North Straits Chalet-Fast Drive to Mackinaw Ferry

Property Highlights:

PRIME LOCATION: The chalet invites you to explore nearby beaches and the North Central State Trail—ideal for hiking, biking, and snowmobiling just minutes away. Check out the iconic city of Cheboygan to the north and Indian River to the south, embark on a ferry ride to Mackinac Island, or enjoy nearby ski hills and golf courses.
Tony's Tip - For a special treat, get to the Mackinaw dock early and catch a ferry that takes you under the Mackinaw Bridge before heading to the island!

NEARBY AIRPORT: The chalet is only 22 minutes from the Pellston Regional Airport (PLN), with service to Detroit Metro Airport (DTW).

CREATURE COMFORTS: Delight in ultra-fast Wi-Fi, the fully equipped kitchen, main floor bedroom, complimentary coffee and tea, as well as a Digital Welcome Guide featuring our favorite spots in the “Tip of the Mitt”.

STUDY & PLAY: A dedicated study area with desk caters to remote work needs, while the remodeled lower level boasts a 65" Smart TV, soundbar, ceiling speakers for music streaming, Nintendo Classic gaming system, and a bar area for cozy movie nights.

OUTDOOR WONDERLAND: Relax on the deck with BBQ grill, enjoy yard games like cornhole and ladder ball, unwind by the firepit with a picnic table, or hit the water with provided beach gear.

CONVENIENT PARKING: Ample driveway space for parking your boat. Choose from 14 different boat launches on 5 lakes! Use of the attached garage with Level 2 EV charging is also included for our guests.

Whether you're seeking a tranquil or adventure-filled getaway, the North Straits Chalet offers a memorable, classic Up North experience!

We were very pleased with this place. Very reasonably priced. This place was remodeled, but you could tell they did not skimp on anything and was very up to date. It was also very clean. One of my friends that stayed there is going to recommend it to her boss for their work getaway weekend. Our host, Tony, was very accommodating and even let us change the dates of our stay. We enjoyed everything about this place!

Perfect weekend getaway

We rented the chalet for a girls weekend. We were all very happy with our choice. The chalet was very clean, comfortable, and well situated for trips in Cheboygan, Mullett Lake, and numerous other areas northern Michigan. We would definitely rent this one again.

Weekend with longtime friends

Detailed guide for stay provided before our arrival and also at the cabin. The cabin was spotless and had everything guests would need. A perfect place for us to spend our evenings catching up with friends after fun day trips around the area. A great place for families too. Thank you!

Fantastic home and location

What a gem this home is. There's so many special touches -- a variety of entertainment/games, quality appliances in the squeaky clean kitchen, thoughtful guidance throughout and a quick trip to SO many cool places. We absolutely loved our stay and our kids, 4, 7 and 10 hope to return next year. Thank you for a memorable and relaxing stay!

Beautiful chalet in a convenient location

The chalet is beautiful, cozy and welcoming. It is well equipped with everything you need. It is in a quiet area but not far off the highway. There is a Walmart and a dollar general just a few minutes away.

Michigan vacation

Very impressed with the property and the house. It is truly one of the best and cleanest home rentals we have stayed in. This gem is 5 stars! The home is well supplied with everything you will need for a comfortable stay. The deck in the backyard was a perfect place to relax and have a cocktail! We highly recommend the North Straits Chalet if you are staying in the area

Family Vacation

The location suited us very well. We visited the U.P. and Mackinaw several times. Plenty of room for everyone. We didn't have to take up floor space for sleeping, everyone had their own bed. Having a dishwasher was GREAT! It was really nice being able to park in a garage. We were able to relax around a nice firepit for evening fires.

Mullet lake fishing trip

Had a great stay. After setting in a fishing boat all day living room chairs were very welcome and comfortable. Kitchen was more modern than my house. Not a major deal but you can hear the traffic going by out front! I would have no problem staying there anytime. “Nice Place” l didn’t really have any issues but when I did message the owner on a couple things l got a quick message back!
