Beautiful home and location. The lakeview from the home is extraordinary. The owner responded quickly to any messages sent. The dock could use cleats or poles for attaching your boat.

Great cabin for North Manistique Lake

Beautiful cabin on a beautiful lake! Spacious and well-equipped kitchen (best we’ve ever had in a VRBO rental) with a large island/table that seats a lot of people. Chris was quick to respond to questions and made the whole checking-in and -out process easy. We’ll definitely stay there again.
