Welcome to MANISTEE’S HEAVEN! This waterfront, ranch home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and is more than a cabin or cottage... it is a real Lake Michigan paradise! Enjoy the 3 season sunroom, great Hickory Kitchen, living room with 55" Roku tv (with cable), a Master bedroom with remodeled attached bath - plus 2 other bedrooms, one with a queen and the 3rd with a queen and twin bunks. NEW in 2024, guests will be able to enjoy a NEW expanded master shower, NEW living room furniture, NEW outdoor deck, and NEW well. Best of all, you will enjoy a brand NEW PRIVATE HOT TUB overlooking Lake Michigan! (Note: The hot tub gets shut down January & February each year.) Lastly, there's no need to be concerned about ever losing power, as a whole-house generator was installed in 2023.

While at MANISTEE’S HEAVEN, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a bonfire at your private fire pit - just steps from the house. Can you think of a better ending to a day than watching the sun set or stars appear - all while roasting marshmallows over the campfire?

With 60 steps down to the beach and resting spots along the way, this brand new staircase (installed March of 2022) is a rare Lake Michigan asset! In addition to the stairs, we have a deeded private beach that can easily be accessed by car or foot - just one driveway to the north.

Want more excitement... gear up for river trips, charter fishing, world-class golf, casino excitement, an airplane ride, or visiting the largest giant sequoia east of the Rocky Mountains (just two minutes away). With all there is to do - or not do - this will be the spot you will want to return to again and again.

In the event of winter travel, guests should drive an all-wheel or 4-wheel-drive vehicle as the driveway is steep and can be icy even after being plowed.

Additionally, the property allows up to three house-trained dogs. The cost to bring dogs along is $20/day per small dog (less than 50 lbs) or $30/day per large dog (50 lbs or more).

Here are a few reviews:

- "We visit Disney World quite often and St Pete Beach. My kids said Heaven is better. Perfection. My only regret is I didn’t book another trip for this summer before all the dates were taken."

- "This property is amazing! The views from the yard and the deck overlooking the water are stunning."

- "Absolutely amazing. The pictures from this listing do not do it justice. The home was very clean and beautiful. Everything you could need was already there. Felt like home. The property was equally amazing. Breathtaking view from almost any spot inside and out."
