The Belvedere Club, located just south of Charlevoix, Michigan (Northern Michigan) is an elite summer home association nestled between Round Lake and Lake Charlevoix. Members are generally wealthy and come from the Midwest and South. Many prominent and socially elite families have been resorting to the club for generations. The Club is gated and has a gatehouse entrance. The club's grounds include a beach, a tennis club, parks and gardens, and a casino dining club, all of which are private. The grounds lie partly in Charlevoix Township and partly in Marion Township, in Charlevoix County, Michigan.
The club was founded in 1878 by Baptists from Kalamazoo. The club was designated a Michigan State Historic Site on November 14, 1974.[1]
