About this chalet rental

(Note - Saturday to Saturday check-in(4pm)/check-out(10am) Bedroom 1 : 1 queen bed Bedroom 2 - 1 queen bed, 1 bunk bed Loft bunk room - Sleeps 6 Large living room with fireplace and open air ceiling to loft area Dining room has large table with seating for 8 - 10. There are also four barstools at the kitchen counter. Kitchen area has stove, microwave, fridge/freezer with icemaker and filtered water, and dishwasher. We have tried to keep our cottage a place for our family to concentrate on the outdoors and each other, not technology... meaning there is no cable. However wifi is available so if you have your own streaming accounts you can use the Roku to watch on the TV in the loft bedroom. There is also a DVD player and lots of DVD movies. We have a ton of books and games available in the living room bookshelves. For outdoor eating and relaxing there is a large deck with 2 tables, umbrellas, and chairs on the main level, and if you want a little more secluded shady area for sitting or reading etc. you can move down to a beautiful cement patio below. The basement of the cottage is closed off, and not included in the rental. A short walk down the hill leads you to the fire pit (bring your own marshmallow sticks), tetherball, horse shoes, and waterfront/dock area. If you bring a volleyball/badminton net, there is even a nice area to set that up by the dock area. The dock is a 40' x 3' that you can tie up to (bring boat bumpers), and there is a boat lift that can hold a small 16-18' bass boat or outboard powerboat. We provide 5 kayaks, a peddle boat, and a row boat. Hamlin Lake is a wonderfully large 5000 acre lake, so feel free to truly enjoy it by bringing a powerboat that you can launch at either the public access 3 miles from the cottage off Nurnberg Road on Forrest Road 5540 (caution, this is a faster option but this section of the lake can be quite weedy, and challenging to navigate) or Wilson Hill Park on Barnhart Rd. north of Ludington (this is a 30 minute drive, but is right across upper Hamlin Lake from the cottage). You can also rent a pontoon boat from various locations, including Barnhart's Marina, and Sunset Bluff Resort, which are right across Upper Hamlin Lake from the cottage. You can go on about an hour hike right from the cottage through the Manistee National Forest to the Nordhouse Dunes and its pristine undeveloped Lake Michigan shoreline where you can swim, picnic, and even tent camp if you want to!

Overall this place is very, very nice. The house is located in a secluded area on the north lake next to National Forest, short walking distance (around 1.5 mile) to trails. The inside very clean. Awesome fire pit, tether ball and horse shoes. Plenty of room for multiple trucks and boat. Great bunk room 6 full beds (great for our teenagers). Two baths. Overall a great place to stay and highly recommend. Few things to know. If you are bringing a boat, the boat dock is not the best but we made it work (17ft lund). Good part is the house is secluded in a cove, so you don't get many waves. Bring bumpers. The boat lunch is about 20 min drive. Luddington is about 30 mins. About 5 min boat ride to sand dunes. You will need to go to sand dunes or public beach to swim (which was no big deal to us). The boat lift does not work. All and all an amazing place, especially if you take your boat out of the water each day. We did leave it in overnight one night and it was fine).

Loved our stay. House was beautiful and is organized for large family with lots of sleeping room. As well it was nice having a large area and we loved that the fire pit was a bit secluded from neighbors. Minor feedback/area for improvement - it would be good to have more towels. The hosts were very responsive and really went out of their way to make sure our stay was enjoyable which it was.

This beautiful home has it all. Very spacious with lots of room for our family of 5. We enjoyed many family cook outs on the large deck, caught fish in Hamlin Lake, and had a fantastic week.
