The Taylor Cottage: Most Breath-Taking View On The Lake

THE TAYLOR COTTAGE

Sit back and enjoy the stunning sunrise while sipping on your freshly brewed coffee while having the best view of the amazing 10,000+ acre, ALL SPORTS, and amazing fishing, Big Manistique Lake! The Cottage includes 3 Beds and 2 full futon beds so bring the whole family and some of your best friends! The start of a family tradition starts with a cozy and loving cottage in the great outdoors of the UP. With just a short drive you can experience the UP’s finest views such as Pictured Rocks, Tahquamenon Falls, and Downtown Curtis! The Taylor Cottage offers many amenities including 2 KAYAKS, outdoor patio furniture, a fire-pit, and a charcoal grill to use during the sunny days of summer! Kids will LOVE swimming in the clean and sandy water around the dock. We encourage guests to bring their boats to enjoy the lake. We hope that we can start your next FAMILY TRADITION here at The Taylor Cottage.


THE SPACE


Bedrooms -

The Taylor Cottage offers a 3 Bedroom + 1 Spare Bedroom with 2 queen beds, 1 king bed, and 2 full size mattress futons in the spare bedroom. The Masters bedroom offers a lake side view with a sliding door that opens up to the porch and an en suite bathroom and walk-in closet. The house in total has 2 full baths and 1 half bath.

Kitchen -

The Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make a complete meal for the whole family. We have coffee maker for the early morning risers that want to enjoy the sunrise. We even have a pancake griddle and a George Forman grill!

Family Room -

We hope you can sit back at the end of the night in 1 of our 6 reclining seats in our family room. We do have a handful of games, coloring books, and books stocked in our cottage for people of all ages to have some fun. We do our best to keep furniture and carpeting as clean as we can so we do respectfully ask that our guest try their best as well to keep the place as clean as possible.

Outdoors -

Relaxation is the most important at the Taylor Cottage! The sound of the waves while you sit by the shoreline hammock is a must. You can also indulge in some s'mores as you sit around the stone fire-pit. We have lots of chairs that you can use around the fire but we do ask that all chairs are to be put back to their original locations so the nexts guest can enjoy them just as much! Don't forget to bring some fishing poles because Big Manistique lake is known for their fishing (Walleye, Pike, Perch, Bass, and Muskellunge). For all the dads that want to show of their grilling skills we have a new charcoal grill ready to cook up some delicious foods.

Fantastic place!
We had a great stay and found everything exactly as advertised. The host was very responsive answering questions ahead of our stay. Well stocked kitchen, games, even kayaks. We had our family of four (two teens), my parents and my aunt and uncle and the space was exactly what we needed. Our stay was perfect and we can’t wait to come again!

Beautiful!
Amazing property! Everything we needed was available. Very friendly hosts! Only thing I would say is that around the dock is pretty rocky and full of shells, so it's probably best to have water shoes, especially for kiddos. Absolutely loved the property!

Great home away from home!
The Taylor Cottage was the perfect home base during our exploration of the UP. The house was immaculate, had plenty of spacefor the whole family, and was cozy and comfy. The outdoor space was wonderful for morning kayaking as well as evening meals by the lake. The kitchen was super well equipped for cooking all kinds of meals throughout the week. We appreciated the kayaks, having a washer & dryer, and even being able to park our car in the garage. Will was quick to respond to questions, made great suggestions for things to do and places to visit during our trip, and was super helpful and quick to find an alternative when the door keypad didn't work.
