortable for the 4 of us - 2 adults and 2 teenage boys who plays tennis. This property has a tennis court shared with 2 or 3 other homes nearby so it was an added bonus for them. What I truly enjoyed was the vegetable garden and herb garden. Now, THAT was an added bonus for me as I LOVE to garden. Nothing better than looking out the window and see beautiful flowers and knowing you can cook with the fresh herbs and veggies. The house is surrounded by trees but still has a view of Lake Charlevoix. A walk down a path to the water is where we spent having our morning coffee and enjoyed beautiful sunsets right on the dock. There is a sitting area w/ chairs, use of 2 canoes, and an area for s’mores or even for grilling hot dogs or burgers. We never got around to grilling anything or even using the canoes ...5 days is just not enough time :-(. The boys did enjoy swimming in the water but was also happy and content just to sit by the water and read. My husband says his favorite thing about this place is the setting. I agree with him as well. It’s peaceful and quite (away from the road), surrounded by beautiful trees, the amazing sunsets and it’s setting truly makes you feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle of the day to day city life. We normally spend our 1week “up north” summer fix in Crystal Lake/Frankfurt area. However, my husband says this is his favorite area now. Its close proximity to Petoskey, Harbor Springs and Boyne City is a treat. The 5 days spent here is just what we needed to end our summer. We’re glad we found Stewart’s Folie. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. ##### Eileen B.

We love traveling up to Northern Michigan and can't wait for our next trip. The house was fantastic again and kept warm by the wood-burning stove. This is a great vacation spot with fantastic scenery and lake access. ##### Edward L.

Beautiful setting and love that they have kept the shoreline natural. Small deck by the lake is awesome place to watch sunset. ##### Stephen H.

The house is well-equipped, comfortable and charming, and we loved learning about its history. Of course, the best part was the rustic natural shoreline-- we barely saw another person, and it truly felt like our own private paradise. I do suggest bringing water shoes, as the beach is rocky. (But look down-- many of those rocks are Petoskey stones!) ##### Amy C.
