Traverse City, Michigan
Welcome to Chandler Lake Landing! This hidden gem has only been on the rental market a few years. If you're looking for the classic summertime vacation experience, you'll find it at Chandler Lake Landing.
The 1300 square foot cottage is nestled among the pines on the east end of Chandler Lake - just outside of Traverse City. You'll have a full-length view of the lake from east to west. Amazing sunsets await you. You will be just footsteps from the beautiful lake as you walk out the front door.
On the south side of the property is 18 acreas of State land - truly making this a very private setting. Enjoy the wildlife you may encounter as you drive down the private and wooded lane.
This beautiful cottage has been in the family for more than 30 years, but now the family wants to share it with you! The all-sport lake is a beautiful setting for families to enjoy. Travel over to the sandbar in the middle of the lake to relax, swim and visit with others who love to do the same thing.
As you can see from the pictures, the interior of the cottage has an open layout between the living room, dining room, kitchen and sun porch. So much room for your family to relax and enjoy when they are not outside. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to cook family meals - if you so desire. The outdoor areas offer a couple of different spots for seating and hanging out. While someone grills tonight's dinner on the new gas grill - the rest of you can relax and enjoy a beverage on the outdoor patio.
A special bonus - the Tiki Hut - a separate building from the cottage. Equipped with a mini refrigerator inside and deck with patio furniture outside - your family will love relaxing here. You can even plug in the outside lights at night for more ambiance.
We offer the rental of a pontoon boat to further elevate your enjoyment of the lake. Please ask the host/property manager for details.
Relax and enjoy our little piece of heaven, tucked away in a private setting. You'll feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, but you're just minutes from bustling Traverse City and other area attractions.
Chandler Lake Landing - where memories are made!
Amazing trip amazing place , Loved it
Fantastic!! The unit is wonderful and the property manager is awesome. We really loved our time here.
The cottage is tucked away in beautiful forest with a lovely view of the lake, yet still an easy drive to Traverse City attractions and a grocery store not far away. It was perfectly clean, cozy, and well equipped, with canoe and kayak options to get on the water. We had three couples in our group and found plenty of space and privacy for a relaxing week. Sally was very responsive to help us feel comfortable. A nice bonus was some of the best bass fishing any of us have experienced.
My family & I (7 of us ranging in age from 6 to 65+ years) spent a week at Chandler Lake Landing. The cottage was very clean, the beds are very comfortable and the view of the lake is so beautiful and relaxing! The canoe, kayaks and rowboat all were frequently used to great enjoyment as was the pontoon boat. The weather was fantastic and the cottage is close to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear, etc. for easy day trips. We definitely will keep Chandler Lake Landing as a place to revisit!
We had a wonderful stay at Chandler Lake with our two little boys, who enjoyed the walk-in access to the sandy lake where they were able to wade and splash. The property is quiet and private on a beautiful little lake. While we didn't spend much time in the house, it was perfect for what we needed and Sandy was very helpful in addressing a few things during our stay. We would easily come back again!
This was a great home!! Super location, loved the outdoor seating everywhere!! And loved fishing from the dock!! Northern MI is beautiful!! We’ll be back!
After four long years apart, we wanted a perfect cottage location for adults ranging in age from 50 something to 70 something, and for two almost teenagers. Chandler Lake Landing hit the mark and then some! Clean, well-kept, spacious living, with incredible outdoor spaces, a dock, kayaks, a canoe, and rowboat--we could have stayed a month, happily. The place is clearly tended with love, and we appreciated the personal greetings and touches.
What a beautiful home, lake, and location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved all the wildlife, fishing, and all the fun things to do in the area. Can't wait to go back. Our only wish would be that we could bring our small dog.
Great long weekend away from home! I’m definitely going to be back in touch to come back next year!
Great, relaxing stay at a perfect time of year. This property was just what I expected from the online listing. Secluded yet close enough to all that NW Michigan has to offer.
Had a great time at Chandler Lake. Enjoyed the kayaks and campfires at night. The house was great for 5 adults and had everything we needed. Sally was a communicative host!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and plan on booking again for next year. The house is the only one on the lake with completely flat access to the lake, no steps, etc. We rented the pontoon boat and had a great time fishing - lots of blue gill and largemouth bass. There are also kayaks, a row boat and a canoe with oars and life jackets. The Tiki Hut has a small refrigerator in it which came in handy for beer & bait! This is a cottage so understand the size before you book. The master bedroom and master bath are a fairly good size and the bunk room is also good. However, the other guest room and bath are very small (think RV-size) so just understand this before you book. They say you can put 8 in there and technically you can (with 2 on a sofa bed in the sitting room) but I think it would be tight. I would say maybe 2 adults and four kids would be a good mix. The property manager, Sally, was awesome and answered all of our questions quickly. The location to Traverse City is perfect and yet you are really out in the woods. There are other houses around but you feel like you have a great deal of privacy. I would highly recommend this house!
The cottage is so charming, the lake so clear and beautiful. So relaxing, forget the rest of the world. The sounds of the frogs and crickets at night are sweet lullaby's. The fire pit with s'mores and the family are perfect. This is a place you can come back to year after year!!!
Everything was just perfect!
We wanted a vacation back where I grew up and to introduce two of our grandkids to northern MI. We had a wonderful week exploring the area and playing on the lake. The kids loved paddling out to the sandbar and playing, we all loved sitting around the fire pit making s’mores. The Tiki bar was a bonus the kids loved. Maybe one of the best surprises was that Chandler Lake Landing is tucked in the woods and still right on the lake…we felt like we had our own little oasis.
My family and I very much enjoyed staying here. My husband and I spent 6 nights in the cabin with our 2 yo and 6 yo boys. The cabin's position on the lake makes it feel almost private even though there are homes on either side. The cabin was more spacious than we expected after reading other reviews and the kitchen was very well stocked with equipment. We rented the pontoon boat which was a perfect addition for a family that loves fishing, and spent a few afternoons riding out to the sand bar in the middle of the lake. Sally was very kind and attentive and answered questions very promptly. It strikes a nice balance between cabin and house and though it's still rustic and woodsy, it's also very clean with lots of modern comfort. A very lovely vacation home!
What can we say? Chandler Lake Landing exceeded our expectations. Starting with Sally as the most hospitable host, the cozy home, serene surroundings, fantastic amenites set our two families up for a perfect summer getaway. The remote and tranquil location was just a 15 minute drive to the happenings in downtown TC, striking the perfect balance of chilling out and getting out and about. Our group had four adults and two kids ages 8 and 11, and the layout and size of the house worked out great for everyone. It was pristine, clean, and incredibly well stocked. We all enjoyed tiki bar, fire pit, kayaks, pontoon boat, and caught lots of fish. We all enthusiastically give 5 stars and can't wait to return!
Beautiful property! We enjoyed the sunsets, paddle boat, tiki hut, everything! Such a beautiful place and we loved sitting by the bonfire at night looking at the water, so peaceful!
Everything on the listing was correct. It was a very peaceful weekend and great for anyone who wants to chill and relax. One thing we weren't expecting was the amount of spiders/other bugs inside and around the cottage. It makes sense because the home is nestled in a wooded area, but we didn't realize just how dense the woods were. We didn't feel that the added cleaning responsibilities checking out matched the amount we paid in cleaning fees. If you are looking for a quiet, secluded and peaceful lake setting, this is your spot. The lake is on the smaller side and not very lively--so again perfect for a relaxing weekend. We found ourselves driving into town a lot for something to do, so it was great that it was only a 15-20 minute drive to Traverse City. Overall it was a good experience.
