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.

All winter sports near by! Plus, come back to the chalet, go snow shoeing on our property and soak under the stars in our sparkling clean hot tub!
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 !! IMAGINE, laying out in the blazing sun on the famous Torch Lake Sandbar by day and counting the stars from our fresh clean hot tub by night. We can sleep up to 9 in beds. Never run out of hot water with our state of the art hot water system.

Honeymoons, Reunions, Family Get-a-ways! Our log chalet's hillside setting is the prettiest and most peaceful vacation rental in the south Torch Lake area.

Beautiful, private little cabin with a view
My husband and I along with our 4 children (ages 6-10) stayed in the cabin for a winter getaway over their winter break. The kids loved sleeping in the loft bedroom! It had 4 beds and was perfect for them. The cabin sits on top of a hill on a huge chunk of property. It was private and peaceful with gorgeous views. We especially loved the hot tub. It sits on a deck overlooking the property and the lake. The hot tub was also very clean and is drained and cleaned between guests. The cabin was conveniently located to Traverse City, lakes, ski resorts, and most importantly, Bubbie's Bagels. The owners were wonderful, and here is an example of exactly how wonderful. We were headed to Boyne one afternoon and turned left out of the driveway down a dirt road and got stuck. We were able to get the car unstuck but couldn't get enough traction to get back up the hill. We called the owner, hoping for advice on who to call for a tow, but instead, he came out right away in his truck along with two of his employees to help tow us out. They quickly got us back up the hill and could not have been kinder or more helpful. They salvaged our afternoon and we were still able to make it to Boyne to enjoy the Sky Bridge. There wasn't any snow while we were there, but the property would've been perfect for snowshoeing, sledding, or enjoying a hike. We also enjoyed seeing the Highlander cows at the bottom of the hill who had just had a baby. It was a great trip and we would gladly go back.

Incredible place for your getaway!
We were looking for a quiet, beautiful, and fun place to stay during the Christmas holiday. This cottage met all these demands. It was very comfortable. The hot tub was great fun. The view was beautiful. The acreage made for some great hikes. Even this year’s warm and snowless December couldn’t dampen our experience. It was a special place to stay. The hosts were very attentive and accommodating.

Romantic Thanksgiving Getaway
Our stay really had it all - a break from the business of the city; a beautiful, secluded location and yet enough amenities to cook a full Thanksgiving meal and places nearby for groceries and to eat out/have a drink if we wanted. The cabin was very clean and cozy with great views. Truly a perfect little get away!
