Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a retreat with friends, this chalet was designed for creating memories in every season. The Experience Start your morning with a cup of coffee on the wraparound deck as sunlight filters through the trees and the forest comes alive with birdsong. In the afternoon, walk or drive just minutes to Higgins Lake, where sandy-bottom shallows stretch for hundreds of feet — perfect for swimming, kayaking, or fishing. When evening falls, return to your own private fire pit. Roast marshmallows, sip a glass of wine, and watch the stars brighten above the pines. Inside the Chalet Every detail has been curated to make your stay feel like home: • Cozy living space with a wood-burning fireplace and oversized windows that frame the forest views. • High-speed Wi-Fi and a 75-inch smart TV with Fire Stick — perfect for streaming or remote work. • Two spacious king bedrooms with plush bedding for restful sleep. • Spa-inspired bathrooms stocked with fluffy towels and essential toiletries. • Fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances and cookware, ready for everything from quick breakfasts to full family dinners. • Family-friendly extras including a highchair, Pack ’n Play crib, and board games for rainy days.
