About this property

Cranberry Chalet (PET Friendly!)

Enjoy the best of both worlds: woods and lake!!! This unique wood covered home is perfect for a quiet couple or a large family gathering. The house is a short, scenic drive through the woods that ends at a small gathering of houses. There are woods on 3 sides of the 3 bedroom, 2 bath chalet. Vaulted ceilings and wood beams add to the open floor plan.

Enjoy the large, two level deck that faces towering trees, wildlife, and undeveloped land on one side of the house, or have some coffee or a cocktail on the balcony on the other side of the house while enjoying the sounds of Cranberry Lake. Grilling is easy with thegas grill.

The beach access is a 2 minute drive back through the woods and around the corner, or you can make the short walk.

THERE IS NO DIRECT ACCESS TO LAKE FROM HOUSE.
The lake has a volleyball net, play area, designated swim area, and picnic tables. The boat launch is just on the other side of the lake. The house provides beach chairs, beach towels, and rafts for you to use. Just pack your swimsuit and head up!

The master bedroom is on the main floor and has an attached master bathroom. The master bath has a full tub/shower and double sinks. The new full sized washer and dryer is also located here.

The upstairs is divided into two sleeping SPACES with one room that sleeps 4 and the other room sleeping two. There are NO DOORS, but do have privacy curtains. Both rooms have private, attached balconies for added outdoor space and views. There is a new air conditioning unit upstairs, and the cross breeze from both balcony doors cools things off nicely.

The large family room has plenty of seating to watch the brand new Smart TV or play games. Just log in to your Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, HBO GO, or MLB accounts. It can also be used to surf the internet, as the house has free Wifi. There is NO cable tv. The fire place is NOT for use either. There is a cabinet filled with games for all ages, and coloring supplies.

There is a free standing air conditioner unit that cools the downstairs, and another one upstairs.

The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, so there's no need to go crazy packing up your extras (plastic wrap, foil, paper towels, spices, condiments, utensils, bakeware, plates/cups, etc. There's even a dishwasher to make your vacation even easier!!! Brand new fridge in 2020.

Off the kitchen is the 2nd bathroom with a stand up shower.

All linens, towels, and bedding freshly washed and waiting for each renter.

The yard has a fire pit, hammock, and plenty of space for yard games. There is a new 5 foot fenced in separate yard for your four legged family members (pet fees apply).

It's a quick 10 min. drive into the town of Harrison. Harrison has breakfast places, restaurants, bars, grocery stores, a Rite Aid, ice cream stores, fruit markets, a cafe and bakery, and fun local shopping. Lots of menus and local information are provided in the Welcome Book in the house.

For an adventurous day, explore the local skiing, golfing, zip lining, state hiking trails, canoeing, tubing, go carts, batting cages, put put golf, hunting and the area's ATV and ORV trails.

For a more leisurely day try Clare County's antiquing, farmers' markets, multiple seasonal festivals, and the shops, bakeries, and driving tour of the area's Amish community.

Cranberry Cottage Stay

Cottage was perfect for our family. Chalet was clean, but could use a deep clean. Kitchen had many of the things we needed to make meals. The neighborhood was very quiet, even though it was 4th of July week. Our dog Milo loved his walks and fenced area to do his business. If you are looking for a quiet stay, this is the place!

Family Stay

This was a family stay coming home for a funeral. The reason for coming to Mich was sad however we did have fun. This property allowed us to spend time together with our whole family. The kids loved the lake and the firepit. Camp fire smores are the best! Would stay again 100%

Needs to be picked up, but otherwise good

Nice place to stay, just needs to be cleaned/picked up more. It wasn’t dirty, but there was a lot of junk under the beds and under the couches. We even had a used band aid in the bed sheets. There was a dirty used hammock just laying on the front yard. If this place was picked up more, it would be great.

Rest and relaxation

My experience with Jen and her cute homey cabin was wonderful from start to finish. We are repeat customers, and will be returning again. A warm welcome always awaits my family including my dogs when we arrive. Jen goes the extra mile to make all feel welcome. The Cranberry Chalet is always clean and the decor makes you smile and feel happy. Besides the food you eat, the kitchen is stocked with anything you may need. The grill had plenty of propane and we enjoyed our meals on the porch in the fresh air. The sleeping arrangements were just right, and all the rooms nad bathrooms were very clean. Her bon-fire pit is the best with plenty of chairs for all to relax. The kids had a super fun time at the beach where they had plenty of room to frolic and play without the worry of dropoffs, because it was buoyed off. I tell all my family and friends about Jens get-away. Thanks once again for the best stay ever..we will be back!! ❤

Up North with family and pets!

The owner is FIRST CLASS all the way. She left notes all around the house to help you out on how to take care of this cottage. The cottage has a fenced in dog run, we took our dogs out to go potty and bring back in. You get to it off the porch/door you go in at. Newer appliances. If your a bigger person or disabled don't use toilet off bedroom, it's very small, low to the ground. However just across the hall is a larger, taller tolet you can use with no problems. She has this place stocked with things you might forgot! The lake isn't far and was clean. Truly a wonderful experience. I hope I can come back in the fall?

Early Spring 2022

This is a great place to stay and probably the best dog friendly place we've seen. Jen the owner personalizes your stay and goes all out to make you feel welcome. The house is stocked really well and anything you need to cook is there! It was a comfy cozy visit! Lots of good instructions, no question on anything while we were there. We will rent again!

Amazing winter getaway!

This property was the perfect place for a winter getaway. it was big enough to accommodate our family of 7 and 2 pups, but still felt cozy! It’s close to Snow Snake for tubing and skiing fun. Jen is an amazing hostess and made us feel welcome the minute we arrived! The chalet was well equipped, so we could make our own meals and there were plenty of games and puzzles to enjoy as a family! It’s a northern Michigan treasure!
