The canal offers full boating access to Lake Mitchell, and our 240 feet of canal frontage makes for some of the best land fishing Lake Mitchell has to offer! There are 6 kayaks and 2 stand up paddle boards included with you booking.
The chalet style cottage has 3 bedrooms with queen pillow top mattresses in each for the best night sleep. The master bedroom offers a great patio space to enjoy the breeze and beautiful views of the lake while taking in a good book or just relaxing and watching the sun set. There are two full baths with a custom stand up shower upstairs and a full bathtub on the main floor.
This cottage has air-conditioning units both upstairs and down that really help cool the space during the hot summer days. Enjoy your morning coffer from the large deck that overlooks the canal and the beautiful tree lined property.
Our cottage sits on three large lots with plenty of shade from the large oak trees. There is plenty of room for yard games and a great fire pit to enjoy during your stay. Also has a Large outdoor gas grill for all your cooking needs. The extra space and large driveway is great for parking your vehicles and a boat trailer. The cottage is well equipped with 55” Smart TV in the living room and a 40” Smart TV in the master bedroom.

You can also access Lake Mitchell from the neighborhood beach that is a short walk from the cottage front door. Another great feature just out the front door is direct access to the Manistee National Forest with miles of trails for hiking and Mt. Biking adventures.

Enjoyed the great location and house. Has an amazing lot on the canal with Kayaks and fishing. Nice bedrooms, comfortable beds, recently renovated bathrooms. Enjoyed use of the grill, outdoor seating and fire pit. Took several nice hikes in Manistee Forest and found a couple nice spots to eat. Bob has a great host and easy to communicate with.
Stayed here with family for a wedding nearby. Had plenty of beds and space for extended family to sit and visit. Nice quiet neighborhood. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Overall a pleasant trip.
The house was wonderful! Peaceful quiet neighborhood, access to kayaks and paddle boards, we rented the boat also and it was fantastic. The grounds were large the kids had lots of room for outdoor games and running around, fishing was amazing. My son in law caught his first fish ever! We absolutely loved this house.
First our regulars: Coffee- drip w filter and single cup. Internet- great! Space for separation between subs and spouses - SO much space. Everybody wanted to hide in the loft room. Pets
Spiders and Bees, Spiders and Bees, lots of spiders everywhere. Couldn't say how many spiders we killed. Bob was great to work with. Inside was nice and very comfortable. Beds were super comfy. The outside of the house could use a good power washing.
Location of this cabin is nice and quiet! It’s a nice neighborhood and area of the lake was convenient. The extra space above the garage was nice for the preteens. Beds were overall comfy and bathrooms were nicely updated! It is a cabin so keep that in mind, as this is not a brand new, sparkling clean place. A nice power wash and deep clean would be nice but it didn’t affect our stay! The boat was a nice addition and we did use it to take a little ride around the lake.

Cabin on Lake Mitchell canel.
The inside of the cabin was nice. The outside of the cabin was a little dingy. It needed some cleaning and repair. We rented a pontoon boat from the owner one day during our stay, but the key to it was hidden and the owner could not be reached until the early afternoon and so we lost half of the days use of it. The grounds of the place were good and the parking was adequate.
Stay was very nice and plenty of room. Dining room had plenty of room and the fireplace was great!Would like to see new Livingroom furniture.This would be a wonderful summer stay!
My friends and I had an excellent time at this property. Bob has plenty of things to keep guests busy. Everything was as great as advertised, would highly recommend if looking for a quiet weekend getaway with friends and family!
Accommodations were comfortable for our family of 7. The teenagers enjoyed their own private sleeping area. We had everything we needed to make our trip complete.
We had a great time, plenty of room for our big family of 8. Great location, loved using the yard games and kayaks (the game room was fun too) The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed for cooking each day - having the grill available was nice too.We brought our own pontoon boat, so the dock to tie up was perfect, plenty of parking and fun at the campfire each night.The house desperately needs a good clean - power washing the outside and cleaning off the deck furniture, sweeping the deck and cobwebs, washing the windows, fixing the slider door would go a long way. Thank you for the great stay!

Great family-friendly cottage.
We had a wonderful time during our summer vacation. The cottage was very comfortable, with plenty of space for everyone. We took advantage of everything the cottage had to offer- kayaks, SUPs, the pontoon, the fire pit, ping-pong, games, etc. The canal was nice and quiet and Lake Mitchell was shallow and calm- both great features when vacationing with young children.
