Cub Hill Chalet on Cub Lake - Private Lakefront, Dock, Raft, Water Toys, Huge Deck, and Spa!

This is a beautiful, family and dog-friendly chalet on wonderfully pristine Cub Lake between Kalkaska and Grayling. The home features a huge multi-level deck with lakeview and a new year-round spa / hot tub on the deck with a view of the lake. Also includes private lakefront with a dock, raft, bonfire ring with chairs, 4 kayaks, 3 paddleboards, a canoe, and a pedal boat! Works both as a great family or small group vacation home as well as a wonderfully romantic getaway for couples!


ACCESS:

Guests have full access to the entire house. The only space that is locked off for storage of the owners' property is the garage.


THE SPACE:

In summary, this is a family-friendly property in a very quiet and family-friendly neighborhood. It is meant for QUIET enjoyment of the home and its environment. If you are looking for a place to party and/or you anticipate being loud during your stay, we kindly ask that you book elsewhere.

Inside, the home is filled with beautiful original artwork created by the property owner. The chalet has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and sleeps up to 10 people. (We only permit a maximum of 6 adults though.) Three of the bedrooms have queen-size beds and the largest of the 4 bedrooms is set-up with 3 twin-size beds. One of the bedrooms is on the first floor and the other 3 bedrooms are on the second floor. There is a bathroom on each floor.

The cottage does not have air-conditioning, but all of the bedrooms have fans in them. The cottage has a nice cozy living room with a large flat-screen television and a wood fireplace. There is a cute kitchen which is fully stocked with a good supply of cooking and dining utensils, which are all available for guests to use. There is a small laundry area with a top load washer and dryer near the kitchen. The cottage also has a cute dining area (next to the kitchen and living room), with a dining table and seating for 6 people. The vacation home is beautifully designed around Cub Lake, with the living room, dining room, and two of the four bedrooms all having views of the lake. Two of the cottage's bedrooms open up to a lovely second floor balcony that has a wonderful view of Cub Lake.

The home also has super-fast high-speed Wi-Fi from Spectrum with up to 1000 Mbps speed! There are 5 televisions in the home, with each bedroom having its own television. All of the televisions are equipped with live-streaming from Roku that includes Hulu live-streaming, Pureflix, Netflix, and Disney+. The home has its own well for water, but it does have a water softener that softens all of the water.

Outside, the home has a huge multi-level deck with a nice view of Cub Lake and lots of seating and space for outdoor dining. There is a GORGEOUS NEW 4-PERSON HOT TUB / SPA on the deck that has its own view of the lake and is available for use year-round. There is also a gas grill and a picnic table on the deck.

Cub Lake is a "no wake lake". Pontoon boats and small fishing boats are allowed, but other motorized boats are not. Jet skis are explicitly prohibited. This makes the lake particularly great for kayaking and paddleboarding! As previously mentioned, the chalet has its own private lakefront with a dock, raft, 4 kayaks, 3 paddleboards, a canoe, and a pedal boat, all of which are available for guests to use! Guests are also very welcome to bring their own pontoon boat and/or non-motorized watercraft and use the property's boat dock for mooring.

Cub Lake is great for kayaking and canoeing and there are also bass, bluegill, and perch in the lake for fishing. There is also a very nice fire ring with chairs on the private beach for having bonfires and s'mores on the beach. In the winter, Cub Hill is great for sledding with kids and adults being able to sled from the deck down to Cub Lake on the hill. Please note that sledding at the property can be quite dangerous though, so please follow the rules for sledding that are included with this listing.


TRANSPORTATION:

It is highly recommended that guests have their own vehicle for transportation.


PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

1) GARAGE: The chalet does have a detached garage, but this is not available for guest usage.

2) DRIVEWAY: The end of the driveway is marked with reflective stakes. Please do not drive past the reflective stakes as the drain field for the property is located just past the stakes.

3) RULES FOR THE HOT TUB:
* Please shower before using the hot tub.
* There is a floating device in the hot tub that dispenses bromine to kill bacteria. To keep the hot tub clean and free of bacteria, do not remove the bromine floaty from the hot tub.
* To keep the hot tub warm and clean, please keep the lid on the hot tub whenever it is not in use.
* For the safety of you and your child, please do not use the hot tub if you are pregnant or may be pregnant.

4) RULES FOR SLEDDING:
* Sledding on the hill can be very dangerous. Guests are allowed to sled on the hill AT THEIR OWN RISK.
* Do not sled on the hill AT ALL If the hill is icy or excessively fast.
* Do not sled on the hill unless the lake is fully frozen.
* You must wear a helmet while sledding.
* Ride your sled only in a seated position. DO NOT SLIDE DOWN THE HILL HEAD FIRST!

5) PET RULES:
* We allow up to 3 dogs. More than 3 dogs is strictly prohibited.
* Pets other than dogs are also strictly prohibited.
* If you are bringing 1 to 3 dogs, please make certain that the dogs are included on the reservation and that the pet fee is appropriately paid accordingly.

6) RULES FOR FIREPLACE:
* There is a wood fireplace in the living room that guests are welcome to use.
* Please make certain that the flume is open while using the fireplace so that smoke goes up the chimney appropriately.
* We do not provide firewood.
* Please only burn firewood in the fireplace. Do not burn any paper, plastic, trash, glass, or metal in the fireplace.

7) RULES FOR BONFIRES:
* Do not have bonfires if there are any kind of fire warnings for the area.
* Please make certain that any bonfires are fully extinguished WITH LOTS OF WATER FROM THE LAKE before leaving the area.
* Do not move the bonfire ring to another location.
* Before having a bonfire, please check the state map on Michigan's DNR website to see if fires are currently allowed or not. Only have a bonfire if they are currently permitted in the area.

8) RULES FOR DOCK, RAFT, AND WATERCRAFT:
* Do not misuse the watercraft or horseplay with any of the watercraft.
* Do not run on the dock.
* There is no diving from the dock or from the raft (i.e. do not go into the water headfirst from the dock or the raft).
* Do not transport any of the watercraft to any other location other than Cub Lake.

9) AGE REQUIREMENT: All guests must be at least 25 years old or accompanied by a parent / guardian.

10) MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY: We allow a maximum of 6 adults. Including children, a maximum of 10 people are allowed.

11) TRASH: A "bear-proof" container for trash is provided for guest usage next to the road. Trash pick-up is usually on Tuesdays. Please note that there are bears in the area, so precautions with trash must be taken. Do not leave any trash outside unless it is in the container by the road. Also, to avoid mess and smell, only use large, strong, black bags for trash.

12) WATER HEATER / WATER SOFTENER: The water heater and water softener are located in the closet of the first floor bedroom. Thus, the closet of the first floor bedroom is basically not available for use. The water softener and water heater can both make noises while they are running and this may occur during the nighttime hours, so light sleepers would probably prefer one of the upstairs bedrooms. (As an alternative, the pedestal fan in the first floor bedroom can be used as white noise to block the sounds from the water heater and water softener.)

A wonderful week on Cub Lake!
Wow... Staying at this chalet was a wonderful experience for my wife, son and Grandsons . I will definitely reserve a week next year at this location. 60 years ago my parents bought a cottage on Cub Lake. My happiest childhood memories are of being there. I turned 66 while we were there .

Amazing cabin
What an amazing cabin to rent. We have rented all over northern Michigan and this place has been our favorite by a landslide. Quiet, well kept, hot tub, lake. It has it all. We took our dog and i think he liked it better than we did. Tabitha was great with communication!! Thank you all so much. We will be back soon!
