How long has it been since you counted the constellations on a clear, bright starry night while relaxing in a hot tub? Or listened to the howls of coyotes in a distance or seen a family of wild turkey strolling by? Isn't it time you and your loved ones escape out of the city lights and come up to our northern lights for an extended weekend or even for a week long break.
Our log chalet is cozy enough for honeymooners or couple retreats, (we have many) yet large enough for family and friends! Being off the water may not be your first choice, but our guests say it is their best choice. They say why spend the beach front $$$ on Torch Lake when they can affordably have everything here and more like a pontoon to rent, privacy, wide expansive sunsets, a clean and bubbly hot tub under the starry night, wildlife, many walking trails and views in wide open and wooded acreage.
Rent our pontoon and spend the day basking under the sun on the famous Torch Lake Sandbar!!! Our log chalet with our large party deck, is large enough for families and friends but cozy and romantic enough for couples. Our chalet overlooks magnificent sunsets and tree tops views from a spacious shaded deck.
Many 5 star reviews best describes this log chalet rental on 140 private acres during all 4 seasons! Nestled in the hills near the south end of the beautiful clean waters of Torch Lake we offer privacy, comfort, and great memories!! Our Number one Attraction is the World's Third Most Beautiful Lake, TORCH LAKE and our Famous Sandbar!! We are 10 minutes from Turtle Creek Casino and 20 minutes from Traverse City foodie restaurants and festivals with Meijers shopping between the two.
We are a day's outing to the most popular ski resorts, Sleeping Bear Dunes, or the Big Mac Bridge and Mackinac Island.
Winter time is fun in the Pure Michigan snow! Close to Traverse City and all the ski resorts, cross country skiing, festivals, specialty restaurants, snow sledding, ice fishing. All winter sports near by! Plus, come back to the chalet, go snow shoeing on our property and soak under the stars in our sparkling clean hot tub! Catch Spring fever here and make it last until summer! Wild flowers, mushroom hunters, stream and lake fishing. Rent our fishing pontoon. Come back to our fresh and clean outdoor hot tub and count how many constellations you can see. Summer is full of life here! Why pay the high price of shoreline rent when we have the perfect spot for Torch Lake fun plus a nice pontoon to rent !! IMAGINE, laying out in the blazing sun on the famous Torch Lake Sandbar by day and counting the stars from our fresh clean hot tub by night. We can sleep up to 9 in beds. Never run out of hot water with our state of the art hot water system.
Honeymoons, Reunions, Family Get-a-ways! Our log chalet's hillside setting is the prettiest and most peaceful vacation rental in the south Torch Lake area.
All year long, the Torch Lake/ Traverse City area is buzzing with events, festivals, concerts, restaurants, wineries,and shopping!
Our detailed cabin is furnished with all the necessities inside including quality cookware, linens and towels! You will never run out of hot water for showers because we have an on demand hot water heater. We clean the hot tub and its filters between each renter and fill it will fresh hot water before you arrive. We also have a fire pit to roast those marshmallows while watching the panoramic sunsets from our cedar swing!
You can rent our pontoon for the day for fishing, playing, or relaxing on the famous Torch Lake sandbar just 5 minutes away. On our property, there are many walking trails and places to sit to take in the views or engage in conversation with your friends. We hope you will consider coming to our secluded chalet with awesome views. And we care about your safety and have added a security camera pointed down the drive from the peak.
