We had a great time at the Ski Chalet for the weekend. The ski-in/ski-out was great, but just wished the new chair lift ran longer in the afternoon. We had an issue with the hot tub, and the property manager responded quickly.
The house is great, clean, well appointed and easy to get to the lifts by skiing right out the back. The catch is that the only lift that serves this side of the hill closes an hour before everything else. If youâre not careful you may get stranded at the base with no easy way back to the house. We enjoyed the stay a great deal. However, for open to close skiers or boarders itâs a little disappointing that you have to drive to the main base area anyway if you want to have an easy way home after.
Our big family group loved the place in early October and can only imagine how great it would be as a ski vacation. Management was very responsive â we had a plumbing issue and they sent an emergency plumber on Friday night. Strange problem that the front door code stopped working after the initial check-in, but the garage entrance remained usable so no harm done. Kitchen is beautifully appointed and the gift of American Spoon jam and BBQ sauce was a sweet Up-North-forward gesture! Great spot for walking on the ski trails behind the house and we enjoyed the hot tub â fire out will have to wait for next time.
Property was as advertised. 10 of us were very comfortable. Front porch and back porch wonderful for coffee in morning and reading a book or just relaxing in the outdoors. Beautiful location any time of the year.
Great house for our group of 8. Plenty of beds and lounging areas. Basement is an added perk. Outdoor area is great with hot tub, grill, large yard for lawn games and a firepit. Hosts were communicative and easy to work with. Definitely will try and reserve for next year's trip!
We had a group of 12 golfers stay at this lovely house for a week. It was perfect for us. Close to the golf courses. The hot tub was great after a long day of golf. The house was in great condition with all the amenities that you could hope for. We hope to stay again in the future.
This place was great for our growing family! We were in for a family wedding and the place worked out great for all of us. The kids enjoyed the outside tremendously and loved eating outside on porch. Great place for families and definitely would stay here again.!!
Shampoo , soap and such was small but we managed . I would recommend cleaning the living room fan at some point, pretty dusty :/
Anyway, great place!
We had a great stay at this property. You had to climb The Highlands slope in your car to get there, and it truly felt like we were away from it all. It was nice to have the hot tub, basement activities, and a yard to set up our crossnet volleyball net. Lots to do just at the house. We also liked that it was equidistant to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. We spent most of our time in these 2 towns.
We truly enjoyed our time in the highlands. Everything we wanted to do was close by. The home was perfect. Spacious and clean. We used the fire pit most nights.
This place has everything you need for up to a group of 4 families. Check in was fast. Amenities were all in working order, lighting was adequate, quality of furniture was good except mattresses were very lame and of poor quality.
The house and yard are great for a long weekend. Would be great for a ski weekend being on the slope. A couple minor things that could use touch up, i.e. towel bar wouldn't stay on in one bathroom, basement fridge could use a cleaning and price was considerably higher this year than past. Issues were minor things nothing that would change the 5 star thoughts of the property. The price will have us checking out other listings. Overall, tough to beat for a 3-4 family gathering.
Our group rented this property for our annual golf trip at Boyne Highlands, and it didnât disappoint! Was perfect for our needs and just a short drive up the hill from the courses!!
Stayed at this home with another family - kids aged 1.5 to 16. We were there just after the ski season at the Highlands closed but were able to ski at Nubâs Nob. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool and air hockey. The main living area is upstairs with the stairs being just off the kitchen and main area, which was a little frightening with small children. We blocked the stairs, but it was then a bit of an impediment to going up and down. The house was clean and minimally furnished with just what you needed. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this house. Location to skiing was greatâŠin our case, we enjoyed walking on the closed trails.
The house was very clean, appliances were all in good working order. The location was great and very convenient to ski in/out for lunches and warm ups. The host was very active in communicating information to us and everyone enjoyed their stay.
Our large family really enjoyed this home. Kids liked having their own space downstairs while the adults enjoyed upstairs. Being able to walk out your back door (not up hill either) to ski was such a nice thing. Wouldâve booked again for next year but somebody beat me to it!
Amazing!
That is the best word to describe the experience we had staying at this beautiful house this past week.
This is the 2nd year our group of friends have stayed with Jessica and it definitely won't be our last. Not only is the house beautiful, the location amazing, and the ski access unbeatable, but Jessica is the best.
The speed of communication from her is out of this world. She made booking seamless. She answered all questions almost immediately, and communicated any problems instantly as well as the solutions.
The hot tub is awesome after a day out in the snow!
We highly recommend booking with her!
Thank you for the awesome experience! Expect to hear from us next year!
