How long has it been since you counted the constellations on a clear, bright starry night while relaxing in a hot tub? Or listened to the howls of coyotes in a distance or seen a family of wild turkey strolling by? Isn't it time you and your loved ones escape out of the city lights and come up to our northern lights for an extended weekend or even for a week long break.
Our log chalet is cozy enough for honeymooners or couple retreats, (we have many) yet large enough for family and friends! Being off the water may not be your first choice, but our guests say it is their best choice. They say why spend the beach front $$$ on Torch Lake when they can affordably have everything here and more like a pontoon to rent, privacy, wide expansive sunsets, a clean and bubbly hot tub under the starry night, wildlife, many walking trails and views in wide open and wooded acreage.
Rent our pontoon and spend the day basking under the sun on the famous Torch Lake Sandbar!!! Our log chalet with our large party deck, is large enough for families and friends but cozy and romantic enough for couples. Our chalet overlooks magnificent sunsets and tree tops views from a spacious shaded deck.

Nestled in the hills near the south end of the beautiful clean waters of Torch Lake we offer privacy, comfort, and great memories!!

Catch Spring fever here and make it last until summer! Wild flowers, mushroom hunters, stream and lake fishing. Rent our fishing pontoon. Come back to our fresh and clean outdoor hot tub and count how many constellations you can see. Summer is full of life here! Why pay the high price of shoreline rent when we have the perfect spot for Torch Lake fun plus a nice pontoon to rent !!

Never run out of hot water with our state of the art hot water system.

Lovely spot with lots to offer nearby. We felt so comfortable in the chalet and really welcomed by the hosts. They were great to communicate with and offered lots of recommendations. We really enjoyed the surrounding property and the hot tub was a great feature and so clean! Highly recommend renting the pontoon boat! Easy process and a great way to enjoy the lake. Overall a great, relaxing and comfortable experience!

Thank you for a great review!! Our chalet and it’s hill top property gives a great view of northern michigan and is especially noticed with all the falls colors coming!
Thanks for staying and please come again!
I took three of my best friends for a mom‘s relaxing weekend away and we had a blast catching up! A hot tub was the only requirement for my weekend and this place was perfect! Very easy to check in and out.
What a special place - If you are looking to disconnect and enjoy some pure Northern Michigan this is your spot. We enjoyed hiking the property, bonfires, chilling in the hot tub overlooking the spectacular views, visiting local cities and of course boating on beautiful Torch Lake. Access to the boat and lake were seamless. Dale and Mike are lovely people and were so easy to work with. Cabin has everything you need… great family vacay!
WOW! That's the word I would use to describe this property. My wife and I loved this location, far enough away to feel secluded but not too far from places we wanted to see (Torch Lake 10 Minute Drive). Really enjoyed being able to relax in the hot tub after a day trip and enjoy the sun sets. We were able to talk to the owners a couple times and they are the best! They showed us some views on the property that were nothing short of gorgeous. Michigan is quickly becoming our go to destination and this property will be a repeat for us!
