Hot Tubs, Saunas and Fireplaces for Interlochen, MI Homes
If you own a home between Duck Lake and Green Lake, Phillips Lifestyles can help you enjoy it more. The company provides hot tubs, saunas, swim spas, fireplaces, fireplace inserts and pellet stoves to Interlochen, Michigan and the surrounding Grand Traverse County area, and it installs and services what it sells. Phillips Lifestyles has served Northern Michigan since 1980 from two showrooms near Traverse City. Interlochen is roughly 14 miles southwest of Traverse City.
Interlochen at a Glance
Interlochen means "between the lakes," and the town sits between Duck Lake and Green Lake in Green Lake Township. It was platted around 1889 as logging and the railroad arrived. In 1928 the National High School Orchestra Camp was founded just south of town, and it grew into the Interlochen Center for the Arts.
Interlochen State Park, acquired by the state in 1917, lies between the two lakes. The combination of music, water and old pines gives the area a character unlike anywhere else in the county.
Living here means living with real seasons. Summer evenings stretch late, autumn is brief and brilliant, and winter brings months of snow. The best homes are ready for every one of them.
Homes here range from lake cottages to year-round houses on wooded acreage, and the Chums Corner showroom is only a few miles up US-31. That makes it easy to stop in, try a spa and have service close at hand.
Hot Tubs for Interlochen Homes
A hot tub gives a home in town its own private retreat, a few steps from the back door. Phillips Lifestyles carries Hot Spring, Caldera Spas, Jacuzzi, Nordic, Sundance and Marquis, which you can browse on the hot tubs page. The range runs from compact models such as the Hot Spring Jetsetter LX to the seven-person Hot Spring Grandee.
Choosing is easier with two free services. Book a test soak at a showroom, bring a suit and a towel, and compare seats and jets in the water. Then schedule a free in-home consultation. A team member measures your space, confirms the cover and lifter have room to open, reviews the delivery route and helps match cabinet and shell colors to your home. Wiring is handled by approved electrical contractors, and startup and fill are included.
For swimmers, swim spas from Endless Pools provide an adjustable current for exercise in a fraction of the space a pool needs.
Stay Warm: Fireplaces and Pellet Stoves
Older village homes often have a fireplace that is more decoration than heat, and that is easy to fix. Phillips Lifestyles carries hearth products from Heat & Glo, Quadra-Fire, Napoleon, Enviro and Mendota. Browse fireplaces and inserts and pellet stoves online, or see them burning in the showroom.
Gas fireplaces such as the Novus nXt offer convenience and a realistic flame. Pellet models such as the Quadra-Fire Santa Fe pellet stove burn compressed wood pellets and need far less tending than a wood fire. Wood stoves and inserts remain the choice for anyone with their own firewood.
Every installation is completed by Phillips Lifestyles staff. Rob Horton is the lead fireplace installer, supported by Randy Johnson, Jason Jones and Ron Magee. The blog covers the benefits of a gas fireplace if you are weighing fuel types.
Indoor and Outdoor Saunas
A sauna is a natural fit for the climate in Grand Traverse County. Phillips Lifestyles carries Finnleo and Tylo saunas, including traditional heated-stone models and infrared rooms. The Finnleo Patio Series is a popular outdoor choice. When a standard size will not do, Don Ruff and Chris Champt of the Traverse City Sauna Company build custom saunas to suit the space.
The Phillips Lifestyles Process
Phillips Lifestyles keeps the process simple. First, talk with a sales consultant in person, by phone or online. Second, for a hot tub, take a test soak and schedule a free in-home consultation; requests submitted through the website get a response within 24 hours. Third, the company delivers the product, arranges wiring through approved electrical contractors, and fills and starts the spa. Fireplace, insert and stove projects include a site visit to confirm venting and clearances, then installation by the company's own crew.
On an in-town lot, measure gates and side yards before you shop, because delivery access often decides which models are possible. Check local setback and electrical permit requirements, and consider privacy screening from neighboring windows.
Beyond Spas and Fireplaces
Phillips Lifestyles rounds out its range with billiard and game tables from Brunswick and Olhausen, premium grills and massage chairs. Spa owners will also find filters, covers and water care under hot tub accessories.
Why Homeowners Choose Phillips Lifestyles
Three things set Phillips Lifestyles apart: history, people and service. The company has operated in Northern Michigan since 1980. It is family-owned, led by Dennis and Debbie Riedel with general manager Ryan Gubbins.
It also employs the people who do the work. Sales consultants such as Tony Fifarek, Tyler Hanna, Kenny Smith and Wesley Bonesteel guide the purchase. The company's own delivery staff, fireplace installers and service technicians, managed by Jim Eddy, take it from there. You can meet them on the About Us page.
Installation, Maintenance and Repair
Good products last longer with regular care. Phillips Lifestyles provides all three with its own staff. See the services page for details.
Spa owners can enroll in the Spa Maintenance Program for scheduled visits every week, two weeks or four weeks. Technicians balance the water, clean the spa and cover, remove debris and change filters. When a spa or fireplace needs attention between visits, an online service request reaches the service team directly.
