Property Description
Located on the West shore of all-sports Manuka Lake, this freshly updated and fully equipped 3-bed, 2-bath home sits on half an acre of lakefront and is ready for activities year-round. Inside you will find oversized east-facing lakeview windows that provide gorgeous sunrise views and showcase the natural beauty of the lake and its wildlife. Starlink internet and smart TVs will keep you connected if you wish.
Enjoy the outdoors on the large deck, in the yard at the fire pit, or down on the beach. Lawn chairs, picnic tables, a grill, and some recreational equipment are provided. Enjoy quick access to public land and trail systems and just a 10-minute drive to downtown Gaylord.
For winter activities, the lake freezes well and is popular for ice fishing, ice skating, and snowmobiling. There are 100s of miles of readily accessible snowmobile trails in the area, both heading into Gaylord and out towards Waters and Mancelona. Multiple ski resorts are within a 40 mile radius, offering skiing, snowshoeing, tubing, and various winter activities.
For summer activities, the house comes with a dock, paddle-board, 2 adult kayaks, (child kayaks available upon request), paddle boat, life jackets, beach towels, inflatable tubes, and three fishing poles. This is a great lake for fishing! There is a public boat launch about a quarter mile north of the house. The house is equipped with AC.
We offer a quick and easy check out process - no doing all the work of the cleaner!
Situated centrally on the lake, the cottage offers views and fabulous access to open water. Come explore the lake and all the activities northern Michigan has to offer, and stay for the comforts and conveniences of cottage life.

Wonderful view and comfortable space to hang out for a game weekend with friends. Everything we needed was provided and check out process was very easy we didn’t really have to do anything. Would stay again.

We enjoyed staying at your cozy and quiet lakeside cottage. Hosts anticipated all basic needs and we appreciated use of the kayaks and simple check out policies. We could have used some instructions on accessing the tv, but used our own youtube account so all was well. Loved the coffee bar but would suggest a coffee pot with automatic turnoff. Overall, it was an awesome family weekend in your beautifully decorated and updated cottage!

Very relaxing and quiet lake and beds were extremely comfortable. It was very nice to have a washer and dryer also and a great location to cover all the upper cities in Michigan on day trips. Unfortunately we did not get to use all the kayaks and paddle board but I am sure in the summer months it is a great asset.

The property description was very accurate. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, utensils etc. The lake is great for kayaking and we used a couple of the kayaks provided along with our own. We enjoyed the fire pit roasting marshmallows and watched the stars come out every night. A very nice, quiet spot not far from other lakes and Gaylord.

Our group had a nice time at this home. We had a decent size group with young children. The kids loved the sand box and all the toys that were available to use. We utilized the kayaks that were provided which was nice to explore the lake. The kitchen had alot of appliances that made it easy to have dinner ready (crock pot etc).

Very nice place. It is nicely decorated and appears newly updated. The bedrooms were more spacious than I expected. We enjoyed the fire pit. The owners seemed to anticipate guests’ needs and anything we wished for was already provided.
