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.

Will be back!
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.

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.
