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!

Amazing host, amazing property! Will definitely be checking for availability here on my future trips up North. Perfectly situated around Gaylord, Atlanta, Boyne and so many more destinations, this spot is a gem in the winter, can’t wait to stay again in the spring!
Great stay! Everything was very clean and cozy. I’ve never felt more at home in rental property. It’s in a lovely location, close to skiing! The hosts provided good communication and check out instructions were easy. We look forward to coming back next year!
My wife and I came up for a quick snowmobile trip. Quick access to the trails. House was great for us and our small dog. Clean, comfortable, & quiet. Master bed was definitely appreciated after a day on the trails, very comfortable. We will be back.
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!
Everything I asked for in chalet, close to lake, kayak, paddle boat, did plenty of fishing. Caught some big fish, large mouth bass, catfish, perch. Had a great time with family
The property was just what we were looking for!! Private yard & own dock for fishing. Kayak's & paddle boat were the perfect addition!! Loved the decor, felt right at home instantly. Owners we're great to work with & everything was as promised.
Cabin was very cute and comfortable. The kids really took advantage of the water kayaking and paddle boating. Fish were plentiful but more successful using the paddleboat.
Very cute cabin. Great fishing! Owners (Dawn) very responsive to messages. Overall a great experience and would definitely stay again. Thanks for opening your place to visitors!
We really enjoyed our stay here! We had a nice relaxing time. Bring water shoes, a little muddy putting paddle boat in, but a lot of fun! Cabin has everything you need😊
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. It was exactly as it was described. We loved the quiet and made a couple of great road trips to Petoskey and Traverse City. We were really looking for some peace and quiet in nature and that's exactly what we found! Thanks Dawn!
This is exactly as stated. The cabin was lovely, clean and well-stocked. The property is very nice, peaceful and just what we all needed. Glad I found this, will be back!
Second time staying at this cabin. Love the peaceful wooded property on a quite lake. Dog friendly cabin and property. Had a blast. Looking forward to renting again in the future.
This cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It felt private even though there were other houses near by. It was a quiet neighborhood. The view of the fall colors and the lake off the back porch were beautiful!
Dawn, the host of property went above to make sure we had everything we needed for a successful family New Year's vacation! The chalet was very clean upon arrival & tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with every utensil needed to cook a meal.
10 OUT OF 10!
Had a wonderful time! The beds are incredibly comfy, the kitchen is well equipped, the entire place is immaculately clean and well maintained, and the lake is beautiful! The wifi and smart tvs are perfect for streaming, the property feels private and secluded while being located in a charming little neighborhood perfect for going on runs or relaxing walks. Check in and out was a breeze, and communication with the hosts was easy and prompt. No complaints whatsoever, highly recommend!
My husband and I enjoy taking a long weekend in the fall to see the colors. This cabin was perfect. It ’s quaint and cozy and everything is just right. The bed is comfy. There’s plenty of pots and pans for cooking. The view of the lake is fabulous. Everything about the cabin was perfect! So very glad we found it!! Many thanks to the owners for keeping such a lovely place.
The cabin was very nice. It was difficult to keep the floors from getting so dirty because the area in front of the door was dirt sand. It would’ve been nicer to have more rocks there gravel so that you didn’t track so much sand and dirt in Dawn is a wonderful host. The lake is beautiful and in the summer I’m sure it’s delightful to spend time down at the lake. It was decorated beautifully, and the additional decorations for Christmas were very nice and very much appreciated.
