About this cottage rental

Situated in Elk Lake, this charming cottage for $1,145 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. 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!

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.

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.

This was the perfect spot for our 3 generation gathering: beautiful house, every detail thought of, every need anticipated. We rented a boat and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the lakes. We didn’t really leave the property, so appreciated all the seating areas in the house and around the property. Really just a lovely place to be.

We loved everything about this place and can't wait to come back. The pictures really do not do it justice. It's beautiful and modern and big. It has virtually everything you could want, all in good working condition and nicely organized. The outdoor space is a dream and the lake is perfect for families with kids because it's shallow and sandy for a long way. (I would recommend bringing water shoes since there are some rocks/tree branches on the bottom. We all ended up wearing ours all the time when we swam or kayaked.) My single complaint (really! the only one!) was that the shutters in the windows in the master bedroom and the other bedroom on the main floor only cover part of the windows, so the rooms get VERY bright VERY early in the morning. Bring an eye mask :-)

Have stayed at this property five summers in a row. Family of 11 from a 6 year old to grandparents in their 70s. We all love it! Beautiful, peaceful setting. We rent a pontoon boat & really enjoy the proximity to both Elk & Torch Lakes. Definitely going back next summer - we all think of it as OUR Lake House.

Our second time renting this beautiful cottage and we had another spectacular week. Multi-generation family gathering, everything in this cottage is thoughtfully laid out for all and made our trip so much easier. The kitchen is so well stocked with equipment , everything clearly labeled, meal preparation was easy. This location on the lake is beautiful, with access easy for all ages. Wonderful combination of comfort , charm and rustic beauty. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Family of 14 has stayed at this house 2 summers, now, and we love everything about the house. Perfect location, super clean and great people to deal with. Can’t say enough about this house. We would not hesitate to rent year after year. Fishing hasn’t been perfect but the fact that we can bring kayaks, paddle boards and our fishing boats just makes this vacation home, the best.
