Swimming, Snowmobiling, Serenity! Lakefront Cottage on Big Manistique Lake

It has two bedrooms that comfortably sleep 5, one bath with washer/dryer, luxury kitchen with modern appliances, and seating for 6 at the dining table. Relax in front of the 43 inch smart TV as you settle in after a long day of snowmobiling. Enjoy the westerly winds off the lake on the large deck after a day of swimming or pontooning.
