The space
★ A-FRAME/CHALET STYLE HOME NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN & TORCH LAKE ★

Conveniently enter Seven Pines Chalet via keyless entry in the open-concept kitchen/dining area and make your way to the comfortable living room just a few steps away. Relax on the luxurious, deep leather sofa or in the additional comfy chairs. Warm yourself by the wood-burning stone fireplace. Snuggle into the nook by the fireplace with a book from the Chalet’s collection. Enjoy the view through huge slider doors to the front porch – where you’re sure to see visiting deer, turkey, and other wildlife and birds. Play supplied board games or watch your favorite shows and sports on the 50" LG ROKU Smart TV; use your own log-ins to stream your selected channels.

Prep and cook your favorite delicious recipes in the fully equipped kitchen, where you’ll find plentiful quartz-countertop space, including on the island, which doubles as an adorable eat-in area – also a nice spot to sip your morning hot beverage or grab a quick snack. You’ll find all the major appliances – range/oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, along with coffeemaker with all the “fixins”, electric kettle for tea, blender, toaster, crockpot, hand mixer, and all new cookware.

Discover the walking path to the shared private beach (for walking/jogging or searching for the infamous Charlevoix & Petoskey stones), or relax all day at the gorgeous public beach, just a few minutes’ drive from the house!

Back inside, have a blast playing pool, or air hockey, on the 2-in-1 swivel game table in the game room. You’ll also find a selection of board games stored in the living room entertainment center cabinets.

Perfect Weekend with The Stars
The property was absolutely stunning. The privacy matched with the silence of the night made the weekend a perfect getaway that I will try to return to as soon as possible. Tyler was a delight and was helpful with any questions or concerns.

Wonderful forest/lake hide-away/get-away
Awesome time at this unique cottage hidden under century old trees and close to picturesque beaches and the clear waters of Torch Lake. Comfortable space for a group of 6, great outdoor patio with all day shade from the tall trees all around. Kids enjoyed the basketball pad, nighttime fire pit and gentle walk down the road to the beach access point. Nicely modernized interior with welcome AC during the warm days. Easy drive to some great swimming (southern tip of Torch Lake) and golf (The Bear at Grand Traverse is worth the drive). Friske (also great pizzas) and King Orchard (also great cider) well worth the visit for fresh farm produce. All up, a wonderful stay and great base from which to visit the northern parts of MI.

Beautiful Property!
We had an amazing time at Tyler's place! So clean and well appointed with all the amenities - they've thought of everything! We spent much of our time at area beaches and lakes, rented a boat for the day on Torch, visited tons of neighboring towns, picked cherries, played games and made bonfires. It was the perfect vacation in the perfect house for our family of 7!

Family Vacation
Nice quiet property located down a shared private lane. As you walk in the house, you feel right at home. We definitely noticed that the owners take care of this property as well as you. Very clean and well kept. We enjoyed nightly campfires and playing a game of around the world on the basketball court. A gas grill is supplied, which makes it nice to cookout in the evenings, without having to mess with charcoal. A short wlk down the lane to a trail that leads you out on the private beach on lake Michigan made it nice to enjoy walking along the beach. For swimming, we enjoyed going 2.5 miles down the road to the public beach where we found tons of petoskey stones. There is another entrance a half mile closer that hS a bathroom, but you do have a longer walk to the beach. However, the trails were really neat. And made me wish i had a mountain bike to check those out a little more. We made sure to do our annual stop in Charlevoix to check out the shops and walk around. Which is only about 20-25 minute drive. If you like to golf, there are plenty of courses around! We decided to play Antrim Dels, which again was no more than 10 min away. Beautiful course and very nice people made for a great experience. The hosts were great and made things very easy including accommodating an extra person for us This property easily accommodated 9 of us. (6 adults, 2 teenagers, 1 kid)

Perfect Up North paradise
Our first UP North trip in a couple years, and it was perfect in every way. Very private forest home with excellent fire pit. Super clean smoke free house with plenty of extra room to spare. Very nice vibe and perfect getaway for our daughter who could not stop smiling the entire time… until we had to leave… fresh air, loads of stars at night. Short walk to private beach. Quick drive to everything. Top five houses we have stayed at for sure. Would stay again zero hesitation.
