About this property

Lakefront Chalet - Lakeside Fire Pit / BBQ / Pet Friendly

Welcome to your perfect escape at the Lakefront Chalet, where peaceful waterfront relaxation meets cozy Up North charm.

Located on a 44 acre private lake, this inviting retreat offers stunning sunset views, calm waters, and the kind of relaxation you can only find in Northern Michigan. Whether you're planning a family vacation, a couples getaway, or a weekend with friends, this home is designed to help you slow down and soak it all in.

Quiet Lakefront Location
Step outside the spacious back deck and take in the view of the lake. Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck as the lake sparkles in the sunlight, spend your afternoons fishing, cruising the lake in the paddleboat, or enjoying one of the 4 kayaks available use. Wind down in the evening with beautiful sunset skies reflected across the water and keep an eye out for the family of Loons that calls the lake their home.

Comfortable, Cozy & Fully Equipped
Inside, you’ll find a warm and welcoming space with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The cozy living area invites you to gather, relax, and create memories together. Large windows bring in natural light and showcase the incredible lake views year-round.

Relaxation & Recreation
After a day on the water, gather around the lakeside fire pit under the stars, share stories, roast marshmallows, and enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature. In every season, this property offers something special — from summer boating and fishing to fall colors and winter skiing or snowmobiling.

The Best of Up North
Located in Johannesburg, just a short drive to downtown Gaylords charming local shops, local trails, and outdoor recreation areas, you’ll experience the best of Northern Michigan while still enjoying the privacy of your own lakeside retreat.
Whether you're here for adventure or pure relaxation, the Lakefront Chalet is more than a place to stay — it’s a place to reconnect, recharge, and make unforgettable memories.

Your Up North getaway is waiting!

A charming, clean, and cozy space. The chalet had everything you might need. Enjoyed the lake view and the fall color change. We were able to have a fire by the lake one night despite the rain. My family and I went for my birthday weekend to relax. The city elk park is also close by. Hosts were awesome!
