Fantastic Property
We loved this property. Traveled with my 4 kids (11-20) and a dog It was a well stocked house, including a small but well stocked kitchen, towels, bedding, games, movies, and fun lake entertainment. Everyone slept comfortably, there wasn't a bad room in the house. Despite the lack of AC, in July we stayed cool with the provided fans and open windows. Great fishing in the lake, fun to paddle and swim in, with a floating dock and platform. Lily pads and trilliums on the property thrilled my plant loving heart. Parking was close and easy. Location was great for exploring everything from Mackinac Island to Traverse city. Really, everything was perfect. Loved this place. 10/10 would stay again.

Beautiful up north getaway
We loved this sweet chalet. It was cozy and had so many extra little touches. Super comfortable beds, great game selections for the kids, kayaks/paddle boats/fishing poles all provided with the listing. We had a great breeze and plenty of windows and fans that made even hot days feel cool for sleeping. The little retro touches were adorable and overall we just were very satisfied with the cabin. Of course the view was amazing and the quiet lake was great for kayaking and fishing. Jared was a rockstar who checked on us and made sure all our needs were met! He went above and beyond! As far as the location we were a simple 10 minutes to groceries, shops and dining. It felt like a country get away but really was so close to everything we needed. We’d definitely recommend this spot!!

About the host

Hosted by Jared

Host profile image
Hi there, my name is Jared. I purchased this chalet as my vacation home in Northern Michigan after falling in love with the charming region and the secluded/quaint Martin Lake. Whenever I visit this home, it always felt like a perfect escape, hidden away in the woods and by the peaceful water, far away from big city crowd/noises, but still very close to Gaylord (restaurants, grocery stores, movie theater) and countless tourist attractions in the area (towns, resorts, golf, ski, etc.). I want to share my home with others, so more people can enjoy what this area has to offer. I strive to provide the best guest experience possible and always welcome your suggestions/feedback. :-)
