Perfect hidden gem!

The moment we pulled up, we knew we found our perfect place. The home is very well maintained, smelled great, very clean and stunning views. Chris was so amazing. Any questions we had about the home or the area, he was very quick to respond - extremely kind and helpful. We can't wait to book again and bring our families this time - but we'll still have this as our annual girls' trip home away from home! Thank you so much, Chris. You went above & beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and that our trip was perfect!

Fall Getaway

We were looking for a quick getaway for a few nights before it started to get too cold. This property was perfect and provided all of the comforts of home along with a beautiful lake. This area is near many of the UP attractions so there is plenty to do or you can just hang out at the house. It was very well cared for and as described in the listing and the host was available and helpful during our stay. Would definitely return to this house.

Round Lake Gem!!!

We loved the open floor plan, it was great for families to eat and hang out. Loved the LargeTable/Bar for meals. The Kitchen is well-appointed and stocked with necessities for cooking at home. The home has a great “UP Cabin Vibe”. Absolutely loved the wall of windows facing the lake. The home is nestled on a quiet area of lake. Christmas lights in the tree are a big help when returning from evening boat ride. Star Link Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. Nice lush lawn and sandy beach area was great for resting in the sun. Nice Propane Grill for grilling. Water is delicious from tap and brought me back to childhood memories, it was the taste of home. Separate Showers and baths are nice. Glad to have towels and linens provided!!!! I would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

As a Michigan native, I have grown up around family cottages, lakes and snowmobiling. Nothing beats the time where I can say "I'm heading UP North" I am local to the property, and I'm available to support you during the duration of your stay.

Why they chose this property

I have been lodging in the UP for winter and summer vacations for the better part of 20 years. With this experience in mind, I am opening up my property for others to enjoy. The Manistique lakes system is very unique, and is predominantly a "Mom and Pop" community that thrives on summer and winter tourism. Local business owners are accommodating and helpful. Time slows down, and this lake is very peaceful place to end the day. Most of the major eastern UP attractions are a quick drive (under 1 hour) to make day trips. The 12 foot vaulted ceiling in the Great Room provides a perfect way to unwind and relax.

The Manistique lakes system offers excellent seasonal opportunities for anglers. (Several DNR launch areas on all three lakes) Make sure to watch out for the Eagles doing some fishing of their own, and enjoy the sound of the Loons in the summertime. The large kitchen island will be the gathering place for late night card/ board games just in case the weather doesn't want to cooperate.

What makes this property unique

The sun will be over the lake all day long, and the view from the Great Room is spectacular! Over 950 sq feet of open space faces the lake. The master bathroom is the only space that does not open up to a lake view. The moon rise in the summer will guide you out to the fire pit without having the need for a light. Round Lake is very unique, as it is a spring fed lake. The water is crystal clear and shimmers in the summer sun. The well on the property sits on one of the springs feeding the lake. Uncommon to most lake cottages: the well water is free of iron and only passes through the refrigerator filter to drink. You will not need to tote cases of water with you to the UP!
