Escape to the cozy comforts of the Chardonnay Chalet, a beautifully wooded property located on a private road—perfect for a relaxing getaway. This charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath chalet accommodates couples, families, or groups, with flexible sleeping arrangements for up to 10 guests. Enjoy real beds: 1 king, 3 queens, and 2 twins, plus a glider rocker and playpen/crib for infants or toddlers.

Located just 3 miles from the boat launch (featuring a small beach), you can easily spend your days on the water or exploring nearby lakes. Bring your ORVs or snowmobiles and ride straight from the cottage to the trails, with plenty of parking for trailers.

About the host

Hosted by John & Helen Boeve

Host profile image
Hello! We are excited to be the new owners of this amazing property and be able to offer it to couples and families to enjoy time away to relax and re-connect.

We have been looking for a property that we felt had all the requirements for our vacation home. It is our goal to make this your favorite vacation spot too.

We are Michigan residents living in Zeeland. The short drive for us allows us a great vacation spot for a quick get-a-way, less then 2 hours. We are family that enjoys the outdoors and all the beauty that Michigan has to offer. We hope that sharing our home with you is a blessing to your family.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the view, nature at its best, especially from the three season room. Our family likes to four wheel and snow mobile on the hundreds of miles Baldwin (Lake County) has to offer. We also enjoy the golf coarse right around the corner. We are close enough to home but far enough away to feel like a vacation. The home offers all the amenities you get at home without the stress.

What makes this property unique

The three season room, beautiful deck and hot tub over looking the fire pit area, open concept home, a huge sleeping loft, 60 inch high definition TV with satellite, and internet. It's just a great location! State of the art water filtration system by Culligan for pure clean, soft water without rust.
