We had a great time at the waterfront chalet. We brought our boat and put it in Lake Michigan for salmon fishing, then in Hamlin Lake to enjoy water activities with easy access to our boat from the chalet's dock. Check in was easy--their is a house manager that was very responsive to the minor issues we had. The kitchen facilities are great--we did lots of cooking and there was plenty of room for multiple cooks, and it's open to the living area, so the cook never felt excluded. WiFi was non existent really. The travelers with us that needed to work had to use a personal hotspot. It's a fairly remote location, so I guess that is to be expected. There is a long 6 mile dirt road to get the home, but it's truly very tranquil so worth the effort. There are kayaks, a row boat, and a paddle boat, which we enjoyed daily. We loved the beach at Hamlin lake (by boat), and taking evening boat cruises. The walk to Nordhouse Dunes is quite long, but so worth the expansive, pristine beach. On the weekends, the trailhead parking is full, and people are parking on the road, but wait until a weekday, and there was plenty of parking at the trailhead and the beach was practically empty (one day we were the only ones there!). The Meijer store is relatively close by (20 minutes) and downtown Manistee was accessible also. We did not have a mosquito issue the entire week. The A/C keeps the chalet cool, which is great since the bunk room is upstairs. Thank you to our hosts!
