Enjoy the best of both worlds: woods and lake!!! This unique wood covered home is perfect for a quiet couple or a large family gathering. The house is a short, scenic drive through the woods that ends at a small gathering of houses. There are woods on 3 sides of the 3 bedroom, 2 bath chalet. Vaulted ceilings and wood beams add to the open floor plan.

Enjoy the large, two level deck that faces towering trees, wildlife, and undeveloped land on one side of the house, or have some coffee or a cocktail on the balcony on the other side of the house while enjoying the sounds of Cranberry Lake. Grilling is easy with thegas grill.

The beach access is a 2 minute drive back through the woods and around the corner, or you can make the short walk.

THERE IS NO DIRECT ACCESS TO LAKE FROM HOUSE.
The lake has a volleyball net, play area, designated swim area, and picnic tables. The boat launch is just on the other side of the lake. The house provides beach chairs, beach towels, and rafts for you to use. Just pack your swimsuit and head up!

The master bedroom is on the main floor and has an attached master bathroom. The master bath has a full tub/shower and double sinks. The new full sized washer and dryer is also located here.

The upstairs is divided into two sleeping SPACES with one room that sleeps 4 and the other room sleeping two. There are NO DOORS, but do have privacy curtains. Both rooms have private, attached balconies for added outdoor space and views. There is a new air conditioning unit upstairs, and the cross breeze from both balcony doors cools things off nicely.

The large family room has plenty of seating to watch the brand new Smart TV or play games. Just log in to your Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, HBO GO, or MLB accounts. It can also be used to surf the internet, as the house has free Wifi. There is NO cable tv. The fire place is NOT for use either. There is a cabinet filled with games for all ages, and coloring supplies.

There is a free standing air conditioner unit that cools the downstairs, and another one upstairs.

The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, so there's no need to go crazy packing up your extras (plastic wrap, foil, paper towels, spices, condiments, utensils, bakeware, plates/cups, etc. There's even a dishwasher to make your vacation even easier!!! Brand new fridge in 2020.

Off the kitchen is the 2nd bathroom with a stand up shower.

All linens, towels, and bedding freshly washed and waiting for each renter.

The yard has a fire pit, hammock, and plenty of space for yard games. There is a new 5 foot fenced in separate yard for your four legged family members (pet fees apply).

It's a quick 10 min. drive into the town of Harrison. Harrison has breakfast places, restaurants, bars, grocery stores, a Rite Aid, ice cream stores, fruit markets, a cafe and bakery, and fun local shopping. Lots of menus and local information are provided in the Welcome Book in the house.

For an adventurous day, explore the local skiing, golfing, zip lining, state hiking trails, canoeing, tubing, go carts, batting cages, put put golf, hunting and the area's ATV and ORV trails.

For a more leisurely day try Clare County's antiquing, farmers' markets, multiple seasonal festivals, and the shops, bakeries, and driving tour of the area's Amish community.

Excellent location for day trips!

    the property was very lovely, and as described. Would highly recommend. We, and more so our pet, were made to feel very welcome. The beach was very close drive, it was nice and clean as well. We would like to book there again, perhaps for a short winter romantic getaway :)

    Such a wonderful stay at Cranberry Chalet, we didn’t want to leave! The chalet was clean and just as described. We received a very warm welcome with special emphasis on our furry family member . The beach and swimming area was super close and was frequented each day. Thank you, Jennifer, for your kindness, responsiveness and for offering Cranberry Chalet for others to enjoy. We hope to be back soon!!

    Cranberry Cottage was the perfect holiday setting with festive summer holiday decorations, great space for seating, outside events, inside conversation and sleep for a larger group. Loved the accommodations and special treats for the doggo's! Every possible comfort and unexpected treat was provided for the humans and non-humans right down to the welcome sign on the door. Excellent communications with the host; I could not think of a single thing to improve! GREAT EXPERIENCE!!

    Cottage was perfect for our family. Chalet was clean, but could use a deep clean. Kitchen had many of the things we needed to make meals. The neighborhood was very quiet, even though it was 4th of July week. Our dog Milo loved his walks and fenced area to do his business. If you are looking for a quiet stay, this is the place!

    Our family enjoyed this home and being off the beaten path. Jennifer is a great host. We travelled with our dog and they made his arrival special. Welcoming him with food and water dishes, treats and noted welcoming him and his humans. Highly recommend!!
