Traverse City, Michigan
Welcome to Chandler's Charm! This adorable cottage lives up to it's name. Newly renovated with a huge deck overlooking beautiful all sports Chandler Lake.
Take advantage of the awesome sunsets from the large windows in the cottage, the new deck or the new dock. Enjoy the abundant wildlife that you may see on the road or across the street in the township park. Chandler Lake is a great little lake without a lot of boat traffic. Excellent fishing for large mouth bass, blue gill, sunfish and pike. Great lake for kayaking, floating on rafts, paddle boarding, hanging out on the sand bar. Enjoy the lake by kayak (2 included in rental) or rent our pontoon boat for your cruising pleasure. For more information on the pontoon rental, please ask the host/property manager.
We've truly spent the extra time to create a great vacation get away - from the canoe paddle bed to the pendant lights made from reclaimed minnow buckets. The furnishings of the cottage will make you smile as soon as you walk in the door. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'll need for cooking meals - if you so desire. Comfortable beds - with new memory foam mattresses - will be waiting for you after your day on the lake or your day of exploring the beautiful Traverse City area. There is also a brand new mattress for the sofa bed in the living room. A new hot water heater and water softener will love add to the pleasure of your stay. The updates and attention to detail will ensure that your have a great stay and make you want to return year after year!
Among the many great things this property has to offer is the wide lot providing extra privacy for you to enjoy the peaceful lake and neighborhood. Directly across the quiet road is an 80 acre park with walking & biking trails, pavilion, small playground and restroom. A little further down the road is Grace McDonald Park with tennis courts/pickle ball courts, basketball, large playground, baseball diamond, expansive trails, grills and picnic tables.
If you'd like to travel with your fur baby - we have recently become pet friendly. For an additional pet fee, you are able to bring one 50-pound or less dog. Please be sure to select "traveling with pets" to ensure the pet fee is added to your reservation.
This country setting will make you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, yet you are only minutes from downtown Traverse City and area attractions. It's great to have the best of everything and that's what Chandler's Charm provides.
Travel to northern Michigan and enjoy your quiet oasis at Chandler's Charm. You're going to love it up here!
Thank you Sally fora perfect stay. Your cottage was perfect for our long weekend. The view from the back deck was beautiful. Will be back again.
Nice home on the lake...too cold in October to take advantage, but was nice to see. Very quiet neighborhood, with a nature trail a few houses down on other side of street that connects to the nearby park. We were there a week. Beds and furniture were comfortable. Convenient to Traverse City, groceries, and touring around the area. Plenty of dishes and cookware, but could use some wine glasses! Some big runner rugs and a large inside door mat are needed. We kept tracking in sand despite our best efforts and the rugs they had were not latex backed so slid around the floors. Small rugs by beside would be nice too, as the floors were very cold and sand still ended up in bed! One thing we missed having was a smart TV so that we could stream Netflix, Hulu etc. They have Direct TV, but like cable, there is little good content, unless you like religion and infomercials! We had some colder rainy days and it gets dark early in October, so would have been nice to have streaming TV.
We had a great time at Traverse City during our visit. This cottage was beautiful, clean, and just perfect for our getaway. It had enough places for our toddler to run around and it's close driving distance to playgrounds, hiking, and shops. We will be coming back.
I recommend this place to everyone!!! Property is located directly at the lake, very clean inside and outside, very good location, has more than you need it ??! Plus the Owners are amazing people! Very helpful, very reachable 24/7 and welcomed us with a great hospitality! Thank you Sally! I This place is unique and definitely worth visiting!!!? It definitely deserves a 5 star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Enjoyed this place. Came for the first time, to see Torch Lake and do some Kayaking on surrounding rivers. Had a wonderful time. This was our Anniversary weekend. Nice and quite location was so peacful to see the sun rise and set on the lake. Definitely want to visy again. Only down fall there wasn't a washer and dryer. But that wouldn't deter me on staying again.
We had the best week at Chandlers Charm. It was home away from home and that allowed us all to relax and enjoy our stay. We traveled around sight seeing and the location was the perfect location on a beautiful lake. The cottage is clean, updated and so cute. Sally is a great host and and she sets you up with everything you need to start your stay. it was great being able to meet her personally and she’s available whenever you need her. We highly recommend and we will definitely be back to stay at at one of her properties in the very near future.
Close to traverse city. Nice peaceful lake for kayaking and fishing. Attentive property manager.
The property was very much as advertised. Well equipped, nice deck and furniture, inside was furnished nicely and clean. The property manager was very helpful and available and helped us out with a minor car emergency. The only thing we wished it had was a better sandy swimming area in front of the cottage.
Chandlers Charm is one of a kind. When we first arrived we were awestruck with the beauty of the area and the location of the cabin on the lake. From the first moment we arrived till our departure we had the most awesome vacation in recent years. Sally was so nice and accommodating, we couldn't ask for a better host. Sally went above and beyond for us. We will definitely be returning. Thanks for making our vacation so great. The Johnsons(Warren Monica Rachell Ammon)
Chandler’s Charm is an adorable cabin. Very welcoming and incredibly peaceful. We were looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and this oasis is exactly what we needed. Nestled in the trees with a beautiful lake front view, we woke up every morning to let the kids fish as we sat on the doc and just took in the scenery, listening to leaves rusting in the wind and hearing the birds chirping. We even took the kayaks out for a short time too. My youngest son was so excited when he saw a whitetail deer run through the trees between properties as well! One recommendation, please consider a new mattress for the sleeper sofa. The current one has been worn over the years, so we used some extra towels to add a little more cushion for my oldest. We already discussed it with Sally, and she assured us she would bring it to the owner’s attention. Aside from that, everything was wonderful, and Sally is awesome!!! We would definitely book there again.
Wonderful cottage. Very nice furnishings and beautiful view. Great location - so close to Traverse City. Sally, the property manager, is very responsive to any questions. Only downside for us, because we're in our 70s is the 71 steps from the cottage to the lake.
We really enjoyed this place. Just enough for our family of 5, enjoyed kayaking, fishing and going into traverse city for eating and shopping. Thank you!
It was super easy to be in touch with the host, Sally. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed (except a washer/dryer, but we used a laundromat in Traverse City). The cottage had AC, but the temps were mild enough that we didn't even use it. The best part is the nice little dock 70 steps down from the cottage. We sat there every evening and enjoyed the view. So much to do in the area!! We shopped in Traverse City, went kayaking, toured The Asylum at The Villages, visited breweries and wineries and enjoyed campfires. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks, Sally and Matt!!!
Once again, we had a fabulous stay at Chandler's Charm! It really does have everything one could need or want for a relaxing getaway! From kayaking and fishing, sitting on the deck for a morning cup of coffee, relaxing in front of the TV, cooking a meal, making smores around the fire pit, this place truly has it all! The beds are comfortable, the water is hot and the air conditioning is cold, Sally is super responsive and friendly and truly made the stay even more enjoyable. It was just what our family needed to get away and have a relaxing vacation!
The house was perfect for a small family
