UP LIVING on Big Manistique Lake at its finest

You will find a beautiful log home with 200 feet of gorgeous lakefront with access to Big Manistique Lake in Curtis, Michigan. For the fall 2024 we’ve added HighSpeed Internet for zoom calls and live streaming. The home offers a large living/dining area, full kitchen, 3 bedrooms, loft, 2 full bathrooms, and mudroom with laundry. With nearly two acres, this home offers unusual privacy. There is a newly built 30' by 32' separate garage. It's ideal for housing a camper, boat/jet ski, snowmobiles and other vacationing equipment. The loft in the garage has foosball table, ping pong table, TV and DVD player for rainy day entertainment.

Big Manistique Lake is the largest of three lakes in a chain. It's an all-sports lake that provides over 10,000 acres for fishing and boating/jet skiing. There is convenient public access on all three lakes. There are dozens of other smaller lake and rivers to be explored. Many offer public access.

We are 1.5 miles north of Curtis; it’s a perfect central UP location. The trail head is near by and a perfect launching pad for exploring Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Tahquamenon Falls, Kitch-iti-kipi, Lake Michigan, Lake Superior and Sault Ste. Marie Locks.

UP LIVING offers four amazing seasons. Autumn is highlighted by color tours, hunting and Great Lakes fishing. Winter offers heavy snow and a super well maintained snowmobile trail system. You can easily ride from the cabin to the trail heads at Seney, Curtis or Newberry. Spring fishing on Big Manistique Lake is known for small mouth bass and walleye. Perch fishing is super year round. Northern pike and other species are readily caught. Summer brings a plethora of action! Plenty to keep you busy for days! Growing up in the Manistique Lakes community, we'd be happy to help you plan your summer adventure.

UP Living-great property!

We loved the cabin. It was super clean. Great location too. We took day trips all over the UP and it was a good central location to come back to each evening. The wood stove inside was wonderful for curling up with a book and snuggling in a blanket.
