About this property

Located on the West shore of all-sports Manuka Lake, this freshly updated and fully equipped 3-bed, 2-bath home sits on half an acre of lakefront and is ready for activities year-round. Inside you will find oversized east-facing lakeview windows that provide gorgeous sunrise views and showcase the natural beauty of the lake and its wildlife. Starlink internet and smart TVs will keep you connected if you wish.

Enjoy the outdoors on the large deck, in the yard at the fire pit, or down on the beach. Lawn chairs, picnic tables, a grill, and some recreational equipment are provided. Enjoy quick access to public land and trail systems and just a 10-minute drive to downtown Gaylord.

For winter activities, the lake freezes well and is popular for ice fishing, ice skating, and snowmobiling. There are 100s of miles of readily accessible snowmobile trails in the area, both heading into Gaylord and out towards Waters and Mancelona. Multiple ski resorts are within a 40 mile radius, offering skiing, snowshoeing, tubing, and various winter activities.

For summer activities, the house comes with a dock, paddle-board, 2 adult kayaks, (child kayaks available upon request), paddle boat, life jackets, beach towels, inflatable tubes, and three fishing poles. This is a great lake for fishing! There is a public boat launch about a quarter mile north of the house. The house is not equipped with AC, however all the rooms have ceiling fans and all the windows open, allowing for great breezes thru the house and off the water.

We offer a quick and easy check out process - no doing all the work of the cleaner!

Situated centrally on the lake, the cottage offers views and fabulous access to open water. Come explore the lake and all the activities northern Michigan has to offer, and stay for the comforts and conveniences of cottage life. Pets are welcome!

Very well stocked kitchen! Anything you can think of that may be needed. Beautiful home on a quiet lake. Wish we could've stayed longer. So peaceful and relaxing. Very well taken care of home. The reading material is quite entertaining also.
