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. 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 11.

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 Holles 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 nine acres behind 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 separate stone ice house building next to the main house has been converted into game room, “Kid Cave”, for both kids and adults. Includes a full size arcade air hockey table and basketball pro shot game. (Available summer season only) Ironton Shore Farms, truly a Vintage Vacation Destination, and classic Lake Charlevoix experience. (Optional pontoon boat available upon request) *beach area is dependent on water level

** 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

Family Vacation

Great space and location for family vacation. We brought bikes and a canoe and were familiar with the area from multiple family camping trips. We love the outdoors and the location on the water allowed us to go on sunrise paddles have a couple lakeside campfire hot dog roasts and s'mores. Nate was awesome and so responsive before and during the trip! He provided firewood and drinking water, and lots of great advice about things to do including local resources when we had a car issue. The free pedestrian ferry ride to the lakeside restaurant was a nice perk. We have several runners in the family and since the road dead ends at the ferry, the roads felt very safe for running. The house had ample space for our group, and we cooked a few meals in the well equipped kitchen.

Nice time

Cool spot with lots of amenities. Beach is a little rocky so not ideal for small children, but there’s a great public park with sandy beach and shallow water just a few minutes down the road. Nate was great!

Charlevoix the Beautiful

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?

Great Experience and Location

Nate was a great host - quick response time and considerate! He brought a generous amount of firewood out for us to the firepit. Farmhouse was charming, welcoming and well appointed. A great place for a group of friends to gather!! Loved the ferry access and the nearby Landing restuarant!! Would definitely stay again.

Great location, attentive owner/manager

Check-in was nice and simple. Nate, the owner, was there to greet us and give us tips about the house and property to make our stay better. There were plenty of beds and towels and Nate brought firewood to the beach for our fire pit. Nate had a net set up in the back yard for volleyball and bad mitten. The beach setup is great with a nice deck, chairs, and lounges. The dock and mooring ball were super convenient for our boat use. Thanks for everything Nate!

It was a cute old farm house with plenty of beds and wonderful views.

We came to town for a wedding at Castle farms which was just down the road with a short ferry ride. House was well equipped with most things we needed. Big yard with a nice beach access down across the street. We enjoyed the deer that seemed to be always around enjoying the apples that where falling from the trees in the yard. My kids loved the area and house, they where sad to leave. It was a very charming old farm house and peaceful area.

Great stay!

This house is in a great location, with a lot of yard space and a great dock setup just across the street. Quick ferry ride right next door to a fun restaurant on the other side of the water and it's a great lake. Property owner was very attentive and helpful throughout our trip. The lack of A/C upstairs proved a bit difficult due to a few humid nights - would be helpful just to get some window units. Otherwise, great stay and highly recommend it. Thanks for everything!

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.

Fun week on the lake

We had a great time. The house is an older farm house, but it had everything we needed. The property is large with a lot of green space, and the access to the water is very nice. The only issue is that the lake is across the road, which can be lined up with cars parked and waiting for a ferry, but it didn’t interfere with our stay too much. We brought our boat and this location was perfect access point to explore everything Lake Charlevoix has to offer.
