From your first step into our home you will be welcomed by the warmth of a not-so-traditional-log-cabin. Take a dip in the 8-person hot tub or enjoy your favorite movie on the 120″ projector screen.
The space
There are two bedrooms on the main level with a Queen bed in each. These are connected by a full Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Off the hallway is a full bathroom with a clawfoot tub. Around the corner is the living room where we provide a fire’s worth of wood, to help you enjoy those cold nights. In the dining room is a ‘Welcome Booklet’ that will provide all of the information needed about the cabin. You may also find some treats on the buffet table to enjoy along with a charging station for your devices. The dining room table has seating for 8, with 3 more available to sit at the bar. There is additional seating on the backyard deck for 6.
At the back of the house is a 8-person hot tub – great for a post 18-hole day or to enjoy a glass of wine after spending the day shopping in Grand Rapids. Adjacent to the hot tub room is what we call the “library”, here you will find a piano and acoustic guitar for your playing pleasure.
Around the corner is a fully stocked kitchen which includes a coffee bar and Brita pitcher. Take your coffee out to the front porch and relax in one of our several rocking chairs.
As you take a step up to the second level, you will enter our “Ski Loft”. Here everything is reminiscent of the neighboring ski resort, Bittersweet. You will find an additional full bathroom with a shower/tub combo. All of our bathrooms are stocked with Shampoo and Conditioner.
Just off the bathroom is the primary bedroom. There are two King-sized beds in this room perfect for two couples. Off to the side is a desk and chair, incase you need to shoot off some emails between hands of cards.
Down the hall of the “Ski Loft” is a Full-sized bed as well as a futon incase you need additional sleeping space. To the back off the loft is the fourth bedroom, that houses both a Twin and a Queen bed. All of the rooms have a Roku TV, a personal fan (incase you are a hot sleeper) as well as luggage racks for your bags.
In the basement you will step into the “Golf Club”, where you will find 6 different arcade games ranging from Pac-Man to Golden Tee. There is a gym with a stationary bike and treadmill. Around the corner is a 120” projector screen where you can watch your favorite movies on stadium seating.
In the rear of the basement is a laundry room with two sets of stacked Whirlpool washers and dryers that are free for your use. You will find free-and-clear detergent, fabric softener and dryer sheets on the shelves.
On the back deck is a propane BBQ grill and dining table. In the backyard you can enjoy a fire at the propane table with ample seating for your group. The backyard butts up to the Lake Monterey Golf Course, where in the winter, you can snowshoe and cross-country ski.
Throughout the house we have installed baby gates on the stairs and have a highchair and travel Pack ‘n Play available. Please keep a watchful eye on little ones up in the “Ski Loft” and near the Hot Tub.
