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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Every aspect was absolutely perfect. Have never stayed in a VRBO that was as well supplied from kitchen items to bath. When we were about to grill steaks and noticed the grill tank might not be full enough to finish the cook Ryan had a fresh one delivered in minutes. There were even a few deer that walked thru the yard one early evening between the house and the lake.

Our small group of guys used this place for our annual fishing trip. First time in Curtis. While the fishing could have been slightly better, the accommodations could not. First of all, it was immaculately clean with very comfortable beds and furniture. Everything you could think of was provided: towels, body wash, shampoo, coffee (with both drip and K-cup options,) firewood, and all kitchen necessities in clearly labeled (very helpful) drawers and cupboards. The dock was perfect for our boat, and, barring an east wind, this spot is in a wonderful location, only a short trip from the boat launch and town. Fire pit is top notch with plenty of outdoor seating. Very private. Easy check in and check out procedures.

The rental was perfect. Wish we would have done the summer to enjoy the water more. It would be perfect for families with small children and swimming. We did fish out of the kayaks one day. Loved that it was furnished with absolutely everything you could possibly need. Loved that it was simply furnished but tastefully done.

The cottage was more than we expected. Super clean everywhere. Not a spiderweb to be seen. The layout was great for 4 adults and 3 kids. Centrally located for many UP activities. The windows that faced the lake were large. The BEST part of our experience was the peacefulness both inside watching the water and sitting outside. Highly recommend the Lakefront Cottage!

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.
