About this property

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.

We loved our stay at this cabin. The home was super clean, with everything you might need for your stay. We visited Grand Marias and Tehquamenon Falls - and never had to worry if we wouldn’t have something when we got home. We cooked at home a few times and ate out at some wonderful restaurants.The lake is so peaceful and quiet and the home is very spacious for its size. Beds were comfortable and it was nice to have 3 bedrooms . We’d love to stay again, my son loves to fish and looks like he would have loved it here. It was very central to many attractions in the U.P.

We loved it! Our 3 year old granddaughter was obsessed with the little beach area. It was nice that it was groomed, clean and sandy. There was nothing that wasn’t carefully thought of by the host. The home is spotless! We brought items we won’t need to pack next time because they had everything. Access to the dock to park our boat is a big perk. Our kids enjoyed the kayaks too. We’re already planning next years family vacation and returning here.

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!

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.

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.

We've stayed at alot of VRBO 's in the past 10 years. This was BY FAR the nicest, best equipped rental we have EVER had!! First of all ,this was the first time we've had a KING bed!! Not just a king, but the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in, including our own!! The queen bed was great for my son and daughter inlaw too, as was the single that my adult daughter had.The kitchen was fully equipped, cake tins, muffin pans, baking sheets, pots , pans, nice plates enough silverware for a party, etc... AND every drawer, every cabinet, every closet, told us exactly where to look for what we needed!!The house was emmaculate when we arrived. TV was great, internet connection fast, the dock, the shed with the kayaks and paddleboards. Plenty of outdoor seating....I could go on further...EXCEPT FOR ONE THING...We only got to stay a week, and that made us sad...Thank you for the best stay ever, and as I said when we left. We'll be back!

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.
