Cozy home overlooking Lake Michigan

Lovely home in a quiet location overlooking Lake Michigan. Saw Bald eagles everyday and sunsets were top notch. Home was cozy with modern amenities.

Perfect base for our family vacation
August 2025
This home, with its bounty of Lake Michigan views , is a delight. A highlight was the generous porch with room for a dining set and several conversation sets too and the four of us spent lots of time there, enjoying the ever changing views of Lake Michigan. The home is pristine, and we appreciated the open floor plan and the quality of the appliances . One of our daughters was working remotely , so having the lower floor was a plus. We explored Nordhouse Dunes, the Acadia marsh boardwalk Legacy Art Trail and the charming downtown Manistee area, all within an hour's drive. The nearby Magoon Creek Nature Reserve, just a few minutes from the house has a pleasant trail and a beach perfect for sun bathing and finding the perfect rocks for skipping. We had such a nice time here and highly recommend it.
