Enjoy firepit season on Lake Charlevoix, where peaceful lake views meet the vibrant colors of fall. Relax by the fire as the leaves change, or take in the crisp autumn scenery from your lakefront retreat.

Just 5 minutes from downtown Boyne City, you’ll have easy access to fall dining, local shops, and seasonal activities while still enjoying the peaceful feel of a private lakefront escape.

Guests will have full access to the home during their stay! There is a utility room in the walkout basement that is locked for some of the owner's personal belongings. There is also a closet in the upstairs bedroom that remains locked for the owner's personal belongings.

The quickest and best way to reach me is through the platform messenger. Please reach out if you have any questions!

If there is an emergency, please call 911 FIRST, then reach out to me over the platform.

Set on Lake Charlevoix's quiet north shore near the small community of Advance, this home offers a rare combination: genuine lakefront seclusion just 5 minutes from downtown Boyne City. You get long stretches of wooded, low-density shoreline and real privacy on the water, without giving up easy access to town — restaurants, shops, ice cream, and the marina are a quick drive away, not a production. Advance itself is barely a village: a historic general store, a handful of homes, and not much else, which is exactly the appeal for guests who want quiet over crowds.

The rest of the area builds out from there: Young State Park (beach, trails, camping) and Boyne Mountain Resort are both within reasonable driving range for day trips, and Charlevoix's drawbridge and Lake Michigan beaches are a scenic drive around or across the lake.

A car is the practical way to get here and around the area — this is rural lakefront, not a walkable downtown location, so plan on driving for groceries, dining, and day trips. Downtown Boyne City is just a 5-minute drive, so day-to-day errands and dinners out are easy.

- Smoking is NOT allowed indoors. Any evidence of smoking inside will result in a surcharge.

-Renters may use lakefront dock, but per Township regulation, only watercraft owned by the property owners may be stored or moored at the dock. Further, the dock is also shared among the neighbors.

-The lake and dock are located across the street.


This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and security deposit. We know security deposits are annoying, so to make it easier on you we have 2 options that you can choose between:

Option 1: Damage Waiver ($47) - Have a worry-free stay with coverage for up to $1500 for accidental damage (spills, breaks, mishaps) with no surprise charges. Just relax and enjoy your stay. Coverage up to 10 nights, +$4/day for longer stays, and provided by a third-party insurance company.

Option 2: Security Deposit ($2,500) - Refundable temporary hold that releases after your stay.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it's a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
