Williamsburg, Michigan
Nestled among towering pines and hardwoods, this beautifully built craftsman style cottage home is ideally located on quiet Lake Skegemog and provides boat access to Torch, Elk, and Clam Lakes and Lake Bellaire. The well designed home features plenty of room for family and friends to enjoy time together or find a quiet space to relax and enjoy the solitude. There is no need to sacrifice the comforts of home with this well appointed property.
Lake Skegemog is not quite as well known as her sister lakes, Torch and Elk, but there are many advantages. The water warms much earlier in the season making early season swims or ski sessions much more enjoyable. Relative to Torch and Elk, there is much less boat traffic on Skegemog so quiet moments are much easier to come by. The fishing on Skegemog is also much more accessible with shallower water and tremendous populations of bass, perch, pike and world class musky.
Skegemog Point road is a breathtaking tree lined lane extending north directly from M-72 providing very quick access to Traverse City and downstate. Because the road terminates at the water, there is no through traffic providing a great atmosphere for morning walks.
We were completely wowed. The home is gorgeous, comfortably furnished, and very well organized. It was immaculate when we arrived and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The lake frontage is exceptionally beautiful, with lots of trees, ferns, and seating areas. The photos are accurate but it looks even better in person. It’s in a quiet, friendly neighborhood that’s close to TC without being in the middle of it all.
We absolutely loved this property! We have been to northern MI several times and this was by far the best house that we have stayed at! We loved sitting at the dock or in the Adirondack chairs. We will definitely look to rent this house again when we come back!
Had a fantastic time with our family. Pictures do not do justice to the setting and accommodations. Would highly recommend staying here.
We had such a wonderful time at this home! Beautiful setting and so very clean!!
Home was extremely well organized and cozy comfortable in its decor choices. A classic lake house cottage feel with high end appointments. Pictures online do not do home/property full justice. Easily slept and housed 10 adults.
THIS HOUSE WAS FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE MAIN HOUSE WHERE A NUMBER OF OUR GROUP WAS STAYING
Our family consisted of folks ages 76 to 7 including our son and a great grandson who each have some special needs. We've stayed together at wonderful homes in upper Michigan before but never as spectacular as the house on Skegemog Lake. The house was spotless, decorated beautifully and had everything we needed to be comfortable, even a niche hear and there to read or take a nap. There were directions for the use of the outside grill, starting the gas fireplace in the main living space, operation of all the fan and light switches and appliances. The dining area table that accommodated our entire group was one of the features that everyone loved. We were able to rent a pontoon boat and jet skis near by and also drove the short drive to Leland to go charter fishing and enjoyed great success. My family and I are already looking forward to going back to Lake Skegemog and we just got home. Sincerely, Jim Nicolai
This was a great property for our family vacation! The house had plenty of space of our family (8 adults and 2 infants) with enough common area space that we could spread out. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking meals. The kids had plenty of room to play inside and outside. The screened-in porch was perfect for evenings to avoid bugs. There is a great dock and it was easy to dock the boat at. The water stays shallow for a ways out and has a sandy bottom which was nice for swimming. Overall, I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun week in Northern Michigan!
Over the years, our extended family (including granddaughters, now aged 5 & 12) have stayed in many VRBOs here & abroad. Forest Haven has proven to be the best experience ever!!! The location of this property on beautiful Lake Skegemog cannot be beat for relaxation & accessibility to other nearby lake recreation. This home was beautiful in every way & outfitted with EVERY possible need for our family! We were all blown away by the thought integrated into every detail! Mandy, the Property Manager, was incredibly helpful & kind; which was so appreciated! Our family adventure at this property was so wonderful in every possible way!!!
We have been coming to Northern Michigan for a week every summer for 25+ years and this property was one of the very best! The little sand beach was perfect for our small children, the swimming raft was great for the teenagers, and the many areas to sit outside and relax were perfect for the adults. The hosts have thought of every possible need in the house from the kitchen to the very comfortable beds, the sun room with toys for kids and a well stocked game cupboard. We loved how everything was labeled and instructions for various appliances were easily found. And the huge kitchen table allowed us to all eat together and play games together. This is a wonderful property for families to enjoy time together but also provides quiet spaces when needed.
