About this property
Directly on South Manistique Lake in Curtis, with panoramic water views from every room and a private beach. Fall turns the far shoreline gold and the lake reflects all of it. Walleye and perch fishing picks back up in cooler water, and Seney National Wildlife Refuge is 20 minutes away when the sandhill cranes stage for migration. Two master suites with private en-suites, a third bedroom, and a loft. 3 bedrooms, sleeps 8. Sled and UTV trails run from the property.
The space
Directly on South Manistique Lake in Curtis, with panoramic water views from every room, a private beach, and groomed snowmobile and UTV trails running right from the property. Two master suites with private en-suite bathrooms, a third bedroom, and a loft. 3 bedrooms, sleeps 8.
Fall on South Manistique is quiet in the best way. The hardwoods across the water turn late September through mid-October and the lake gives you the whole thing twice — once on the far shore and once on the surface. Cooler water turns the walleye and perch bite back on. The boats are gone. Mornings are glass.
Seney National Wildlife Refuge is 20 minutes away and October is the month to go: sandhill cranes stage there by the thousands before migration, and the wildlife drive is the easiest place in Michigan to see them. Tahquamenon Falls is a straightforward day trip, amber water framed in gold. And the firepit at the water's edge is where the day ends, in a sweatshirt, with the loons still working the far side of the lake.
3 bedrooms, sleeps 8. Built for groups who want the full Upper Peninsula experience in every season.
