Tavi Haus: Lakefront~Kayaks~SUP~Sauna~Pool Table

Enjoy private lakefront living in this stunning, modern chalet.

You won't want to miss the opportunity to get away from it all and live like a Northern Michigander.

Excellent place for families to have room to spend time together, and have plenty of space as needed inside and outside. Everything was clean and comfortable, communication was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
