Couples Retreat, ORV, Right From the Front Door

Escape to the cosy comforts of the Chardonnay Chalet, a beautifully wooded property located on a private road—perfect for a relaxing getaway. This charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath chalet accommodates couples, families, or groups, with flexible sleeping arrangements for up to 8 guests. Enjoy real beds: 1 king, 1 queen room on main floor and 2 queen beds in loft. This is also a glider rocker and playpen/cot for infants or toddlers on-site if needed.

Located just 3 miles from the boat launch on Big Star Lake (featuring a small beach), you can easily spend your days on the water or exploring nearby lakes. Bring your ORVs or snowmobiles and ride straight from the cottage to the trails, with plenty of parking for caravans. World-class fishing for trout, salmon, and steelhead is available in the renowned Pere Marquette, Pine, Big Manistee, and Little Manistee Rivers, with excellent pan fishing in local lakes. Golf courses and restaurants are within a mile, and kayak or canoe trips are easy to arrange locally.

Inside, you’ll find comforts for every season: central air conditioning, forced air heat, a pellet stove for cosy nights, a hot tub (closed as of 11/1/26), and a screened in room. The state-of-the-art Culligan water softener and rust removal system ensures clear, clean water for cooking and swimming. Each bedroom is equipped with a smart TV, and a DVD player is in the living room along with a selection of films for private downtime. High-speed WiFi keeps you connected, so you can stay in touch or stream your favourite shows.

The hot tub was wonderful and the views from inside the cottage or outside was beautiful. If you are needing to unwind this is the place. Even though there are neighbors on both sides it felt like you were secluded. I would recommend this place to others. Stearns beach was 40mins away then to the tin man in Hart , Michigan and dinner at Kristi's Pour house was a nice outting for a day.
