Nubs Nob Ski Trip

Great stay at the base of Nubs Nob. It’s a little further than you probably want to walk in ski boots, but a very short drive. The A-frame was the perfect place for us to stay. We would definitely go back.

We Love this Chalet!

This is our family's second time staying at this chalet and we had another fabulous stay. So close to Nubs (and easy drive to Highlands). It snowed heavily just before we arrived and the driveway was plowed and steps / porch also cleared off. It was lovely to arrive to a clean and cozy house after surviving our white-out drive to Harbor Springs! The chalet is set up well for skiers with lots of hooks to hang gear on. We had a great trip - thank you Gary!

Great ski spot!

This was the perfect spot for us! There was plenty of space for all four of us (our two teenage sons were with us). We were able to cook meals and walk to the slopes. It was so easy to communicate with the owner too with the few questions we had. The only thing I would caution is if you’re going in the winter, make sure you have 4 wheel drive. We had several inches of snow while we were there and the driveway and road didn’t get plowed until the following day. We can’t wait to stay there again!

Nubs Nob ski trip

Great spot for our ski weekend with 11,13, & 15 year olds. Super clean & well stocked chalet. Driveway was steep but we handled fine in our awd vehicle. Bathroom shower door was very squeaky, beware for early riser or late night showers as it woke up our crew. We will be back to this awesome place!

About the host

Hosted by Gary Pateman

Local Petoskey residents :) We love where we live:
- the lakes and rivers
- wooded walking trails and waterfront bicycle path
- great local dining, bars, breweries, wineries
- our 3 ski hills (Boyne Highlands, Boyne Mountain, Nubs Nob)
- the million dollar sunsets
- Mackinac Island and the new Skybridge

Why they chose this property

We bought our Chalet in 2003. Lived in it for 3 years - perfect for our pre-child snowboarding lives. And the A-frame style is super cozy - different from your everyday 'cookie-cutter' homes. When we bought a home in Petoskey (needed more room for kids), we had to find a way to keep the Chalet. It's too perfect to let go! So it's now available for others to enjoy as a rental property. We miss living in the Chalet - brings back great memories of the quaint neighborhood everytime we are there getting it ready for our next guests.
