Owner's Map of Beulah
We started fishing for Steelhead and Salmon over 20 years ago and fell in love with the Northwest corner of Michigan for fishing and for family trips to see the colors in the fall. Our family and friends have come to love the Chalet as the perfect get away for any season. I hope you will, too.

Just came back …. Rented house for 4 of July weekend, got there on the 1st, and right away got in love with the scenery. The Chalet is hidden in the woods; it is so quiet and beautiful…. We were a group of 16, and have enough beds for everybody. Two kitchens, makes it easier when you travel with kids, we used both. Kids loved the build in bunk beds that was their private hideaway place from adults. The house is filled with more than enough pillows, sheets, blankets, towels, and even with all the spices in the kitchen, are ready for you to use. Amazing!!!! Loved it!!! Without any doubt would rent it again.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.

Just stayed in this house last weekend with three other families to enjoy skiing on Crystal Mountain and the house was perfect. The kids (ages 11 to 17) all loved the built in bunk beds. The bedrooms were so nice and clean and the beds were very comfortable. I absolutely love the antiques and all the woodwork in the house. They provide you with more than enough towels, pillows, sheets, etc. I was amazed by all the kitchen ware, spices, and everything you need to cook up a meal. We had 17 people in our group and this place was PERFECT! We absolutely loved it and would rent it again.
