Experience the beauty of Charlevoix from ‘Bally Aran Loch’ (Gaelic for home on the lake), a 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom vacation rental house located just 25 steps from the shores of Lake Michigan. This custom-designed timber house comes with 121 feet of private waterfront, breathtaking views, and a series of decks overlooking a stunning coastline! When you’re ready to venture out of the house, there is kayaking, fishing, sailing, and paddle-boarding all within minutes of your rental!
Step into the beauty of Lake Michigan from this beautiful house, located just 15 minutes from the heart of Charlevoix. Just a 1/2 mile away, you’ll find Fisherman’s Island State Park with sprawling white sand beaches for launching kayaks or strolling down miles of beach.
When it’s time to go into town, you’ll find no shortage of attractions in Charlevoix. From golf courses, craft beer and wineries, to historic Ernest Hemingway sites and Castle Farms and orchards, this town has enough to keep even the most selective vacationers entertained. The area also features multiple dining and shopping options, as well as stunning gardens and multiple seasonal events.
Great location and beautiful! Spacious, peaceful and roomy enough for a larger group. Spent tons of time outdoors enjoying the view, sounds of the lake and the amazing sunsets!! Thank you for sharing your lake house with us!
From the owner: "Glad you enjoyed your stay! The sunsets are amazing over the water."
We enjoyed our stay at this property very much. Beautiful views of lake ( although we had rough weather for all 5 days of our stay). Loved the open up north feel of property and we all had our private spaces to retreat to. The large kitchen table was the hub of activity through much of our stay - beautiful!
The owner was very responsive to a special request we had once we were staying there.
Reasoning for 4 stars and not 5 -Only negative is pricing. We booked this rental last November for an out of town extended family get a way. As time got closer to our stay, I noticed the price dropped dramatically along with the exorbitant extra fees. I contacted both property management, VRBO and owner.
Did not hear back from VRBO and property management until day before we were to arrive. All would not budge on pricing. This was not what we expected, as we were not staying quite at peak season and as it got closer to peak, pricing was so much lower. I may think twice prior to booking again, even though property was very nice and ideal size - due to feeling taken advantage of.

From the owner: "We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! We do understand the concern for rates having fluctuated closer to your stay. We have a management company that modifies nightly rates based on supply and demand in the area. That said the fees are 100% transparent before any booking and the guest locks in the rate upon booking."
Perfect location to explore the area- Charlevoix, petowy, Mackinac Island, Traverse City, Gish Town, Sleeping Bear Dunes. Come back in the evening for a peaceful spot at the house! Everything you need is here. Although the water was high, it was easy to walk on the rocks and get in the water to look for stones! Highly recommend!
