Ideally located, you are invited to take part in a vacation of unmatched beauty and unrivaled seasonal activities. This Lakefront Beach Chalet Petoskey Michigan Vacation Rental offers year round attractions including water sports steps from your door, great snowmobiling to miles of trails, skiing, golfing and absolutely gorgeous views of the lake.
The shared resort offers 450 feet of waterfront access, with your waterfront chalet being the only one on the one-of-a-kind shallow, hard bottom, sandy beach that stretches out at least 225 feet, with only waist deep water. This combination of beach and park-like atmosphere makes this location the most desirable on Crooked Lake.
The park-like property also features a private marina, with two slips available for your watercrafts 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 15 minutes from your doorstep.
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 30 minutes from the resort.
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 "new and ultimate" Odawa Casino in town. Sorry, no pets allowed.

Awesome Lakefront Chalet Michigan Vacation Rental - Ski Now!
Year Purchased: 1996
The Unique Benefits at this Chalet
Our family is always so excited whenever we go "up north" to our lakefront beach chalet. There is an abundance of "things" to do and the kids never get bored.
The chalet is located very centralized in regards to Mackinaw City, Petoskey, Harbor Springs and the ski hills. We are no more than 30 minutes from Mackinaw which always makes for a nice day trip.
Not to mention the Inland Waterway which our chalet is located on. Traveling Crooked Lake through the lock into Crooked River and then int Burt Lake through Indian River is always a summertime must for our family! So much to see and explore every trip.

Hi,
We are a family of six that love and cherish the experiences we get everytime we visit our Lakefront Chalet just outside of Petoskey. We have watched our kids play, learn and grow and have been cherishing those memories that we have been experiencing for the past 14 years or so at our Beachfront Chalet. We would like to share our unit so you too can experience your own lifelong memories.

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.

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 response:Thanks for the kind words and you are definitely welcome back anytime. You will have to visit us during the summer months sometime!

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.

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.
Owner response:Thank you and you and your family are always welcomed back and especially during the summer months!

Stay at Waters Edge

Review Submitted: 08/23/11
Our family had a wonderful time, the chalet was just as pictured, nice sandy beach, beautiful lake. The lake is great for young children as you can go out quite a ways before the water gets deeper. Lots of things to do in the area. Jim was wonderful to work with. I would recommend this to other family members and friends. The chalet was very clean and well stocked with linens, pot & pans,etc. Jim even has a entire binder of things to do in the area & resturants and all the phone numbers. This was the first time we had rented a lakefront home and we couldn't of been happier. So glad we found this one. We also met some very nice people that were staying in the other cottages at "Waters Edge".
Owner response:Thanks Lisa. We are truely glad that you and your family had a good stay at our Beachfront Chalet. You and your family are always welcome back!

Our family (8 ADULTS 4 KIDS UNDER 8) had a great time here this past July 4. The property was just as described. There was so much room and things to do right on the property. Petoskey is so convenient and also beautiful. We appreciarted being just 40 minutes to Macinac Island. The water and beach were fantastic, and the kids especially loved it. (nice shallow sandy bottom also great kids play area) Camp fires with gorgeous views of the lake ended most nights. We also enjoyed rafting, biking and ice cream! In short this place makes for the perfect summer family vacation!!
Owner response:You and your family are welcome back to enjoy the wonders of a northern Michigan vacation. Thank You!

We stayed for a week with 2 families to enjoy snow skiing and some snowmobiling. The location was great, within 10 minutes of the ski slopes and snowmobile trails close by. The home was very clean and nicely appointed. With its location right on the beach, it seems like it would be a great summer vacation spot as well. The owner was also very nice to work with and accomodating. I would recommend this property.
Owner response:Lori and Kevin, We are glad that you had a good time and welcome you back for your future vacation getaway. Thank You, Debbie & Jim

This cottage was just as discribed. The owner was very helpful and provided lots of information on both the property and the area. We had six adults and had plenty of room for both privacy and group time. Great time to connect with my two sisters and husbands. We found the golf to be spectacular. The beach at the cottage would be ideal for a family with childern. Lots of sand and no sharp drop off in the lake. Scenery was wonderful. Can't wait to come back for more fun and memories.
Owner response:Thanks for the kind words John. We hope that you can stay with us in the near future. Warm regards, Jim

My mom & my sister spent 3 days at this vacation home and had a very nice time. The house is spacious and inviting. Our only complaint is that the sofas are not very comfortable, but everything else is great! We enjoyed beatutiful sunsets each evening and my niece and nephew had a wonderful time playing in the yard when they visited us. If we visit Petoskey again, this will be our place!
Owner response:Thank you, you and your sisters are welcome back anytime. Warm Regards, Jim
