With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the home comfortably accommodates your group and features a private shoreline with dock, boat lift, and private boat launch. Spend your days kayaking or canoeing on the calm lake, fishing from the dock, or exploring nearby ATV and snowmobile trails. Evenings are best enjoyed around the fire pit or grilling out while watching the sunset over the water.

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.
