About the Home: There are two bedrooms located upstairs connected by a bathroom with a large tub (no shower upstairs). The bedroom on the main floor has a connected washer and dryer with a sliding door and is located directly across from the full bathroom with a small shower. Each bedroom has a queen size bed, desk/and or table and chair and mirror. There’s also a futon in the living room. Note, the kitchen table is tiny, but most guests utilize the table on the patio.
The master bedroom upstairs has a small walkout balcony facing the water where you can see many birds and at times hear the sandhill cranes flying by or spot the local beaver swimming.
High speed wi-fi internet is available, as well as a Smart TV located in the living room. A gas fired grill is also available for use in the summer months and if you have water toys, bring them as you have access to your own private pier.

We wanted to stay with our girls and granddaughters all together while in town for a memorial to my mother. Host communications were positive and excellent. Although the weather did not really cooperate, it was so peaceful by the lake and we loved the outside patio/dock. Photos were accurate. Two baths, but only one shower. Nice and clean, great retreat.

About the host
Hosted by Ang Barnard
We are avid travelers with a love for nature and lakeside living. We wanted to open up our home in hopes of offering fun memories to others on Lake Manitou.
Why they chose this property
We love how serene and peaceful our space is while still being at the center of everything Lake Manitou has to offer.
What makes this property unique
We're on the Lake in a low traffic area off the main road with convenient parking space and access. We also have a private .6 acres available for our guests to safely use (walk around, have a bonfire, or for the kids to play) right across the street.
