The Chalet on Little Muskie Lake is everything we needed for a fun family getaway weekend. We had everything we needed from the kitchen utensils to the lake “toys”. We couldn’t have had a more perfect stay, even when we locked ourselves out and had wonderful help getting back in. We’d love to come back to enjoy the Chalet and the lake again!

Rustic Cabin - Close to Areas for Outdoor Adventures
The cabin has a great view of Little Muskie Lake and an active bald eagle nest! We had a great time running the snowmobiles onto the lake and on the trails to other lakes and through beautiful wooded areas.
The chalet itself was plenty big enough for the 7 folks who were there and had pretty much everything you would need for a 5-day stay except food. We had a blast playing games at the long table and talking around the fire. I would rent this chalet again if we decide to snowmobile in this area again.
However, some of the furniture needs to be updated and perhaps rearranged to accommodate the size of the rooms on the lower level. All the bedroom doors should be able to close. The toilet in the second bathroom sits on a platform that has no room for your feet, making it somewhat awkward to use.

About the host
Hosted by Wild Rivers Property Managment
Our family grew up vacationing at this Northwoods cabin, and it’s a place full of memories. We love the calm lake for skiing and kayaking, grilling hot dogs over the fire pit on summer nights, and cozying up indoors during the winter months.
