Lakefront Cottage on South Manistique Lake

Escape to South Manistique Lake in this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home located just outside of downtown Curtis. Wonderful lake view with 200 feet of frontage to enjoy.
Master bedroom has a king bed and attached bathroom. It also has great lake views and walk-in closet for storage. Bedroom 2 has another queen bed with large closet and lake view. Bedroom 3 has two twin beds with a walk-in closet and a roll-a-way bed if needed.

Open floor plan with fully stocked kitchen to fulfill all your cooking needs. Large TV in living room with Roku for guest log-in. Washer and dryer available in closet by the kitchen.

Enjoy peaceful days on the deck overlooking the lake followed by roasting marshmallows at the fire pit at night. Take a tour of the bay with the three kayaks and two paddle boards or try out the great fishing the lake offers. Bird watchers will enjoy the regular pursuits of the Kingfishers that perch in trees by the water or the regular visits from a variety of ducks, geese, Loons, and occasional Osprey and Bald Eagle sightings. Watch the woods at the front of the house for daily deer activity among other wildlife. Great location for stargazing and also near hiking and snowmobile trails.

If you are looking to explore, we recommend area attractions such as Tahquamenon Falls, Kitch-iti-kipi (Michigan’s largest spring), Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore, Seney National Wildlife Refuge, Oswald’s Bear Ranch, Garlyn Zoo Wildlife Park, or rock hounding in Grand Marais.

Beautiful and clean! Great hosts!

We had a great stay at this property. It was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved having the option of using the kayaks and row boat as well. The location is pretty centrally located and within an hour of Pictured Rocks, Tahquamenon Falls, Kitch-iti-Kipi and Oswald’s Bear Ranch. The hosts were kind and super responsive to my questions. Overall this was an amazing place to stay and we would highly recommend it to other families!

Great Getaway!

This home made our vacation so much better! We were so impressed with everything that is available in the home and how well everything was stocked! There was also more than enough room for everyone(4). We loved that this home was only 1 hour away from some great hiking spots, and Pictured Rocks and Tahquamanon Falls! The colors were amazing, it was like it was peak when we were there! Overall this was a great home and vacation. I would definitely stay here again!

Colors and reminiscing

I can't say enough about how nice this cottage was. My daughter uses vacation rentals all the time and said this was by far the nicest and was amazed at how well stocked your home was. Your hospitality is top notch. Thank you so much.

Nice stay, good central location

House was in a good location. View was beautiful. House was very clean and well stocked. We were disappointed that you could not fish from shore because it’s too shallow and we were informed that the pier would be taken down after we had already paid. You can’t launch the row boat from the shore either due to it being so shallow. So we weren’t able to use the boat either.

This place was amazing! The sunrises were stunning! The fire pit was great for relaxing after a long day of adventures. The kayaks were a added bonus. The place was super clean. The host went way above and beyond making sure all our questions and concerns were taken care of. The location was great for everywhere we wanted to go. We were so pleased with everything.
