Cozy Lakehouse right on Indian Lake - 10 minutes from Manistique

Our cozy Lake House we fondly call M'O'Nistique Retreat, is located right on the shores of Indian Lake, just a short drive west of Manistique, minutes from the incredible Kitch-iti-kipi (Big Springs), one of the most popular attractions in the area and offers amazing swimming. Enjoy one of the U.P.'s best golf courses or stay here to be in close proximity to the wonderful Indian Lake Campground, both right on Indian Lake as well!

The lake house is a quaint little home decorated to make you feel like you truly are on vacation when you are here. We've taken careful steps to make your comfort and relaxation a priority. We have all new linens and bedding, and our top-notch cleaning staff assure you of a well cleaned and sanitized home to walk into. Indian lake is a large, beautiful lake (six miles in length) and provides a breathtaking view right from the living room. Whether you spend your days touring the beautiful Upper Michigan, paddling around on the lake (2 kayaks for rent), enjoying a bonfire under the stars, lakeside- or snowmobiling/ATVing the beautiful trails right around the corner, you are surely going to enjoy this retreat for your northern vacation any time of year.

For you anglers out there, you can expect to catch the following varieties of fish: walleye, bream/bluegill, smallmouth bass, perch, rock bass, pumpkinseed sunfish, northern pike, largemouth bass and brown trout. If you enjoy hitting the trails, either on a snowmobile or ATV, we are only a short ride to trail 7 that will take you all the way north to Lake Superior, and the Munising area. As mentioned above, we are located minutes from the amazing Kitch-iti-kipi (Big Spring). It’s a 40-foot-deep all-natural fresh water spring that is 200 feet across. Ride on the self-operated observation raft across the spring and look into the crystal clear waters below… Also don't forget to visit Manistique and walk the boardwalk along Lake Michigan, or head a bit west and travel back in time to Fayette state park, a restored smelting village.

Very cute cottage. Comfortable and clean

Loved the location. Very private and quiet. The only thing wrong was we had to clean the grill before we could use it. It had to be taken apart and scraped out so much funk. Also the goose poop was bad the last night we stayed and couldnt sit outside which was a real bummer. I messaged multiple times and never heard back from owners

Not as listed

The property was relatively clean, stocked with kitchen utensils and TP. A pull-out couch was listed as a 3rd bed, but there were no sheets or bedding for it. A gas grill was listed, but there wasn't one. The listing showed outdoor chairs at the firepit, but there were none. The lawn was not mowed and was quite long, and was so full of goose poop that we didnt want to walk in the yard. Disappointing.

Fell short of the reviews

Overall the place was OK but feel it was overpriced and missing certain basic things that make renting a home worth it. Certain kitchen utensils still had stuck on egg, cookware was in poor condition, Wifi for the end of the day to watch a show was slow and had to restart Netflix a couple times, no scrub brush for the dishes (no dishwasher), no chairs outside for the firepit, a lot of goose poop in the lawn, and no soap/shampoo in the shower (not a must, but most places now provide this).The house was clean and taken care of, communication with the host was easy, just can't say it was worth the money spent and booked based off the full list of 10/10 reviews. This place isn't bad, just not what we hoped for based on the high rating and what was missing. If what you're planning is to spend the majority of the day on the lake or in the water (it was cold when we were there in late May), than you will still enjoy the location on Indian Lake.

Indian Lake Sunrises are the Best

The property is located just 10 minutes from downtown Manistique off of a private road/quiet neighborhood right on the lake. The house was clean and everything we needed in terms of linens and housewares was as expected. The house was clean, ventilation was wonderful and the yard offered fantastic views of the sunrise and moon rise (we were there for the full moon). There was cable TV and the internet WIFI was great (once you find the right network to join - the instructions gave the wrong information). The house is old but has been remodeled with newer flooring and bathroom upgrades that made staying there very pleasant.

Great Bonfire on the Lake

By far the best part about this place is the bonfire pit just 10ft from the lake. No mosquitoes in late September, wind died down around 7:00pm. Bring your own firewood, lighter fluid, and a hatchet or axe. We bought some wood locally that was cut rather odd so cutting some kindling was tough. House was small and clean. Good spot to sleep for the night. We ventured around all day everyday.

Perfect Little Getaway

This cute cottage is perfectly located near all the activities we had on our list: the beach/boardwalk lighthouse, Kitch-iti-kipi natural spring, shopping at the Mustard Seed, the ghost town in fayette, and great places to grab a bite to eat. The cottage itself is comfortable and quaint. We really enjoyed taking the kayaks out and sitting by the fire enjoying the lake view. We would definitely come back.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The house is right on the water and we enjoyed an evening sitting outside watching the cormorants. It was very conveniently located, near enough to town and very close to Kitch-iti-kippi. I definitely recommend this cabin.

Comfortable and relaxing

You never know if the furniture and beds will be comfortable. We were pleased that both were very comfortable, making our stay that much more enjoyable. Our joke during our stay though was that the floors made us feel like we were drunk walking in the middle of the night to use the restroom. They're not the most level, otherwise everything was very relaxing. We enjoyed kayaking the lake during out stay.
