Chalet Use/Rental
The Chalet is used for a
rustic warming house during winter activity hours of operation as listed below. The Chalet is a great place to go after a
cold day of play outdoors. Enjoy a beautiful stone fireplace, buy a hot
chocolate, and watch the action from large picture windows that look out onto
the grounds. The Chalet has restrooms, telephones, and a snack bar. During winter activities, the Chalet cannot be reserved for
private parties or allow outside food.
Reserve the Chalet: From April 15-October 15 each year, the
Chalet is the perfect place for a baby shower, meeting, birthday party, or
other special event. It holds up to 54
people (contains eight 6’ picnic tables), and there’s a kitchen/serving area
with refrigerator available. Call
989-837-6930 after the second Monday in January to reserve the Chalet from
April 15 – October 15.
