Just a great month stay for us. We were very pleased with the three bedroom, three queen size beds, the stocking of the kitchen. It was updated as were the baths with great water pressure. Beautiful lake views and general layout was very functional. Amazing steps with handrails to lake dock with availability of kayaks. We caught fish; poles provided in the garage, which is spacious and usable. Areas for improvement. did not provide sheets and towels, which we knew at the onset. Pete was very responsive for all repairs fixing of lights that were out. He is a very professional manager. Our vacation gets a 10 thanks to Pete.

Would stay again, dock needs to be adjusted so it sits on the water not under water.

Why they chose this property

Escape to the peaceful shores of Chandler Lake, where quiet mornings, calm waters, and towering pines create the perfect Northern Michigan getaway. Spend your days kayaking from the private dock, enjoying lake views from the expansive deck, or gathering around the fire pit just steps from the shoreline. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac directly across from hiking trails, the home feels tucked away in nature while still being only 10 minutes from downtown Traverse City, Cherry Capital Airport, and Grand Traverse Bay beaches, offering the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.
