Escape the humdrum of everyday and discover a tranquil and scenic getaway on the shores of Lake Michigan. This cabin is secluded, quaint, and with private beach access, and you won't find any other property like it. Bring your boat, canoe, kayak, paddleboard, or fishing gear to make the most of your lakeside retreat. Spectacular views of the Empire Bluff, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and South Manitou Island await, especially sunsets with cotton candy-colored skies.
Upon entry, you'll be met with a bright interior and a cozy atmosphere throughout the well-appointed living area. Recent extensive renovations bring this cabin up to modern standards with a brand-new deck and hot water heater. Relax and make yourself at home by resting on the plush furniture, streaming a movie marathon on the large TV, or serving brunch on the deck while feeling the breeze. Prepare grand meals and lake picnic snacks in the full kitchen, equipped with updated appliances, ample cupboard room, and a circular dining table. Comfortable beds in spacious bedrooms ensure everyone will receive a wonderful night's rest, with two Queen-size beds up the ladder in the loft.
Please note that this property does not have A/C.
