About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
As a Michigan native, I have grown up around family cottages, lakes and snowmobiling. I am local to the property, and I'm available to support you during the duration of your stay.

Why they chose this property

The Manistique lakes system is very unique and is predominantly a "Mom and Pop" community that thrives on summer and winter tourism. This lake is very peaceful place to end the day. Most of the major eastern UP attractions are a quick drive (30 mins to under 1 hour) to make day trips. The 12 foot vaulted ceiling in the Great Room provides a perfect way to unwind and relax.

The Manistique lakes system offers excellent seasonal opportunities for anglers. (Several DNR launch areas on all three lakes) Make sure to watch out for the Eagles doing some fishing of their own, and enjoy the sound of the Loons in the summertime. The large kitchen island will be the gathering place for late night card/ board games just in case the weather doesn't want to cooperate.

What makes this property unique

The sun will be over the lake all day long, and the view from the Great Room is spectacular! Over 950 sq feet of open space faces the lake. The master bathroom is the only space that does not open up to a lake view. The moon rise in the summer is spectacular! Round Lake is very unique, as it is a spring fed lake. The water is crystal clear and shimmers in the summer sun. The well on the property sits on one of the springs feeding the lake. Uncommon to most lake cottages: the well water is free of iron and only passes through the refrigerator filter to drink. You will not need to tote cases of water with you to the UP!
