House on Susan Lake, Charlevoix, Michigan

8171 Shrigley Rd., Charlevoix, MI 49720

3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home located on Susan Lake. Susan Lake is 5.4 miles from downtown Charlevoix. It’s a shallow, narrow lake, and flows out the northern end 2 miles emptying into Lake Michigan. Enjoy the call of loons on Susan Lake, or kayak and fish the spring-fed waters.

Campfire pit, firewood and outdoor seating is also provided. Quiet time starts at 10:00 pm when outside.

Dogs are allowed, any size, but MUST BE ON LEASH when outside. This is mandatory. My neighbors have dogs and there are free range chickens right across the road. There is a $45 pet fee.

Miles of hiking trails through untouched forest and stunning water views from hilltops nearby. Several parks with stunning views and fishing piers are also located in the area.
Greensky Hill Indian United Methodist Church is a historical site, also on the shores of Susan Lake.
LITTLE TRAVERSE WHEELWAY is a paved and non-motorized trail that stretches 26 miles from Charlevoix to Harbor Springs along the coast of Little Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan.

Family reunion

Cottage is a short drive into Charlevoix. The drive was a little longer with it being venetian festival and all the traffic. That being said, it was great to be out a little ways and on lovely lake susan. Beds were comfortable, coffee, waters and toiletries were all provided which was super nice. We enjoyed our stay!

Bang for your buck kind of stay

Check in was easy and communication with Kathy was clear—she told us we could stay past the checkout time, which made for a lovely last morning on our trip. The house was nestled in trees and looks out onto the lake; the views were great! The house itself was perfectly functional and we especially appreciated the coffee, thought we’d wished the listing specified that there’s no central AC (just one window unit in the living room). We visited in August and it took us 2 days to cool down the house using the unit and fans to get it comfortable for sleeping. Everything was clean, but it did smell like someone used to smoke in this house. All told though, we felt like we got a great value for our money and loved the lake front setting.
