About this property

Sunset Beach - Log Home on Beautiful Indian Lake

Beautiful log home on the best part of Indian Lake.
Sunsets to warm your heart! The photos are of actual views from the home.

Whether you just want to get away from it all and watch some of the most beautiful sunsets, or get out and see the UP, this is the location for you. Most of the UP is just a day trip from Manistique making this an ideal spot for your base. Take in the Soo Locks one day, then spend the next lounging on the beach and catching perch from the canoe just a short paddle from the dock. Take in the crowds of Mackinac Island one day, then spend the next hiking the trails all by yourself in the beauty that can only be found in the UP.

No matter what you want to do, you will be able to do it comfortably from Sunset Beach! Snowmobile from your front door, and return to store your sled indoors, build a fire, and tell stories while planning the next days fun!

Quiet location with almost 200 feet of frontage with your own private swimming beach!
The lake at this location has a sandy bottom that gradually deepens.
There is a weed bed within paddling distance of the dock where you can catch your perch dinner. Suggestions for fishing the lake for Walleye, perch, trout, sturgeon, muskie, or pike can be made available for renters.

July and August rentals are 7 night minimum with check in and check out on Saturday.

Beautiful property!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The sunsets on the lake were amazing and we loved using the kayaks and canoe to spend time on the lake. We also rented another house in the area and enjoyed family dinners for all of us at this location.

Great Stay

We very much enjoyed our stay on Indian Lake. The cabin is clean with all the modern amenities a family needs (ac, laundry room). Even though it is in a neighborhood, the lot is much more private than we expected. We loved that the front room looked out at the lake and there was a private beach that my kids thoroughly enjoyed.

Amazing Place to Stay

this cottage was absolutely wonderful. The cabin itself was clean, had allmthe basic needs, and having a washer and dryer made everything so much easier, especially the unpacking at home. located so that many great places to visit are with an hours ride, it also is a great base location for exploring many different things. Roger is easy to reach and will take.care of any thing that comes up, although we had no need for that. we were in the water almost every day and did not have any issues with swimmers itch. I loved this place and plan and staying here again!

Much Nicer Than Listing

Every family member that either stayed ot just visited was impressed with how nice the property, the accommodations and the amenities were. Not to mention the incredible sunsets and the beautiful environment. We all loved watching the ducklings, deer and even a wild turkey. This was more than a lakefront rental, this was a lakefront home that we had the privilege of sharing. Host was attentive, but not intrusive. WELL DONE!

Just What We Were Looking For!

The shallow lake was ideal for wading in, though got rough when it was windy. The property was well kept, beautiful and secluded due to the trees on either side. We made use of the rowboat and dock but didn't get a chance to use the kayaks or canoe. There was a hornet issue that Roger took care of right away, so no problem really. We enjoyed our stay and would return without question!
