Absolutely amazing beach

This beach is completely private and absolutely stunning. The town of Manistique is… So if you just want to be “home“ and enjoy the beach, the sunset, paddle boards, and the sugary sand. This is an absolute gem of a location. The house was nicely appointed and roomy, but the real seller is the beach. So beautiful.

Amazing management

We lost power at no fault of the property just outages in the area and their 24/7 guest assistance line was super helpful! I also loved how toddler friendly the property was, not a ton of breakables or things for them to climb on. We even found a gate for the steps to put up during our stay!

Great views and quiet private resort

The lake pictures don’t do it justice. So quiet. Almost 180° view of Lake Michigan. The Sandy Beach and the surf were identical to Florida seashore except it was clean water with no sharks. Highly recommend and the house was stocked with anything you could possibly need. Stayed for 5 days at the end of July.

Brain, your review made me laugh out loud with your sentence "The Sandy Beach and the surf were identical to Florida seashore except it was clean water with no sharks." That truly is the joy of the big lakes! We appreciate your recommendation, and hope that you come back again. - Claire, FVR

The perfect spot for our Lake Michigan adventure!

This was the perfect spot for our family gathering! The house was SPOTLESS and clean. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and more! The beds were so comfy and there was room to spare! We loved the two living areas (one on each floor) with large TVs for movie night! The kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals on site! The gas grill in the deck was clean and very nice. The walkway to the beach was a great addition! Beach was easy to access. A nice seating area on top of the dune as well as a nice fire pit area down by the beach. Our family used it all! This was the perfect spot for us. Lots of things to do nearby, but no need to leave the property! There was so much to enjoy. We will stay again! Our teenagers said it was the perfect lake home and want to go back! Thanks!

Michibay did not disappoint! This house is spacious for 2 families! The kitchen is roomy and well stocked. The beds were all comfy and lots of towels and extra blankets! Full disclosure, the screens need to be redone to keep bugs out. Without air, you will want every window and door open! The beach was PHENOMAL! We loved all the outdoor options and space. Everyone used the Kayaks and Paddle Boards and swam. A nice fire by the water was also so relaxing. By day 2 the kids asked if we were coming back next year! The only complain is that it was hot which was fully disclosed in the listing so I don't feel that is a fair complaint. But if you prefer it cooler, you may want to visit in the fall. We loved it and enjoyed every second! We cannot wait to visit again!! Also don't skip the cute little town of Manistique and the little shops. We ate at a place down town called "Wheaty's Pub" and it was amazing food and service! Another great place was "Flat Iron Pizza".
