About this property
Swimming, Snowmobiling, Serenity! Lakefront Cottage on Big Manistique Lake
Welcome to the Bluffs at Helmer Bay. Sitting on nearly 300 feet of lake frontage and a one acre yard, this completely renovated 1903 log cabin brings you back in time. It has two bedrooms that comfortably sleep 5, one bath with washer/dryer, luxury kitchen with modern appliances, and seating for 6 at the dining table. Relax in front of the 43 inch smart TV as you settle in after a long day of snowmobiling. Enjoy the westerly winds off the lake on the large deck after a day of swimming or pontooning. With direct access to big Manistique lake, a 10,000 acre freshwater sanctuary, you will certainly find serenity during your stay.

About the host
Hosted by Derek Chamberlain
We are Derek and Katie. Derek grew up right here on Big Lake, while Katie has southern roots. We have 4 children. Derek is in the Navy and Katie is an OBGYN. We love our time on the lake in the summer and hope you enjoy our cottage, too.
What makes this property unique
With our remodel we tried our best to retain features of the original log cabin, while still improving comfort with modern touches. We are still actively planning additional upgrades, including new exterior color, a bathroom remodel, and a mudroom.
