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 queen 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.

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.

Perfect for family lake vacation!
This was the absolute perfect place to stay for our family. The yard was gently sloped to a sandy shore so that the kids (2, 5, 7 years old) were able to easily and safely play in the water. We could even see them playing from the kitchen and living room inside the house. The dock was awesome for bringing our boat. We had a great time fishing and boating. We could not believe how well stocked the house was. They had everything you could possibly need, and more. The downtown area nearby had some nice little shops and great ice cream. We did one day trip to Mackinaw City which was really nice, but mostly, we just hung out at the house and on the lake. We would 100 percent book this place again!

Awesome property
This was the first time out family was in the UP and this was a perfect location. We were in driving distance of everything we wanted to see. Pictured Rocks, Tahquamenon Falls, Mackinaw City were all within and hours drive. The house was well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms. Everything was very clean and the checkout instructions were very easy to follow. There were several games to chose from as well. My son's loved having kayaks available and the row boat was a fun surprise. They caught a couple fish from the kayaks. We would recommend this rental to everyone.

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!

Awesome U.P. stay!
From the moment you walk through the door you are greeted with that amazing lake view. We were able to utilize the kayaks and have some wonderful time on the shallow water beach. The house was stocked to a level that you normally see in higher priced rentals. Coffee, spices, cooking and laundry supplies were there for your use. There was even firewood for the firepit. The yard was perfectly landscaped and the pride of ownership was evident through the entire property. The host was very responsive and even set the house up for our two young children. We were able to travel to Pictured Rocks and Tahquamenon Falls with relative ease. A true 5 star short term rental with white sheets, towels and comfortable beds. It was a perfect escape from the Houston heat for our small family. Thank you.

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!

A Wonderful House for a Quiet Getaway
We stayed here in June 2023 and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. The check-in process was extremely easy and we really appreciated utilizing the electronic door lock instead of having to keep track of a door key. The property was easy to find thanks to the host’s directions (do not follow Google/Apple Maps). The new dock was a great surprise and allowed us to do some fishing and even see a bald eagle fly overhead! The lake was extremely quiet and peaceful. The house was incredibly clean and all of the appliances looked new and worked great. Overall the house was wonderful and did not seem like a rental as it was so well maintained. We absolutely would stay here again!
