Ski-In/Ski-Out Chalet at the Top of The Highlands!

Tucked into nature at the top of The Highlands of Harbor Springs, a ski and golf resort, and perfect for year-round vacationing in Harbor Springs, yet minutes to Petoskey! This 3,200 square foot privately owned chalet boasts views overlooking the Lois Lane ski run. One of the highest residences at The Highlands, truly ski-in/ski-out, and a perfect place to wake up, strap on your skis, and hit the slopes. Please note that our rental property can comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests.

Featuring five bedrooms and four bathrooms with additional loft space for sleeping. The main level offers an open floor plan with lots of windows, a vaulted great room, and gas fireplace – all which make it easy to take in the views of skiers going by or the beautiful fall colors. Catering to large groups, you’ll find two primary suites with private baths, one with a king and one with a queen, and two more bedrooms, one with two full beds, the other with 2 bunkbeds (twin over full). The fifth bedroom has a queen and there is loft space for extra sleeping arrangements. *The 6 twin cots are available for use, but linens are not provided. The gourmet kitchen includes everything you’ll need to prepare meals and gather with your friends and family. The large wraparound deck features a six-person hot tub, gas grill, and large patio set. The backyard is perfect for yard games and when it’s time to go in for the night your entertainment doesn’t need to stop. A spacious game room can be found in the lower level, complete with a second full size refrigerator, pool table, air hockey table, and flat screen TV. This spacious, well-appointed chalet accommodates large groups well – allowing ample room to gather as well as private space for downtime.

*This unit is dog-friendly and a pet fee applies, please inquire within if you plan to bring a dog with you.

Ski weekend
We had a great time at the Ski Chalet for the weekend. The ski-in/ski-out was great, but just wished the new chair lift ran longer in the afternoon. We had an issue with the hot tub, and the property manager responded quickly.

Great place and location with a catch
The house is great, clean, well appointed and easy to get to the lifts by skiing right out the back. The catch is that the only lift that serves this side of the hill closes an hour before everything else. If you’re not careful you may get stranded at the base with no easy way back to the house. We enjoyed the stay a great deal. However, for open to close skiers or boarders it’s a little disappointing that you have to drive to the main base area anyway if you want to have an easy way home after.

Lovely wooded retreat
Our big family group loved the place in early October and can only imagine how great it would be as a ski vacation. Management was very responsive — we had a plumbing issue and they sent an emergency plumber on Friday night. Strange problem that the front door code stopped working after the initial check-in, but the garage entrance remained usable so no harm done. Kitchen is beautifully appointed and the gift of American Spoon jam and BBQ sauce was a sweet Up-North-forward gesture! Great spot for walking on the ski trails behind the house and we enjoyed the hot tub — fire out will have to wait for next time.

The house was spotless, the kitchen was well stocked with anything we could have needed for cooking large meals, and the propert was overall very well maintained. There were plenty of sleeping options for all and it was so nice to have multiple private bathrooms for guests. We enjoyed the hot tub each night after a long day of skiing.

Golf weekend getaway
Great house for our group of 8. Plenty of beds and lounging areas. Basement is an added perk. Outdoor area is great with hot tub, grill, large yard for lawn games and a firepit. Hosts were communicative and easy to work with. Definitely will try and reserve for next year's trip!

We had a group of 12 golfers stay at this lovely house for a week. It was perfect for us. Close to the golf courses. The hot tub was great after a long day of golf. The house was in great condition with all the amenities that you could hope for. We hope to stay again in the future.

Family Fun
This place was great for our growing family! We were in for a family wedding and the place worked out great for all of us. The kids enjoyed the outside tremendously and loved eating outside on porch. Great place for families and definitely would stay here again.!! Shampoo , soap and such was small but we managed . I would recommend cleaning the living room fan at some point, pretty dusty :/ Anyway, great place!

Felt like a Mountain Getaway!
We had a great stay at this property. You had to climb The Highlands slope in your car to get there, and it truly felt like we were away from it all. It was nice to have the hot tub, basement activities, and a yard to set up our crossnet volleyball net. Lots to do just at the house. We also liked that it was equidistant to Petoskey and Harbor Springs. We spent most of our time in these 2 towns.

Great house for annual friends trip
The house and yard are great for a long weekend. Would be great for a ski weekend being on the slope. A couple minor things that could use touch up, i.e. towel bar wouldn't stay on in one bathroom, basement fridge could use a cleaning and price was considerably higher this year than past. Issues were minor things nothing that would change the 5 star thoughts of the property. The price will have us checking out other listings. Overall, tough to beat for a 3-4 family gathering.
