This lovely century-old log cabin combines ambiance, location, unparalleled sunset views, and modern amenities into an authentic “Up North” vacation experience. The cottage is on a bluff overlooking Grand Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan, with 200 feet of private shoreline below. Spacious, comfortable, well-appointed rooms retain the original charm of an earlier era while providing the features and conveniences you seek for optimal relaxation. While private and peaceful, the central location (about 10 miles south of Charlevoix) is also the gateway to dozens of recreational opportunities and adventures throughout the region. Petoskey/Harbor Springs, Traverse City, Boyne Falls, the Leelanau Peninsula, and the Mackinac Bridge are all an hour—or less—away. The true heart of Northern Michigan is waiting for your visit! TAKE A WALK THROUGH THE COTTAGE A cozy bedroom is found on the main level with an adjoining bath and laundry, which gives a sleeping space apart from the upstairs loft bedroom with another adjacent half bath. If you still need to stay connected with work, there are two great desk areas in the loft to accommodate that, along with another sleeping nook with a twin bed – perfect for extra guest space or an afternoon nap. If that’s not the space for you, the sitting room at the end of the cottage offers a chase and recliner, perfect for your easel, parchment, or a great book. Put a puzzle together in front of the west window; the romance of the lake in front of you is breathtaking. Birches and cedars add depth to the quiet waters of the sunset or a cushion from the roiling daytime surf. As a bonus, this room can be cordoned off with newly installed barn rail doors, giving you complete solitude. Peace abounds if that is your goal. Embrace the charm of lake living! While the cottage does not have air conditioning, you’ll find fans throughout the home and screened windows that invite in refreshing lake breezes, helping keep the space cool and airy during the warmer months. OUTDOOR AMENITIES The backyard overlooks the lake and has a picnic table and charcoal grill. Grilling tools, skewers, and grill cleaners/wire brushes are provided. There’s also a seating area around a firepit for use in light/calm winds. ABOUT THE PRIVATE LAKEFRONT Shallow water extends outward from the beach at least 100 feet, but the bottom is stony—water shoes make exploring much easier. Bring or rent kayaks for paddles along the shoreline, where you may just spot an eagle. The Big Lake is a magnificent freshwater treasure, but can also be unpredictable; always pay attention to the waves and the skies when venturing into the water. There are also two small (township) beachfront parks within a couple minutes drive (easily within biking distance, too), or you can lounge on the cabin’s 200 feet of private shoreline. Sand chairs, a beach umbrella, and a few float toys are provided. LOCATION US-31 is the main highway access, the road that takes you south to Elk Rapids/Traverse City and north to Charlevoix/Petoskey (and beyond!). The residential road to the cabin is known for its scenic beauty, where you’ll want to take many gorgeous walks. Farm markets, fruit stands, orchards, wineries, and casual or fine dining are all minutes away. But do not be shocked or bedeviled if you decide never to leave the cabin where the birds dance among the cedars. \*\*IMPORTANT: Please use only the natural landscaped path to access the lakefront; do not attempt to climb down the hillside in any other areas.  NEARBY DESTINATIONS Downtown Charlevoix: 12.6 miles Downtown Traverse City: 44 miles Downtown Petoskey: 29.6 miles Downtown Boyne City: 30 miles Friske's Farm Market (Pizza): 5.4 miles King Orchards: 13.8 miles Rowe Inn Restaurant (Famous Dining & Wine List): 13.3 miles Fisherman's State Park (Beach, Trails, Hiking, Fishing): 3.3 miles Cherry Capital Airport (Traverse City): 42.3 miles Beaver Island: 2-hour ferry ride out of Charlevoix ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers ### Ski - Close to skiing ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### 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 - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Windsurfing 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) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/83000000/82995200/82995176/213f538b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2-bedroom cottage sleeps 5 just a short walk to Torch Lake Central Lake - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.2 Wonderful 37 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-31&endDate=2025-11-01&selected=82995176&PinnedHotelID=82995176&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116760000/116757300/116757259/35593c77.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom w/loft Torch Lake lakefront!
