About this property
Family Lakeside Lodge - Private Dock and Beach Access - Close to Boyne Mt!
Lakeside Lodge Retreat in central East Jordan with nearby Charlevoix & Boyne Mountain!
Escape to this stunning, family-friendly Lakeside Lodge in East Jordan, MI, - where comfort meets adventure. Awaken to a sun-drenched bedroom view of Lake Charlevoix. Sip morning coffee on the patio or dock while watching the fog lift. Take an early paddle board or refreshing dip in the lake, have brunch in quaint, downtown Charlevoix and lunch at the incomparable lakeside Landing Restaurant. Plan a day at the beach, one of a dozen nearby golf courses and farmer's markets, or just sightseeing in East Jordan, Boyne City and Charlevoix - all within a short drive or boat cruise.
The lodge sits on beautifully landscaped acreage directly across from Elm Point, a serene beachfront park and your own private boat dock with endless water activities at your fingertips. The dock is located in a cove which provides wind coverage and a designated swim area, assuring slow boat speeds nearby and safe swimming!
Indoors you'll enjoy 5 cozy bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms with large living and play areas. The open-concept great room features comfy lodge-style décor, a wood-burning fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen (including new high-end knives) and panoramic views of forest, maple trees, farm windmill, and of course, Lake Charlevoix. If you must work while you're here, work remotely from the private home office, then unwind by the fire with a drink in hand or by the shoreline as the sun sets over the lake.
Located just 15 minutes from Charlevoix and 22 minutes from Boyne Mountain, the Lakeside Lodge is perfectly positioned for year-round fun — from boating and beach days in summer to skiing and snowboarding in winter. 5 minutes away, East Jordan has a lovely coffee shop (The Iron Goat), ice cream parlor, restaurants, grocery store, a beautiful park, Mallard Golf Club and more!

The host was fantastic. Left us some welcoming gifts that were great. The house was perfect. We hope to come back next time and stay in the same place. Not on the lake, but was a short ride to the launch spot. Thank you.

We absolutely loved staying here for a ski weekend at Boyne. Check in/check out were very easy and the hosts were extremely responsive throughout the weekend. The cabin was well stocked with kitchen supplies, toiletries, extra blankets, board games--everything we could want. I can't imagine an overall easier or better experience, which is no small feat for a group of 19! Everyone is already talking about returning next year--thank you for having us!

There are rare occasions when a property matches its online photos to a “T”… this was one of them. There wasn’t anything out of place here. The host was amazing throughout our stay. No issues, house was cozy, we had literally everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Checking in and out was flawless and expectations were met. If you’re considering this property, book it! The more we moved around the house, the more we appreciated our booking. 100/10!
