About this property

Ellis Lake Resort - Chalet - Interlochen/Traverse City

Part of Ellis Lake Resort, the Chalet is a quaint mid-sized A frame with all the amenities you typically find in your own home. It's large windows throughout give lots of natural light and the rooms reflect the colors of the outdoors giving it a very relaxing atmosphere.
*The Chalet can sleep at least 8 comfortably with its 2 bedrooms and nice spacious loft upstairs. It has a good sized kitchen with everything you need for cooking, even a picnic table for seating. There is a TV in the cozy living room, a traditional bathroom with a bathtub/shower and a washer and dryer for your convenience.
*The yard space sits beneath the pines with a basketball hoop, a large grassy area with a fire pit for marshmallow roasting and singalongs. There is a grill and picnic table, if outside dinners are your preference on a lovely summers eve. *The Chalet is 1 minute walk out the back door to the outdoor hot tub located in the woods beneath the pines and stars for all at the Resort to enjoy separately. Just another minute from the front door, you will be down at our water front on Ellis Lake. This 50+ acre lake is enjoyed by the nature lover as you can sit on the lovely deck in the early morning hours enjoying the morning mist and often hearing the call of the loons and seeing the swans, ducks and cranes when they are back for the season. During the day our guests enjoy taking a rowboat out to try their skills at fishing for pike, bass, perch or bluegill. Take a canoe, paddle boat, or row out and paddle around the lake to look for the painted turtles that often sun themselves on the logs near the shoreline. A swim raft sits in the middle of the lake enticing you to take a dip or enjoy the warmth of the sun.
*In the evening, enjoy a campfire at the fire pit and take in the billions of stars that often reflect on the water as there are no lights to hinder this magnificent view.

Absolutely loved the chalet cabin

The property was very clean and cozy. There was plenty of room and beds available for the 7 of us. We enjoyed fishing, games that were provided, grilling our meals and the quiet environment in the woods. I got to speak with the owner Becky and she was very delightful. I will definitely plan a stay there again.

Trip Up North

We had such a fun stay visiting the area. The owner was very responsive and so nice! The women who work in the office are INCREDIBLE. The woman with the brown hair and glasses was so kind and pointed out all the best places to visit and helped us plan hikes and wine tours. It was such a relaxing and fun trip :)

Wonderful hosts, nice, secluded, spacious cabin

We really enjoyed our stay here! Our kids loved the loft area of the cabin - it was a great relaxing hangout just for them. The cabin is on the older side but very clean and comfortable. It's on a nice, small lake that includes boats for use. and a nice swimming raft. Sunsets were stunning. It's a little far out from Traverse City and Sleeping Bear but we didn't mind at all. We enjoyed relaxing evenings around the fire pit looking at the stars. The owners are really responsive and friendly. We were welcomed with some delicious homemade blueberry cake and some beautiful flowers. Thank you!

Disappointed.

Hot tub is NOT private FYI. We signed up for a time slot to use the community hot tub, and owners decided to empty/clean it right before our time slot and left it 80 degrees. When we went back to shower after our freezing experience, there was NO SHOWER HEAD! Owners were not helpful at all and extremely condescending. I was extremely disappointed and couldn’t enjoy any part of our stay involving this property. Wouldn’t recommend.
