About this property

Nestled in the Manistee National Forest, this lake house has a lot to offer. Located on a 180 acre all sport lake, with sunset views from 2 awesome decks, featuring an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, dining and sunning area, with a corn hole court all overlooking the lake. There is a yard to play in and a little secret garden to sit and enjoy the view or read a good book. The house is newly remodeled top to bottom, keeping some of the original as a nod to it’s past. The lower deck provides lots of seating and lounging area from the walk out basement. The upper deck is a nice place to enjoy a cup of coffee watching the loons, or an evening sunset with a glass of wine. There are stairs to the lakeshore with a great dock and sunning deck to lounge, swim, or fish off from. There is a convenient outdoor shower located on the lower deck to rinse off after a swim. This is a great place to enjoy with family and friends, swimming, playing, fire pit, wood provided. Short drives away are Ludington, Pentwater, the Silver Lake Sand dunes with all they have to offer on Lake Michigan. There are also trails to explore all over Manistee National Forest. A little of something for everyone

Fantastic!

This is a wonderful, well-kept house! Thanks, Craig, for such a terrific stay. Loved the easy lake access/kayaks/paddle boards, and the multiple areas for deck seating and enjoying the view. All the amenities and small touches -- especially the kitchen and bathroom supplies -- were really the frosting on the cake.

The Lake House

The Personal Touch with every amenity you could ever need. My first VRBO and Craig did not disappoint. We are already planning on coming back next summer for an even longer stay. Bring your kids to this wonderful families lake house. Bring your food and you won’t need another thing. You could bring your own boat or jet ski as well. The have an ample driveway with extra room as well. Boat dock is at end of road and a place to dock it. Swimming off the boat dock is pleasant. The water was clear but diving isn’t allowed. Kayaks were the huge hit. My grandsons had never used one…. within 5 mins they were on their own….after some pointers from Cubbie they were Pros and even though their little 8 year old arms can’t go flatout…. they were surprisingly quick for short bursts. Life preservers for all sizes as well. The Bar B Q picnic area is a cookout dream. Plenty of room for your group. The atmosphere was very quiet and if your lucky like we were you will be blessed with a clear night. Campfires were a breeze because they have done all the legwork from kindling to smalls and then the bigger pieces…. so easy to let the kids get involved and pitch in. You could look for another ONE….but let me save you the trouble. Stop looking and trust the reviews before me as well. You will not be disappointed and you will planning on returning. :)) Thank you again Craig and Jackie!!!

Family Vacation

The property was great with all the amenities needed plus lots of extras provided by the owner. We were even welcomed with fresh flowers and s’more ingredients. The outdoor kitchen area was another added bonus plus the fishing from the dock was good for all. Overall a great place to stay with easy to Pentwater and Ludington.

Fun place to stay

This was a great place to stay. Beds and baths good. Upstairs and downstairs living spaces. Great fishing from dock. Kayaks and paddleboards. Scenic lake. Nice entry area to the lake. Very large decks and patio for entertaining, grilling, and relaxing. Out in the country a bit but still close enough to several towns to take care of food and beaching at the big lake. Would definitely come again.
