Chalet Estates is a 41-lot community on Pickerel Lake Road in Petoskey, Emmet County-a lakeside area known for outdoor recreation and seasonal appeal. The park has operated since 1970 and welcomes residents of all ages, including pet owners.
Lot rent ranges from $475 to $725 monthly and includes trash pickup, water, and sewer service. The community operates on well water and septic systems, with paved streets and off-street parking throughout.
Petoskey sits near the northern tip of the Lower Peninsula, roughly 40 miles from Traverse City. The area draws visitors year-round for Lake Michigan access, hiking, and winter sports. Summer brings tourism and seasonal activity; winters are cold and snow-heavy, typical of northern Michigan. Local shopping, dining, and services cluster in downtown Petoskey, a short drive away.
This is a straightforward, established community suited to residents seeking a smaller-scale park setting in a region with distinct seasonal character.
Chalet Estates is located in Climate Zone 5. A COLD climate is defined as a region with between 5,400 and 9,000 heating degree days (65°F basis).
