“It has been almost a year since our last visit to Chimney Corners. First off, I wanted to say that it was the best vacation that I have ever had and that includes trips out of the country :). Marc and I had such a wonderful time that we still talk about it and recommend you guys to anyone who asks.”

ABOUT US

Since 1935, Chimney Corners has been welcoming guests to the shores of Crystal Lake. Named for the four, hand-built chimneys in our historic Lodge, the resort continues to evoke memories of it’s vintage past, while still incorporating some modern touches. While the units still do not have TV’s, we do have Wi-fi in most areas, and cell phones have made the “no phones in cottages” obsolete. Third generation owners, Jim and Mary Rogers continually make improvements to the various cottages, but strive to retain the vintage character our guests love.

"65 years ago this year, Edith Fox from Cincinnati first dug her feet in the Chimney Corners’ sands. She beckoned her extended family to come, and they did, and to this day we honor her by continuing the traditions of our dear Aunt Teed. This never-ending reunion remains our renaissance. No matter what type of year, we always know we have our beloved Chimney Corners on Crystal Lake."

“The incomparable natural beauty and recreational opportunities of the area along with the unique history, character, spaciousness, and comfortable accommodations of the resort, have led us back to Chimney Corners time and again. We consider it our own “lake home”!”

“We just wanted to tell you that we had a wonderful weekend staying at Chimney Corners. It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. Our cottage was so charming and quiet, which made for a nice relaxing weekend. Thank you again for accommodating us last minute…we will keep you in mind for future trips up North."
Michelle T. Greenlake, Michigan
"What do you say about a place that is so much a part of your history? Beautiful, relaxing. Like many others, our family, has been visiting for years each summer And each generation follows suit. Molly, Jim, Rick, Claudia, and Jimmy became entrenched in our family each year. We’re coming back this year with our whole family, so special. My mother and dad will be missing, but they also had many memories made at CC. Looking forward to seeing you, Mary and Jimmy! And for you to see our children again, who are no longer children!"
