Sleeping Bear Chalet - Birch, MI Northern Michigan's Perfect Base Camp

YOUR PERFECT NORTHERN MICHIGAN BASECAMP AWAITS

Nestled among towering trees in Cedar, MI, Sleeping Bear Chalet is where your Northern Michigan adventure story begins. This charming alpine-inspired retreat combines the tranquility of a private woodland setting with unbeatable access to the region's most beloved destinations.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Just minutes from everything: 6 minutes to Good Harbor Bay's pristine sandy beaches, 17 minutes to the charming village of Glen Arbor, 17 minutes to world-famous Sleeping Bear Dunes, 2 minutes to Sugarloaf Golf Course (The Old Course), and 31 minutes to Traverse City's wine country and dining.

THE EXPERIENCE
Wake up to birdsong and morning coffee on your private deck. Spend your day building sandcastles with the kids, conquering the legendary dunes, perfecting your golf swing, or discovering hidden gems in quaint lakeside towns. As evening arrives, gather around the outdoor picnic table for dinner beneath a canopy of stars.

WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL
Prime location without the crowds - enjoy easy access while returning to peaceful seclusion. Family-friendly comfort with space for everyone to relax and recharge. Four-season getaway featuring summer beaches, fall colors, winter coziness, and spring awakening. Tree-filled lot offering natural privacy and that authentic "up north" feeling. Authentic Northern Michigan charm - this isn't a luxury resort, but a genuine woodland retreat.

YOUR DAYS MIGHT LOOK LIKE THIS

What a beautiful home! We didn’t spend much time here as we were there for a wedding but when we did it was everything we needed. The host was lovely, very quick response to the few questions I had. Super cozy and cute, would definitely stay here again!
