We truly enjoyed our stay at The Van Etten Lake Chalet! It has everything you need for a comfortable relaxing stay! The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms and living spaces are clean and spacious. Grab bars have been installed for safety and assistance if needed. The view of the channel is pretty. We chose this location for its proximity to some birding sites and to Lake Huron. The location is away from traffic but has easy access to main roads. Nice!
