Forest Haven -
A Spectacular Cottage Home on Antrim's Chain of Lakes
Nestled among towering pines and hardwoods, this beautifully built 5 bedroom cottage home is ideally located on quiet Lake Skegemog and provides boat access to Torch, Elk, and Clam Lakes and Lake Bellaire. The well-designed home features plenty of room for family and friends to enjoy time together or find a quiet space to relax and enjoy the solitude. Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in the quaint charm of this fantastic property. There is no need to sacrifice the comforts of home with this well-appointed property.
Lake Skegemog is not quite as well known as her sister lakes, Torch and Elk, but there are many advantages. The water warms much earlier in the season making early season swims much more enjoyable. Relative to Torch and Elk, there is much less boat traffic on Skegemog so quiet moments are much easier to come by. The fishing on Skegemog is also much more accessible with shallower water and tremendous populations of bass, perch, pike and world class musky.
Skegemog Point Road is a breathtaking tree lined lane extending north directly from M-72 providing very quick access to Traverse City. Because the road terminates at the water, there is no through traffic providing a great atmosphere for morning walks.

Beautiful Home, Ideal Location, Excellent Host
We had a fantastic stay! Cherie was a great communicator—friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout the booking and our stay. The home itself was beautiful, clean, and perfectly suited for a relaxing family getaway. With six of us, we had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy our time together. The location was ideal—right by the lake, quiet, and peaceful. It was the perfect spot to unwind, recharge, and make memories. Highly recommend!

Family Vacation
We absolutely loved this property! We have been to northern MI several times and this was by far the best house that we have stayed at! We loved sitting at the dock or in the Adirondack chairs. We will definitely look to rent this house again when we come back!

Perfect lake house!
This was the perfect spot for our 3 generation gathering: beautiful house, every detail thought of, every need anticipated. We rented a boat and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the lakes. We didn’t really leave the property, so appreciated all the seating areas in the house and around the property. Really just a lovely place to be.

Perfect house, great place to stay.
Family of 14 has stayed at this house 2 summers, now, and we love everything about the house. Perfect location, super clean and great people to deal with. Can’t say enough about this house. We would not hesitate to rent year after year. Fishing hasn’t been perfect but the fact that we can bring kayaks, paddle boards and our fishing boats just makes this vacation home, the best.

Great summer rental
We enjoyed everything about this home and its location. It appears to be built within the last few years, has a great kitchen, dining table for a crowd, expansive living room, and big screened porch. Ideal east-facing lakefront to see sunrise, we rented kayaks and tubes for the week. Traverse City is just 20-25 minutes away and a brand-new Meijer is soon to open about 10mins away.

Fifth year in a row
Have stayed at this property five summers in a row. Family of 11 from a 6 year old to grandparents in their 70s. We all love it! Beautiful, peaceful setting. We rent a pontoon boat & really enjoy the proximity to both Elk & Torch Lakes. Definitely going back next summer - we all think of it as OUR Lake House.

Beautiful vacation home
We were completely wowed. The home is gorgeous, comfortably furnished, and very well organized. It was immaculate when we arrived and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The lake frontage is exceptionally beautiful, with lots of trees, ferns, and seating areas. The photos are accurate but it looks even better in person. It’s in a quiet, friendly neighborhood that’s close to TC without being in the middle of it all.

Wonderful combination of comfort , charm and rustic beauty. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

More Than Expected!
Stayed here with 2 other families and had a GREAT time. The house is beautifully decorated, clean and is very peaceful for your time away. The neighbors are a little close BUT the location of the house to Torch and Elk Lakes is perfect and the view from the screened in back porch is worthy of a post card. The kitchen was well equipped and had plenty of dishes for everyone. We spent all our time outdoors on the dock, preparing smores by the fire pit and just getting away which was wonderful. Do not hesitate in booking this property because we would do it again in a heartbeat.

Delightful week!
We spent a fun week , with multi-generations under one roof in this comfortable and well appointed home. We were able to have kayaks and paddleboards delivered from Traverse City for the week, this location on Skegemog is perfect for paddling! We water skied too! And included a day trip into Torch Lake via Torch River which was a lot of fun. Well equipped kitchen made meal prep easy, everything is clearly labeled in the home , children and adults were able to enjoy the waterfront, the entire experience was a pleasure!

Perfect vacation location and house
We have booked lake houses in numerous locations for our extended family (6 adults and 5 kids) over the years, but this was the best. The house was perfect and included everything we could ask for from waffle and ice cream makers to a fully stocked kitchen and tons of children’s toys. The beach area and sand bottom made a perfect swim area and the extended shallows made it terrific for paddle boarding. Most mornings we woke to 5-6 deer in the yard and a family of mink wandered through. The fire pit by the lake was the perfect end to each day. We’ll be back for sure.

Great week at the lake!
This was a great property for our family vacation! The house had plenty of space of our family (8 adults and 2 infants) with enough common area space that we could spread out. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking meals. The kids had plenty of room to play inside and outside. The screened-in porch was perfect for evenings to avoid bugs. There is a great dock and it was easy to dock the boat at. The water stays shallow for a ways out and has a sandy bottom which was nice for swimming. Overall, I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun week in Northern Michigan!

Fantastic Family Vacation
We have been coming to Northern Michigan for a week every summer for 25+ years and this property was one of the very best! The little sand beach was perfect for our small children, the swimming raft was great for the teenagers, and the many areas to sit outside and relax were perfect for the adults. The hosts have thought of every possible need in the house from the kitchen to the very comfortable beds, the sun room with toys for kids and a well stocked game cupboard. We loved how everything was labeled and instructions for various appliances were easily found. And the huge kitchen table allowed us to all eat together and play games together. This is a wonderful property for families to enjoy time together but also provides quiet spaces when needed.

BEST EXPERIENCE YET!!!
Over the years, our extended family (including granddaughters, now aged 5 & 12) have stayed in many VRBOs here & abroad. Forest Haven has proven to be the best experience ever!!! The location of this property on beautiful Lake Skegemog cannot be beat for relaxation & accessibility to other nearby lake recreation. This home was beautiful in every way & outfitted with EVERY possible need for our family! We were all blown away by the thought integrated into every detail! Mandy, the Property Manager, was incredibly helpful & kind; which was so appreciated! Our family adventure at this property was so wonderful in every possible way!!!

Wonderful Lakehouse
Our family of 13 (from 71 to 4) spent two wonderful weeks and this lovely home. The accommodations are terrific and they have just about everything we needed to celebrate two significant birthdays in style.
There is not much lake traffic and the location is ideal - right across from the mouth of the Torch River. Great dock and sandy beach and swimming area with their own swim raft. We rented a pontoon from Elk River Marina for 10 days and really got to enjoy tubing, fishing and just riding around in the boat. Lots of great personal touches in the decorations in the house - love the fish memorabilia. I'd have to call it a perfect family place. Thank you very much for sharing it with our family for two glorious weeks.

Loved It!
Our family of nine adults and two children spent a GREAT week here. The house is charming and very comfortable. The screened porch is heaven - I am an early riser and the sunrise view from the porch was fantastic. We enjoyed an evening thunder storm from the porch as well - the sound of the rain and the lightening over the lake made for quite a show.
The location is great - 15 minutes to the beaches, restaurants & shops in Elk Rapids and Alden. And great pie at Uncle Bill's fruit/vegetable stand on the road to Elk Rapids!
We rented a pontoon boat - and the spacious dock made it easy for our novice boaters.
We definitely plan to return next summer.

Amazing stay!
The home was comfortable and tastefully decorated with all the amenities and comforts that one could want. The owners & property manager clearly have pride in this property. The property is fairly private; tucked into the woods at the water's edge. The section of Skegemog is sandy, not weedy, and peaceful. The dock was great for laying out on, swimming from, and tying our ski boat up to. Easily accessible to beautiful Torch and Elk Lakes by boat, but Skegemog is quieter & great for kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, and loon & bald eagle watching! ~25 minute drive to Traverse City & within easy driving distance to Sleeping Bear & Lake Michigan. We can't wait to return !
