Big Twin Lodge-Spacious, Lake Life, Off-Roading, Snowmobiling, Wooded Seclusion!

Mancelona, Michigan, United States

Enjoy the best of two worlds: the excitement and fun of lake and trail life, and the tranquility and privacy of forest living!brbrThis spacious, comfortable home was built in 1973, and is situated on 6 acres of private forest in Mancelona, MI, overlooking Lake Louie, known locally as Louie's Pond. And just across the street, guests enjoy a private slice of beach and use of a dock (rarely shared with owner when they're around) on the popular Big Twin Lake. So you can enjoy some nature and solitude, and participate in the excitement of lake life all in the same vacation. Just about a mile up the road, there is access to popular ORV trails, making us a perfect location for those who like to ride trails or snowmobile. Our newly widened circular drive will accommodate your trailers, and the garage is perfect for parking and servicing your ORVs. brbrThe home itself is perfect for nature lovers who enjoy a quiet, serene setting. Window walls on all sides allow you to feel like you're outside, while enjoying the comfort of the indoors. Enjoy 3000 sq. ft. of carpeted living space plus an additional 700 sq. ft. of enclosed porches/sun rooms, all overlooking peaceful Louie's Pond, gorgeous year round. brbrThe home has TWO master bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The upper master has a brand new king bed, and a wall of windows overlooking Lake Louie. It has a private heated sunroom where, year round, you can enjoy a quiet morning with a cup of coffee and remarkable views of the lake and surrounding forest. brbrThe spacious lower master bedroom also has a brand new king bed and private en-suite bathroom with tub/shower. brbrAlso downstairs is the third bedroom with a queen bed with memory foam mattress and power adjustable head. brbrIn warmer months, guests will fight for a space on our sleeping porch! With two twins beds, a double bed and a beautiful seating area, surrounded by glass walls, it is akin to glamping! On warmer nights, glass doors can be left open with just the screen doors in place, so guests can enjoy warm breezes and night sounds, while the woods give privacy from neighbors. NOTE: This is an UNHEATED space. There are no curtains, so privacy is limited. (See photos.). These things should be taken into consideration when planning sleeping arrangements. Don’t hesitate to ask for more details!brbrIn addition to the two en-suite bathrooms, there are two others, (full downstairs and 1/2 upstairs) for a total of 3 1/2 bathrooms. (No waiting!)brbrThe hub of the home is the kitchen, and this one has it all! A large island and lots of counter space, full-size refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, coffee maker, electric stove/oven, microwave, toaster and toaster oven, and any utensil or pot or pan you could need. (Yes, we have a roaster and a crock pot!) We’ve stocked the cupboards with pantry basics (salt and pepper, flour, sugar, a variety of spices, oil…) and a selection of coffee, tea and hot chocolate. And we’ve left plenty of space for your own grocery items, in the kitchen cupboards and the large nearby pantry. brbrThe home has two large dining areas, both with expandable tables, with room for everyone in your group. There is additional seating - and fabulous views - around several patio tables on the upstairs 3-season porch. brbrThe upstairs formal living room has a brand new 50 inch smart TV (bring your own login. Some free channels available. DVD/VCR player and a large library of videos available.), but we prefer watching the view out the three walls of windows! The downstairs family room is equipped with a Roku enabled TV and will be a perfect place for kids to hook up their video games and play on rainy days. A large coffee table is ready for board games or puzzles (of which we have a nice selection for your use). Gain access to the lower 3-season sleeping porch from this family room. Here you’ll find another lovely seating area overlooking Lake Louie, as well as two twin beds and a double bed. While these may be too cold in winter months, they will be prime sleeping spots in spring, summer and fall! brbrAlso downstairs is a large laundry room with washer and dryer (detergent provided), folding table, and plenty of storage room. brbrOur home is heated in the winter with quiet and comfortable baseboard hot water heat (in 4 separately controlled zones for personalized comfort), and cooled in the summer by shading trees, cool lake breezes, and when needed a mini-split located in the center of the living space upstairs. (No central air.)brbrOur home is well-maintained and professionally cleaned for your comfort and peace of mind. brbrIf outdoors is more your thing, we have a lovely deck, and a screened porch with porch swing. There is a firepit with rustic bench seating and plenty of firewood, an outdoor gas grill, a small fishing dock at the pond, and plenty of places to explore.brbrWhen you're ready to get out on the water, Big Twin lake is just a 2 minute walk down the driveway, where you have access to a dock and a slice of beach for sunning, swimming, or accessing your boat. (There is a public boat launch less than two miles away.) Two kayaks are also available for your use. There is a small shed here with kayak paddles, life jackets, beach toys, etc. for guest use. Feel free to leave your beach things here during your stay. The lake boasts 215 acres of clear water, a sandy bottom, and 80' depths for days of fun fishing, sailing, skiing, swimming and sunbathing. brbrSpring and fall, you may enjoy ORV'ing, and in the winter months, you may prefer snowmobiling. You're in luck as the home is located just a mile or so from ORV/snowmobile trails. You can ride your machines to the trail heads from the house. We have plenty of space for parking and trailers - the circle drive makes it easy to get in and out. brbrIf skiing is your thing, you're just 25 minutes from Shanty Creek Resorts, or 40 minutes from Boyne Mountain. Other nearby towns you may enjoy visiting: Bellaire, home of Shorts Brewery, Grayling, and Kalkaska. The hub of all things hip and trendy, and a great place to shop, eat out, or take in a movie is Traverse City, a 50-minute drive to the west. Whether you enjoy the great outdoors or prefer more “civilization” there are plenty of places to visit, sights to see, things to explore!brbrAccess to our garage is included for convenient loading/unloading in any weather. (Covered walkway between house and garage.) It's also a great place to store your ORV's.brbrOur home is suitable for up to 10 people (and limited to 10 by local ordinance).

Lakefront! Perfect Family Getaway for All Seasons

Mancelona, Michigan, United States

Looking for a Great Place to Bring your Family Look no furtherbrbrThe lake house is on the quiet south-end of Starvation Lake, near Mancelona Michigan near the some of the best ORV and Snowmobile trails in Michigan as well as 120' of the nicest lake around.brbrIt came into our possession (Mike and Ali Cipriano), following a Cipriano family gathering when, like many others, we fell in love with the lake.brbrWe love to share our property with couples and small families looking for a quiet and peaceful get-away.brbrIf you’re looking for somewhere to wind down and escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life; or a base from which to explore the all-year-round beauty of Northern Michigan, look no further.brbrNestled into woodland, with its own dock, fire pit, and decked area overlooking the lake, this recently updated house provides all the amenities for a relaxing stay.brThe house itself has two bedrooms including a beautiful galley king size bed with views over the glistening lake.brbrThe first floor provides a full bathroom; a full kitchen with all utensils; and a cozy sitting area where you can end your day seated comfortably around the gas fireplace.brbrThe basement holds the washing and drying machines.brbrThe barn has an extended lean-to, which provides outdoor space to escape from light rainfall, with a large table for family meals. The most recent addition has been the flower garden, which captures the mid to late-afternoon summer sun and is an ideal spot to enjoy some quiet time.brbrFor those who wish to relax in and on the lake, there is plenty to enjoy. The wake restrictions guarantee quiet mornings and evenings for swimming, kayaking and fishing. The lake is renowned for its fishing and some of the best Browns in the state. Starvation Lake is perfectly situated for those who wish to explore the countryside trails on snowmobiles or ATVs, enjoy cross-country skiing, ice-fishing, biking and hiking.brbrAdditional sporting activities can be enjoyed within close proximity: Manistee River for kayaking is just 20 minutes away; Shanty Creek for golf and ski enthusiasts lies 25 minutes from the lake; and it is only a 35-minute drive to Boyne Mountain ski, golf, and zip line water park.brbrAt the north end of the lake is the famous Hideaway Bar, which sells a wide range of bar food and local beverages; and the friendly Starvation Lake Store, which has an ATM, and sells gas, all the basic supplies (++), and lake merchandise. We recommend both!brbrOnly 45 minutes away from Starvation Lake lies Traverse City, Petoskey, and Charlevoix; all of which provide a range of entertainment, wineries and shopping opportunities.brbrOver the past few years we have had wonderfully relaxed, polite and courteous renters. Our home, and indeed the cove, is not a place for wild parties either on our land, in the house, or through platoon anchorage. Previous renters have understood the necessity to follow the guidelines in regard to respecting the sensitivities of our resident neighbors (being mindful of language, voice levels and music); the rules of this ‘no-wake’ lake (7.30pm-11am – speed restrictions); and the need to consider the wildlife (especially the loons that cannot take to the air quickly enough to avoid fast on-coming speed boats, and the turtles and muskrats that live in the warmer waters of the cove) – we thank them for this respect and would be happy to rent-out our place, through any season, to more guests of the same. All guidelines relating to courtesy and Blue Lake Township Rules are available through booking, and displayed both within the cabin and on the deck. We would be grateful if renters would familiarize themselves with these, prior to arrival.brbrAnd finally, for those who are curious as to where this lake house got its name:brwe have spent much of our working lives moving from one place to another, and so decided to give the lake house a name that reflected our yearning to, one-day, settle down. Our descent (Italian/ English/Irish), and our past and present lives, led us to one of Ali’s favorite bands, The Dubliners, and one of their most famous songs ‘The Irish Rover’. The song tells of a roving man who decided his days of traveling and wild shenanigans are over, and the chorus provides the name:br‘So it’s no nay never,brno nay never no more,brwill I be the wild rover,brno never no more’.brWe welcome respectful renters, and look forward to receiving further bookings at the ‘No Nay Never’.brbrOur prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
