This is the place to stay!
Submitted: June 7, 2010
Stayed: May 2010
I was planning a family gateway up north, and the biggest decision to make was where to stay. I wanted to go to different places, including Mackinac, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Travel City... so the location was very important to us.
Once I saw the add for this Chalet I initially thought: "This is too good to be true". (Actually it turned out to be even better than expected). The first thing I did was to contact Jim; he was extremely nice, very reasonable, helpful, enthusiastic, and efficient. It was a pleasure to make business with him.
Once I got to the Chalet, it was exactly what I expected... actually it looks even better than the pics. It is gorgeous! Just by the lake with a private beach. The Chalet is equipped with everything you need. Four bedrooms with ceiling fans and an amazing balcony in the second floor, two bathrooms with enough supplies, very nice fireplace in the living room, brand new plasma, big kitchen with everything you need. But the best part is the view! Gorgeous view... to seat by the lake, bonfire, some grill, and relax. Everything the add says is there. The property is in perfect conditions. Jim makes sure that you feel at home, and actually provides you with a Binder with all the activities, dinning, Marinas of the area. I felt I was in a Resort. We were there late May and actually were able to swim in the lake. I am from Dominican Republic and you would imagine that I am used to great beaches with white sand. But this was actually very nice. The Crooked Lake had very clean water, sand up to ~1 mile, calm.... it was perfect.
The location was one of the best things. It was really central. Just took us 25mins to get to Mackinaw City, 10mins from Petoskey downtown, 15mins from Charlevoix, about an hour from the Dunes (Traverse City). It made our lives easier. We spend all mornings traveling and knowing these amazing places, and in the afternoons enjoying the Chalet.
I am a physician working at the Detroit Medical Center, and I can guarantee that you will not regret renting this property. Jim is amazing and he will make sure that you have everything you need.

Girls Fall Weekend
Submitted: November 7, 2012
Stayed: November 2012
Enjoyed a nice long fall weekend in this beautiful and nicely appointed chalet. It was on a nice beach and pennisula with everything you could need, especially for summer getaways. Such a great location - visit Petoskey, Harbor Springs and if you want a short road trip - Mackinac and Traverse City. Great amount of towels, pillows and kitchenware so you don't have to bring a thing. Highly recommend and would consider staying again.
Owner's Response: Thanks for staying with us and we are glad that you enjoyed your "girls weekend getaway." You and your guests are always welcome back!

Jim, Your home was perfect for our family with small children... Right on the beach - the kids loved the shallow lake and beach - and also loved the volleyball and basketball right next to the cabin! It was centrally located allowing us easy day trips to Mackinac Island and Charlevoix... We went in Petoskey a number of times too. Your house is wonderful too - very comfortable with beautiful views... We had a great week and can't wait to come back!
Owner's Response: Thank you for the kind words. You and your family are always welcome at out Chalet on the Beach.

Girls just want to have fun
Submitted: June 11, 2012

This is the perfect spot for a girl's weekend trip. Our group of 7 especially loved the comfortable homey atmosphere of the chalet. The kitchen is fully equipped, the beds are very comfortable, there is an abundance of soft fluffy towels, and you can even hear the waves hitting the shore at night. All you need to bring is your clothes! We wish we could have had a chance to sit by the campfire, the rain stopped us from enjoying a night under the stars, but it did not deter us from having a great time. We are already making plans to stay again next year, and hopefully we can enjoy the beautiful shoreline in the beach chairs sipping a tall cool one. Nearby Petoskey, Charlevoix and Harbor Springs offer unique and eclectic shops, wine tasting and tours and many wonderful restaurants. We especially enjoyed an Irish pub in Harbor Springs, Teddy Griffin's, be sure to put them on your list of places to go, great atmosphere, great food and friendly bartenders! One last thing, working with the owner of this chalet was a delight, thanks Jim for all your help in making our extended weekend such a special one.

Wonderful place to stay

This house is a wonderful place to stay. We stay here for two nights and it is closed to Boyne Highland where we went to ski. The house is clean and has 6 double beds which is nice for a group of people. And the lake view is beautiful outside the house. I definitely recommend it to my friends. We really enjoy our stay.

This home is absoultely perfect! Everything you need to enjoy time in the Petoskey/Harbor Springs area! We stayed in this home for a long weekend with our family and a friend's family---4 adults and 5 kids---and there was PLENTY of space. The home is less than 10 minutes from Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob, and also conveniently located for a quick trek down to Boyne Mountain & the indoor waterpark. Even though we visited during winter, we enjoyed the peaceful lakefront and gorgeous sunsets over the lake. I can only imagine how spectacular it would be to stay in the summer.....
The layout of the home-- 2 bedrooms & a bathroom with shower upstairs, and 2 bedrooms & a bathroom and shower on the main floor---was excellent for 2 families to share. The kitchen was well appointed & the home was extremely clean and obviously well cared for.
Last but not least, and perhaps most importantly, the customer service was excellent. Jim is extremely responsive and helpful. The home had a binder with pages and pages of local attractions & activities. And, Jim went above and beyond when one of our 5 year olds forgot his pillow at the house----finding it and getting it shipped home. It was a pleasure renting this home. I would highly recommend it to families and friends, and we will return for sure!
Thanks again for a wonderful vacation!

Winter Ski Trip

Stayed: February 2012
This was our second year renting this property and yes, it is truly awesome! The cottage is fantastic, roomy, completely equipped, and they even let you use the fireplace! All linens and towels were provided, toilet paper, paper towel, wow! This year we had 7 people stay and everyone LOVED the cottage and they want to book it again for next year. Also, the cottage is right on the lake (we were able to easily see the ice shanties) and I bet it would be great in the summer too. Furthermore, it is conveniently close to Nubs and Boyne, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and I75. Very easy to get to. The owner was very easy to work with, property was clean. I would definitely recommend this rental!
Owner's Response: Thanks for the kind words and you are definitely welcome back anytime. You will have to visit us during the summer months sometime!

Ski Rental House
Submitted: January 11, 2012
Stayed: January 2012
The rental house was beautiful. Plenty of room for everyone. Property was very clean, organized and maintained. The owner was very easy to work with and provided a lot of communication with us prior to us picking the house. The location was great - less than 10 minute drive to boyne highlands and downtown Petowski. Also, the cleaning crew (after we left) found my little charm from my bracelet. The owner contacted us with this information even before I had a chance to ask him if it was found. We for sure recommend the property and hope to get to go back - next time in the summer to enjoy the lake.

The cabin is spacious, clean, extremely well maintained and has wonderful amenities. It is very well located with awesome views over the crooked lake and within a few minutes of two good ski resorts. A very good deal for a winter weekend!
