Ski-In/Ski-Out Chalet at the Top of The Highlands!

Tucked into nature at the top of The Highlands of Harbor Springs, a ski and golf resort, and perfect for year-round vacationing in Harbor Springs, yet minutes to Petoskey! This 3,200 square foot privately owned chalet boasts views overlooking the Lois Lane ski run. One of the highest residences at The Highlands, truly ski-in/ski-out, and a perfect place to wake up, strap on your skis, and hit the slopes. Please note that our rental property can comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests.

Featuring five bedrooms and four bathrooms with additional loft space for sleeping. The main level offers an open floor plan with lots of windows, a vaulted great room, and gas fireplace – all which make it easy to take in the views of skiers going by or the beautiful fall colors. Catering to large groups, you’ll find two primary suites with private baths, one with a king and one with a queen, and two more bedrooms, one with two full beds, the other with 2 bunkbeds (twin over full). The fifth bedroom has a queen and there is loft space for extra sleeping arrangements. *The 6 twin cots are available for use, but linens are not provided. The gourmet kitchen includes everything you’ll need to prepare meals and gather with your friends and family. The large wraparound deck features a six-person hot tub, gas grill, and large patio set. The backyard is perfect for yard games and when it’s time to go in for the night your entertainment doesn’t need to stop. A spacious game room can be found in the lower level, complete with a second full size refrigerator, pool table, air hockey table, and flat screen TV. This spacious, well-appointed chalet accommodates large groups well – allowing ample room to gather as well as private space for downtime.

Ski weekend

We had a great time at the Ski Chalet for the weekend. The ski-in/ski-out was great, but just wished the new chair lift ran longer in the afternoon. We had an issue with the hot tub, and the property manager responded quickly.

Great place and location with a catch

The house is great, clean, well appointed and easy to get to the lifts by skiing right out the back. The catch is that the only lift that serves this side of the hill closes an hour before everything else. If you’re not careful you may get stranded at the base with no easy way back to the house. We enjoyed the stay a great deal. However, for open to close skiers or boarders it’s a little disappointing that you have to drive to the main base area anyway if you want to have an easy way home after.

Lovely wooded retreat

Our big family group loved the place in early October and can only imagine how great it would be as a ski vacation. Management was very responsive — we had a plumbing issue and they sent an emergency plumber on Friday night. Strange problem that the front door code stopped working after the initial check-in, but the garage entrance remained usable so no harm done. Kitchen is beautifully appointed and the gift of American Spoon jam and BBQ sauce was a sweet Up-North-forward gesture! Great spot for walking on the ski trails behind the house and we enjoyed the hot tub — fire out will have to wait for next time.

Golf weekend getaway

Great house for our group of 8. Plenty of beds and lounging areas. Basement is an added perk. Outdoor area is great with hot tub, grill, large yard for lawn games and a firepit. Hosts were communicative and easy to work with. Definitely will try and reserve for next year's trip!
