Awesome Family Vacation Beach Chalet - Reserve your Winter Ski/FUN Time!

Ideally located, you are invited to this Petoskey Michigan lakefront chalet family vacation rental of unmatched beauty and unrivaled seasonal activities. This Chalet offers year attractions including water sports steps from your door, great snowmobiling to miles of trails, skiing, golfing and absolutely gorgeous views of the lake.

With all the area has to offer with its unique shops, boutiques and art galleries located in Petoskey's Gas Light District and Harbor Springs, shopping should definitely be on you list of things to do. You may also want to see if Lady Luck is with you at the Odawa Casino in town.

The shared resort offers 450 feet of waterfront access, with a one-of-a-kind shallow, hard bottom, sandy beach that stretches out at least 300 ft., with only waist deep water. This combination of beach and park-like atmosphere makes this location the most desirable on Crooked Lake. The CIRCULAR STAIRCASE leads to the two bedrooms on the second floor. Two bedrooms on the lower lever. Sorry. NO pets allowed.

The park-like property also features a private marina, with two slips available for your water crafts of up to 26 feet. Also included is a volleyball court, horseshoe pit, multiple fire pits and most of all, a tranquil setting for relaxing on a wooden swing, to watch the boats go by, read a novel or watch the fantastic sunrises or sunsets from the point.

From the lake, you can cruise the famous and historic inland waterway. It starts on Crooked Lake, goes to Burt Lake to Mullett Lake, then out to Lake Huron! There are two marinas located within 2 miles for your watercraft rental needs.

Fall is a special time of year when the trees come alive with vibrant colors. Many areas to view the color changes are great, but there is nothing as commanding as the Tunnel of Trees, along the shore of Lake Michigan. This area is just north of Harbor Springs about 20 minutes from your Petoskey Waterfront Rental.

Skiing and snowmobiling makes this the Midwest's Premier Winter Destination, with trails just waiting to be ridden. The ski resorts of Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob are only about 10 minutes from your chalet. The snowmobile trails are right out your door! Ice skating, sledding sleigh rides and ice fishing are also just a sampling of what is in store for you during your dream vacation.

Spring time bring out colorful blooms and the 21 championship golf courses open for the avid golfer, which are all within 25 miles of the resort. Hikers will also enjoy this time of the year, for its many trails and paths are waiting to be explored once again. Do not forget to visit the mighty Mackinaw Bridge and Island. It is only about 25 minutes from your Petoskey Michigan Lakefront Beach Chalet Vacation Rental.

Perfect place for us to stay!

We had a fantastic stay at this lake house! The property was clean, spacious, and exactly as described. The views of the lake were stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset—truly picture-perfect. The house itself was well-stocked with all the essentials, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches like board games, extra blankets, and a fully equipped kitchen. The outdoor seating areas were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Communication with the host was seamless, and they were quick to respond to any questions. We had an incredibly relaxing and memorable stay and would love to return in the future. Highly recommend this spot for a quiet, lakefront getaway!

Cozy w/ a great location!

We loved this little house right on the water. Big on sleeping space, though a little tight for congregating as a whole group in any one space, it fit the bill for the six adults we had. Host was very communicative and flexible. Thanks, it was a great stay!

Nice Family get away

Very nice and clean place located near all the area hot spots. Nice beach in front with large fire pit rings for beach fires. Easy to rent boats at local marina (Ryde) for trips up the inland passage way or around crooked lake. My only complaint is the road noise which is pretty loud in back bedrooms. I turned the fan on and that helped. Overall a really nice place. Thanks for sharing.

fall getaway

This was a beautiful property that was well located in the middle of many of the area's popular attractions. This is a beautiful area in the fall, and it's perfect to come back to a fire on the private beach. The balcony that overseas the lake that is attached to one of the bedrooms, is amazing to lay out on at night time and watch the stars. I would recommend this place a 100%

Great Vacation spot

Great place to relax and right on the lake for easy access. Our family enjoyed the closeness of Petosky for driving and other area activities. The chalet was well equipped. The spiral staircase was a little narrow but we managed. Nice place to get away from it all but still had activities within an hours drive

Beautiful Lakeside Home

We had an amazing time here. We went snowboarding and the mountain was a short 10 minute drive. The house was clean, comfortable and the kids loved the fact that it was "a triangle house." We plan on coming back in the summer!

Amazing property

This was one of our best stays. We came to celebrate my moms 80th birthday and for a quick weekend getaway this was just what we wanted. The house was beautiful and fully equipped with all modern amenities. The beds were super comfy and we all had a blast. It did rain but staying inside and playing games made it such a great getaway and the town for shopping was super close. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back. Thanks Jim for a wonderful place to stay

Good beach!

Nicely equipped and located (a few minutes to Petosky). Loved having the beach out the front door and a place to fish for the kids. Next summer we will look for a cottage a little bigger with bigger beds for our family of 9. Although the picture and description lets you think the beachfront is yours, you are actually sharing it with four other cottages.

Lakefront Chalet in MI

We stayed for three nights between Chistmas and New Years. Although we didn't get to enjoy the beach & lake because of the season, (they look great though!) the house was very nice, clean, well maintained, and had all the ammenities for a cozy stay. The upstairs is particularly spacious and attractive. It is well located - within 20 minutes of the ski hills and downtown Petoskey. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay there again.

Charming home in beautiful location

Kitchen is newly remodeled. Location right on the lake is beautiful and was convenient to skiing at Boyne Highlands and Petoskey/Harbor Springs for restaurants. It was clean overall. Beds were a bit small, but we knew they were doubles, so I expected that. Comforters needed updated. Overall a pleasant stay for our group of 4 adults and 4 children.

Exceeds expectations!

We enjoyed this property and our vacation so much . This house is so well equipped down to the last marshmallow roasting fork that we didn’t need to purchase anything extra. We had a beach out our front door that our 3 year old granddaughter enjoyed everyday. We enjoyed watching her from the covered deck and ate all our meals on the deck picnic table. The house was immaculate and it was great to have the stackable washer dryer in the house. The other cottages owners and vacationers were so nice also!

Doesn't get any better!

We have rented this place for 8 consecutive years and enjoy it more every year! Great location and amenities. New this year, just across the street, is access is to a 32 mile long walking, jogging, biking trail which adds to the already many activities to do in the area. The boat slip is a plus for boat owners. The chalet is clean, modern and very comfortable. No matter what your interests are there is something for people of all ages to enjoy here whether it be swimming, boating, fishing, golfing, biking, shopping, sightseeing or just plain wiggling your toes in the sandy beach. It doesn't get any better than this!
