Ironton Shore Farms: 4 Bedroom Farmhouse on Lake Charlevoix with Beach and dock

Enjoy the breathtaking views of Lake Charlevoix and the Ironton narrows from your own private beach/lake access and sun deck. On Bring your boat, the private dock and mooring ball are included. Sitting on 2 beautiful green acres on the shores of Ironton Cove rests an early 1900s immaculately furnished farm house offering four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Sleeps 10.

It's like taking a step back in time. At the foot of the historic Ironton Ferry and only seven miles from Boyne City, the location is perfect. Crossing the Ironton Ferry, downtown Charlevoix is 5 miles away, and only 3 miles from Northern Michigans premiere wedding destination venue, Castle Farms. Across the narrows from your beach is the Landings Restaurant, Lake Charlevoix's premier lakefront dining. Enjoy a casual round of golf at Ye Nyne Olde Holes Golf Club just down the road. Perfect location for winter vacationers as well, with Boyne Mountain Ski Resort only a 15 minute drive. The property also conducive for cross country skiing, snow shoeing and snowmobilers, with access to the lake as well as the great big front and back yard the farm house for your own recreational use. Perfect for all four seasons; from the hot summer days lounging on the sun deck, to the crisp Autumn afternoons during color tour, to the majestic winter landscape that northern Michigan has to offer. This property has it all.

For the kids, a volleyball and badminton net set up in the side yard for more outdoor family fun.

** IMPORTANT NOTE ** This house is located on a large property with other adjacent Vrbo rentals that when rented together function as a great family getaway compound, perfect for a group vacation. See Vrbo # 1834689 and # 2019555

Eight people (including kids 5, 3 and 4 mths) found that this home had something for everyone. The beach, the ferry, a restaurant/bar and outdoor spaces kept us busy. When it was cold and rainy we took advantage of the game table and listened to records. It was important to us that there was open floor space to roll around so we had plenty of room to play

This home had wonderful old farmhouse charm and was perfect for our family ski trip to Boyne. There was plenty of room for everyone, and we had a great stay. Nate was a fantastic host with excellent communication—he even shoveled and salted the walk before our arrival, which we really appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.

Our host Nate really went the extra mile, and provided firewood and a ready made fire down at the beach for us. We forgot to bring a bluetooth speaker, and he hustled over 2 of them for us to use right away! The property is charming and well appointed with extra’s that made our stay wonderful ( Bottled water, paper towels, good supply of cooking pots and utensils. Communications were always answered in a timely manner from Nate. I would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a peaceful getaway Up North or for a family event like a Wedding. We will be back for sure!

Lovely Farm House

We enjoyed staying at the Farmhouse while we were spending the weekend skiing. We had room to spread out. We loved the record collection and had a blast playing them when we were back from the slopes in the evenings. Nate was super responsive when we had questions. We would stay again if we were in the area.

Our family rented this home so we could go to a Friday Night Wedding. What a wonderful home to stay at. Even though we were unable to use all of the outside facilities available to us due to the fact it rained the entire weekend. Family members enjoyed it so much they asked when can we come back?

Everything that could have possibly went wrong did go wrong at the outset of our trip: the Heat wouldn't work, the electricity went out in the common areas, etc. Nevertheless, I am giving Nate a 5-Star review for his property because of how quickly he responded to everything, even getting a Handyman in very late at night to fix everything and get us up and running so that on Day 2 we were having the time of our lives. Thanks Nate - we are grateful for your slice of Ironton paradise and will be back!

Space to Roam

The property was great and Nate was the best host. Our family had a lot of fun playing in the yard, sitting on the porch and beach deck. We did realize we needed to purchase drinking water as the home’s water I am guessing was high in iron. We enjoyed being able to catch the ferry so easily.
