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.

Adorable lake house
We had a wonderful experience at this cozy lake house. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was impeccably clean. The check-in process was smooth and easy, which was a big plus. While there is no central air, the portable AC unit in the living room and fans in the bedrooms helped cool the space, though it was still a bit humid. A few rooms had a slight musty smell, but it wasn't a dealbreaker. The real bonus was the access to a fire pit, canoe, and kayaks—though, unfortunately, we couldn’t take advantage of them due to the weather and the short length of our stay. Some of the landscaping could be trimmed back so it’s easier to access the sidewalk. Overall, it was a pleasant stay in a peaceful location.

Beautiful Lakefront View and pet friendly
This place was great, the view of the lake is gorgeous! The owner goes above and beyond, and is super responsive! Lots of fun things to do in the area. There are kayaks and canoes you can take out and explore beautiful Susan Lake. Charlevoix is right around the corner and you’re a quick drive to Petoskey. We’ll definitely stay here again!!

Cute rental near Charlevoix
Nice place for a family. Property owner was super friendly and great with communicating. Would definitely stay again. I would just be mindful that it does get hot without AC. We stayed mid July and lucked out with gorgeous weather but it got quite hot in the house in the evening.

Think twice!
We arrived and opened the door to an overpowering and unpleasant scent of wet dog.The house was hot and smelled extremely musty, almost like it has been closed up and with no air flow for weeks.There were other issues but worst was the heat mixed w wet dog smell that would not subside. At first, the host seemed willing to work with us. She admitted that the house was on a crawl space and that she didn't understand why it smelled b/c she had just been there earlier to change the damp rid, which shows that she knew there was an issue, which she later denied. When I communicated with her that the smell and heat combined were so bad that we were thinking of leaving, she agreed that she would "work with us" and give us a partial refund for our inconvenience. We were unable to find alternate lodging on the spot, unfortunately so we were stuck using it as just a place to sleep and avoided the house the rest of the time. Owner had to know there was a smell and mustiness issue, b/c she even offered to order a dehumidifer and have it delivered to the porch the next morning! She not only reneged on her promise of a partial refund but then accused us of making up our concerns and being "impossible" people to work with.The back table outside was covered with grime and leaves. Old porch was dipping down in spots,hurt my ankle trying to haul luggage while balancing w no rail.Broken tv in bedroom, and more,but main prob.was rude treatment from host after issues were brought up respectfully.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and well maintained and only a short distance from downtown Charlevoix. There was firewood and sticks available to have a nice fire down by the water. We would definitely recommend the home to others and would stay there again.
