About this property

Secluded lakeside Cottage in the heart of National Forest- down UP back roads.

Classic Cottage on a unique peninsula of Thunder Lake- with a bunk house! So much to see and do: Near Munising to go see Pic. Rocks Lakeshore (28 miles) and the waterfalls but also near Manistique to visit Big Springs (aka Kitchiti-kippi) a must see and it only approx. 10 miles and Fayette State park. The Indian River is near and is a local favorite for canoeing or kayaking. Swim, fish, boat or lounge near the lake. Vacation of a lifetime. You will need several days to do everything there is to do.
