About this property

Cozy, peaceful chalet tucked in the woods! 2 miles from the beach on Lake Huron.

Get ready for board games and s'mores by the fire at this updated Presque Isle chalet with a retro style. Under two miles from the public beach on Lake Huron and a two minute walk to the park on Lake Esau. Bring your kayak or paddle board and head out for some fun on the water. Enjoy pizza and ice cream from the local store near the beach. Be sure to check out the two Presque Isle lighthouses nearby. After a day in the sun, take a short drive to Woody's on Grand Lake for a delicious dinner with friends and family. If you're looking for more activities like golf, miniature golf, movies, bowling, or shopping visit Alpena or Rogers City, a 20 minute drive north or south. Wind down with a movie, sit by the fire, or destroy your family in a friendly game of Scrabble. Get a good night sleep and be refreshed for the next day's adventure.

More about the house:
The home does not have AC but the house is a split level so the bedrooms stay cooler as they are on the lower level. All of the bedrooms have ceiling fans. There are 3 bedrooms in total. The main bedroom has a memory foam queen bed. The second bedroom has a full size bed and the third bedroom has a twin bed. There is WIFI available in the house which you should use as cell reception is poor this far north. Once you log into the WIFI you should not have any issues making calls. There's a TV in the living room and and in each bedroom. They are Roku Smart TV's so you are able to log into your own streaming services of choice. We do not have cable or dish but we do have a Blueray player and movies to watch. Old fashioned movie night!

More about the area:
At the end of the street you'll find Lake Esau Park. There are swings for the kids to play on or you can just relax on the bench and look out at the lake. If you want a more of a swimming and lounging beach, take a quick drive to Presque Isle Harbor Beach just a few minutes up the road. Across from the beach is an ice cream shop that also checks out bicycles for free and rents out kayaks. A little further up from the beach are the two Presque Isle light houses where you can visit the old keeper's house, walk down by the beach, or climb to the top for some amazing views.

Peaceful and Relaxing Stay

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. The chalet was as described. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, away from all the hustle and bustle, this is it. There is not much around for stores/shops but lots of beautiful trails and beaches and a couple lighthouses to check out.

Great location

Great location in Presque Isle. House was a quick 5 minute walk to lake Esau where you can enjoy swimming /kayaking on a beautiful lake. Had all the amenities needed for a nice quiet getaway. We will be looking to book again when we make our way back up to the area later this year.

Impressed

We were impressed with chalet as it was very well decorated and kept. Our hosts gave attention to details that made the experience even better. There were games, books, movies, basic kitchen supplies, towels, and helpful resources to acquaint us with the area. We enjoyed our stay very much. The location was great as we enjoyed time in Mackinac Island, Alpena, Petoskey, Whitefish Point, 40 Mile Point Lighthouse and more.

Perfect Getaway for our Family

The photos were insightful to see the property and surroundings. The host was absolutely wonderful and answered all of my questions. We enjoyed taking nature walks around the property, playing games indoor as a family and relaxing on the deck. This is a beautiful and unique home and we enjoyed our stay very much. We would recommend to other families!
