This cottage offers 2,400 sqft spread over 3 floors including a rare lakefront walkout on Manistee Lake. We are positioned on the south side of the lake to take in the breathtaking sunrise and sunsets.

The elevated deck AND patio area are very unique for Manistee Lake or most Northern MI cottage lake homes. Plenty of area for multiple family members to relax in chaise lounge chairs or Adirondack chairs in the sand pit or swivel chairs, outdoor couch and 4 person high top on the upperdeck level.

There are 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The upstairs bedroom features a queen and twin bed. The main floor bedroom has a queen bed. The walkout features a queen bedroom and a loft area with a full bed and twin bunkbeds.

The cottage is conveniently located 12 minutes northeast of Kalkaska and within a few miles of snowmobile, side by side and ATV trails while providing all sports lake access. There is a boat launch a few hundred yards away at the state park yet cottage is located on a very private dead end street.

The lake has a sandy bottom and very clear to the last dock section. There are several different species of fish (we have yanked 18 pikes out) and depths range from 12 to 18 feet deep yet plenty deep for renters to bring in their own or rented boat for tubing, fishing or simple boat trolling cruises (there are eagle nests on the northern edge of the lake). Manistee Lake offers picturesque sunsets that cannot be missed especially from a boat view.

    The home was beautiful and very well stocked with all the essentials. The outdoor seating was extremely comfortable which we spent most evenings and mornings taking in the beautiful view. We highly recommend shore shack!

    This house and property was perfect. It has a great location and was the perfect place to unwind for a week. We had three families staying and there was plenty of room for everyone to be be together or have their personal space. The outdoor area is beautiful and offers a variety of places to relax through the day. We can’t wait to come back.

    We found this house kind of late for booking a holiday week, but it turned out to be perfect for our group. Lovely decor and accommodations, a clear and beautiful lake (with loons!!), nice neighbors, and an upper deck that was perfect for night sky viewing after playing in the lake all day. Thanks for a great family getaway!

    We came up to the property with the family for a week. We had a great time. The house had everything we needed. Very clean and spacious. Loved being directly on the lake. Beautiful views. Clear directions from hosts. We have little ones and they had a great time as well. We would recommend this rental to others and definitely be back. It was also a plus to rent the boat from the neighbor down the lake.

    This house is great for family. The hosts are great and thoughtful. They have recommendations for things to do and supply things at the house to keep all ages busy. The kids loved swimming both at the house and at the little beach that is a short walk away that also includes a playground. House is clean and updated with plenty of space. We have family in the area and we use to have a family cabin on Manistee Lake so it’s meaningful that we can find a place to come back to with my kids. Thanks for sharing your house with us.

    We generally head south to Alabama and Florida beaches for vacation, but after staying here and experiencing Northern Michigan, we are forever changes. We had an AMAZING time in and could not have asked for a better place to stay. Todd and Debbie’s place was perfect and they thought of everything. If we needed something they had it. The kayaks and paddle boards got us out on the water for some fun and their lovely neighbors were so great to talk to for the week. We will 100% be back.

    We enjoyed our stay! Views were wonderful. Nice quiet lake. We loved having evening bonfires on the little sandy beach area.

    The house is set up for a larger group then other rentals we looked at. Nicely equipped with most anything you will need. The owners were very accommodating.

    Best place we’ve stayed at in the the five years of vacationing in Michigan. Home away from home…
