Dive into Summer Bliss at Winter-Chard: Swimming, Sunsets, and Endless Lake Life Adventures

As you step into our Higgins Lake cabin, the warm sunshine and gentle breeze off the lake envelop you, immediately putting you at ease. Summer has arrived at Winter-Chard Lake Forest Chalet, and with it, endless opportunities to soak up the sun, cool off in the crystal-clear waters of Higgins Lake, and bask in the tranquility of our forest surroundings. Whether you’re looking to relax and unwind or get your adrenaline pumping with water sports and activities, our mid-century modern coastal-style chalet is the perfect base for your summer adventure.

The days stretch long and lazy, with plenty of time to lounge on the beach, take a dip in the lake, or try your hand at paddleboarding or kayaking. As the sun begins to set, the sky is painted with hues of pink and orange, casting a warm glow over the lake and surrounding forest. It’s the perfect time to gather around the fire pit, roast some marshmallows, and watch the stars twinkle to life above. Our chalet is designed to bring the outdoors in, with large windows and sliding glass doors that blur the lines between inside and out, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Higgins Lake.

As you explore the area, you’ll discover a wealth of summer activities and attractions to enjoy.
