We loved our week at Manninen’s! We spent most days at the beach, some days fishing, and every day having fun as a family. The sauna is so lovely. I can’t recommend these cabins enough! Great place for a family vacation!
The cabin was so comfortable and clean.Christine was an absolute doll! Very helpful and just an all around great lady. Would definitely stay there again.
Absolutely loved this property and will be coming back with our whole family! It was quiet, clean with very comfortable accommodations. The lakefront property is beautiful. Great communication with host and the cabin was well stocked with all of the essentials. We cannot wait to come back soon.
Great quiet setting, close to lots of beaches, trails, and Houghton. Our dog loved the large area to walk and play. Beautiful lake, would definitely come back!
This is our second stay here and just like the first time, it was excellent!
The peace & quiet cannot be emphasized enough, which is why we choose Christine's property for our vacation destination. The cabins are located on Otter Lake. A boat, kayaks, canoes are all provided for you to enjoy the lake along with all gear needed for water safety.
Amazing hundred year old rustic-style log cabin on a wonderful property. There are several shared amenities including row boats (already in the water and tied up to docks) and paddleboards, kayaks and a canoe or two. The lake is a natural wonderland- we caught several fish including bass, catfish, and crappie. We watched bald eagles soar and hunt, and swans float and fly. The hosts are very welcoming and take great care of the property, as it has been in the family for generations. The Finnish Sauna (say it SOW-nuh!) experience was very relaxing. Highly recommend if you're looking for a natural experience in the UP. Bring bug spray, pants and long sleeves- the mosquito population is dense. This is nothing specific about the property, just a fact of life in the UP.
This is a very special place for those wanting to get a feel for the beauty of the Otter River country and northern UP of Michigan. Christine is a wonderful, gracious host. A great place to stay and to use as place to explore the surrounding area.
The sauna was excellent! We used the sauna every day. The place is quiet and relaxing. The cottages are clean and enjoyable. The owner was terrific and always available. We highly recommend this place for a week/weekend getaway.
Thank you Christine for letting us enjoy the week at your cabin!
cottages are clean, relaxing and enjoyable. Very relaxing and owner was terrific and always available. I highly recommend this place for a week/weekend getaway.
Christine greeted us with a complimentary quart of raspberries from her garden, gave us a brief history of the vintage cabins, resort. Our only regrets were not spending more time at the property and on the lake. We'll certainly be back.
This cabin was PERFECT for a long weekend getaway. It had everything we were looking for, from a beautiful wooded view to a perfect lake view. It was very peaceful and quiet. We took advantage of the boats offered and went fishing. We caught 5 catfish that we later baked that night. Let me just tell you that those were the best fish I’ve ever ate. My little boy also loved the cabin and everything it had to offer. Everything is legit and as the website described but times 10. Thank you Christine for letting us enjoy the weekend holiday at your cabin!
We had a wonderful time. The cottages are so lovely, clean and had everything we needed. Christine was a wonderful hostess as well! We will definitely return!
My family and I spent a week at Mannien’s over 30 years ago. My sister and I were really excited to revisit this area. I was happy to see it was just as lovely and peaceful as I remembered! Christine and family are doing a wonderful job and I highly recommend these wonderful little cabins!
Beautiful place right in the center of the fall colors
The cabins are covered by trees we couldn't even see them on google map. Very cute, clean and cozy cabin, well equipped with all living supplies. Forest, lawn, lake, fishing, hiking, boating, or just rest on the front porch, all relaxing and comfortable. We also visited a few tour sites in a hour driving distances. Plus, the owner is very nice and helpful. This was the dream vacation. We'll reserve early and come back again next year.
we had a long weekend get away. The cabins were quaint, clean and cozy. Christine was a wonderful host. We enjoyed campfires by the lake and the relaxing sauna. The Fall colors were beautiful!
The cabin was lovely. Adorable vintage kitchen countertop with plenty of cooking supplies ( bring your own cooking oil ). The sauna was excellent! And the property was secluded, clean & quiet. We enjoyed the boats and badminton.
Very nice log cabin. Beautiful and very calm setup. We really enjoyed our stay with our 8 months son and possible go back when we are travelling around.
