W Lake Mitchell. Priv shared frontage. Snow trail access.Caberfae Peaks,15 miles
Enjoy all that “Up North” Michigan has to offer!
W Lake Mitchell cottage. 1/2 mile to Manistee Natl Forest access w/local trails for XC ski & snowshoe. Head out your door! EZ connect to snowmobile Trail 6. No need to trailer toys. Downhill skiing or snowboarding your thing? The cottage is conveniently located between Caberfae Peaks (15 mi) & Crystal Mountain (25 mi).
Ice fisherman: bring your hard water gear here and head out on the lake via the deeded private frontage, 250 yards out your door. The cottage is in the small cove area, known for some of the best fishing on the lake. Seasonal boat dock with soft bottom, not good swimming. Distant view of the water. Great central location for hikers. Either Manistee River Trail or NCT / Fife Lake Loop are 25 min.
Restaurants, shopping, all one needs, 4-8 miles.
Driveway parking for three vehicles with additional option for a trailer.
Master bedroom has private 1/2 bath. 2nd bedroom is a cozy double and 3rd with twin bunks for the kids or those single pals.
Full bath central to all. Small cozy cottage owned and managed by same folks for years. Regular updates and good maintenance.

About the host
Hosted by Hank
We’ve owned the cottage since 1998! Enjoy what the area offers so much that when the opportunity presented itself we bought a place 1/2 mile from the cottage and moved here in June 2023. We’ll leave you alone, but if interested have a lot of info about all things Cadillac, the National Forest… so much available right from the cottage.
Why they chose this property
350 yards to Manistee National Forest foot trail access in the Brandy Brook Wildlife area. Abundant wildlife. (I spotted black bear the first Saturday in August) Great hunting or hiking.
1/4 mile to boat launch. Only 4 miles to Cadillac West for good restaurants and all the basics or 7 miles to downtown Cadillac for anything else.
14 mile drive to Caberfae, 30 miles to Crystal Mtn.
ORV-OHV -snowmobile trail 6= 2.7 rideable miles. Seasonal roads for exploring = 2.25 miles.

What makes this property unique
Cozy, but well laid out with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms at an affordable rate. Quality bedding and linens.
Makes for a comfortable environment with some privacy for couples or a family!
