About this property
Sandy Beach Chalet with Fire-pit on the Lake
Summers on the lake, breathtaking tall trees and fall colors, countless winter activities, and cool spring nights around the fire, this chalet-style cottage offers it all. Located on Secord Lake in beautiful Gladwin County. Secord Lake is approximately 815 sq acres and about 40 feet at its deepest point. Anglers can expect to find a variety of fish including Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Rainbow Trout, Rock Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch. Lots of nearby lakes to explore, minutes from state land for hunting, and a variety of local restaurants and bars to try.
The cottage is in the perfect location on the lake, tucked in a slight cove with a sandy beach and unique fire-pit overlooking the water, and ready for relaxing with 6 Adirondack chairs. Wake up to glass-calm waters and take in the view with your morning coffee (coffee pods and tea provided). Be sure to curl up next to the crackling wood fireplace, while cozying up to watch a movie, play games or enjoy the moon glistening over the lake. You'll find a variety of fun board games, a full poker set, activity books, coloring books, stickers, blocks, and puzzles. Also equipped with (3) smart TVs and high-speed internet. The lower level has a large sectional, DVD player, and 55" flatscreen with surround sound so you can have a memorable movie night with the whole family. For those who need to get a little work done we’ve got a space for that too. Equipped with a desk, ergonomic chair, keyboard, and monitor with HDMI cord (second monitor available if requested). Enjoy preparing meals together in the large kitchen, with modern appliances, granite countertops, and a large kitchen island. A quiet, peaceful sleep awaits in the four sleeping areas with nearly all new Casper mattresses, soft linens, and extra blankets. Two full bathrooms, one sits right off the main floor bedroom and another next to the built-in bunk bed on the lower level, creating a private sleeping quarter for kids or adults. The first floor and lower floor walk out directly to the lake so keeping an eye on kids or running back to grab a drink or extra beach towel is no problem at all. Finally, the large deck, equipped with a gas BBQ, dining for 6, and 3 additional lounging chairs is the perfect place to take it all in.
There are trails within walking distance and access to state hunting land and ORV trails just a short drive away. Centrally located between West Branch and Gladwin giving you easy access to lots of restaurants and shopping. This charming cottage is the absolute perfect place to create family memories that will last a lifetime. Please note: the hot tub is not currently functional. Sorry for the inconvenience on inconvenience.
