UP LIVING on Big Manistique Lake at its finest

You will find a beautiful log home with 200 feet of gorgeous lakefront with access to Big Manistique Lake in Curtis, Michigan. For the fall 2024 we’ve added HighSpeed Internet for zoom calls and live streaming. The home offers a large living/dining area, full kitchen, 3 bedrooms, loft, 2 full bathrooms, and mudroom with laundry. With nearly two acres, this home offers unusual privacy. There is a newly built 30' by 32' separate garage. It's ideal for housing a camper, boat/jet ski, snowmobiles and other vacationing equipment. The loft in the garage has foosball table, ping pong table, TV and DVD player for rainy day entertainment.

Big Manistique Lake is the largest of three lakes in a chain. It's an all-sports lake that provides over 10,000 acres for fishing and boating/jet skiing. There is convenient public access on all three lakes. There are dozens of other smaller lake and rivers to be explored. Many offer public access.

We are 1.5 miles north of Curtis; it’s a perfect central UP location. The trail head is near by and a perfect launching pad for exploring Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Tahquamenon Falls, Kitch-iti-kipi, Lake Michigan, Lake Superior and Sault Ste. Marie Locks.

UP LIVING offers four amazing seasons. Autumn is highlighted by color tours, hunting and Great Lakes fishing. Winter offers heavy snow and a super well maintained snowmobile trail system. You can easily ride from the cabin to the trail heads at Seney, Curtis or Newberry. Spring fishing on Big Manistique Lake is known for small mouth bass and walleye. Perch fishing is super year round. Northern pike and other species are readily caught. Summer brings a plethora of action! Plenty to keep you busy for days! Growing up in the Manistique Lakes community, we'd be happy to help you plan your summer adventure.

UP Living-great property!
We loved the cabin. It was super clean. Great location too. We took day trips all over the UP and it was a good central location to come back to each evening. The wood stove inside was wonderful for curling up with a book and snuggling in a blanket.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay. The location was perfect for us. Beverly was very responsive whenever I had a question. The house had everything we needed and was comfortable. The detached garage was very convenient for our ORV to be stored in when we were not riding. The views over the lake from the back porch were amazing. I have already shared the listing link with many friends and family who asked for it.

Such a wonderful house and location. We enjoyed playing ping pong and using other games available. It was nice to have the spacious nicely furnished kitchen to use. This was our second time using this listing for a vacation. It was just as enjoyable as the first time.

Lakefront Get-Away
My husband and I enjoyed four days at this lovely lakefront cabin. The property is well outfitted and comfortable for a couple or a larger family or group of friends. It is also well situated for heading out for day trips to explore many of the recreational and scenic locations in the region. Beginning each day with coffee on the porch and relaxing with cocktails while watching the sunset was extra special too.

Perfect getaway
This property was NO disappointment! We came to visit our daughter who recently moved to Germfask. I would recommend this property with no reservations. It was clean and designed to accommodate 2 small families comfortably. We were able to visit several popular areas in the UP from this location also.

UP LIVING At Its Best!
This was our—Grandma and Grandpa—first experience with using rentals and this set a high bar for future rentals. The cabin was adorable and so clean. We went with our son, his wife and granddaughters. It was my daughter-in-law who found the property. They are experienced rental users. We all enjoyed our stay. We used the lake, had bonfires a few evenings, saw hawks, blue jays, hummingbirds and deer. We traveled to many landmark attractions but came “home” to a comfortable bed and wonderful bathrooms, thanks to our host Beverly.

The perfect place!
We came to Curtis for a celebration of my Dad’s life and stayed here with my family. We loved being right on the gorgeous Lake Manistique to swim, float and paddle board. The white birch cabin is so inviting and lovely. *Of note, 2 of the beautiful beds are quite high. I am 5’3” and had to jump up with a running start. The hosts are generous, flexible and helpful. Every night we sat by the fire under the stars and were even treated to the aurora borealis. Thank you for creating the perfect place for my family!

The property is more amazing in person then the photos show. Beverly was great at communicating. The house was quiet and peaceful. We had plenty of room to spread out. The only problem we had was finding the place. We found Chamberlin Inn and the house was right down the road from there. That info may be in the directions and I probably missed it. Our stay was great. It was a great location to stay in. We went to Mackinaw 2 days and Grand Marias and Munising. It was prefect for that. We had wanted to get a place that was within an easy driving distance and this was perfect. I would definitely stay again.

Fantastic spot!
We loved our time here. The first day we got there we had a fabulous surprise, an unobstructed view of a beautiful sunset. The kids loved the lake. It was shallow enough for the little ones to explore. There was enough property to keep us secluded allowing us to feel more with nature. Even got a daily visit from the local deer. The cabin was awesome! Very clean. Plenty of bath towels. There was enough room for two family's to enjoy the area inside the cabin and out. Large garage allows for more hanging out areas to give more space. Only con... wish we could have stayed longer! Maybe next year :) Thank you for the opportunity of staying at your place!

Excellent property in central UP!!
My family and I were very pleased with the property. The house is well maintained, exceptionally clean and spacious. The garage with ping pong, foosball and corn hole was a big hit with my teenagers. The property owner was very responsive. And the listing matched the property perfectly. We had a great time and loved being so close to so many attractions in the UP. I would highly recommend the property to anyone looking for a get away on a beautiful lake. We even rented a pontoon from the Fish & Hunt shop in Curtis. It was great to spend the day on the water and see just how big Manistique Lake is.
