Such a great place to stay for the weekend! Beautiful views, perfect place for a mom’s weekend away. The house was immaculate and the kitchen was super well stocked with utensils, dishes, and baking and cookware.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m thrilled the house worked so well for your mom’s weekend and that the kitchen had everything you needed. You were wonderful guests.
What a perfect end of summer getaway for our family of 5! The location was perfect for exploring the area, including Pictured Rocks, Kitch-iti-kipi, and Manistique. We enjoyed our evenings on the deck watching the sunsets and making s’mores by the fire. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything that we needed. We would definitely come back!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I’m delighted to hear your family had such a great end‑of‑summer getaway. It sounds like you made the most of the location — from Pictured Rocks and Kitch‑iti‑kipi to evenings on the deck and s’mores by the fire. I’m glad the home felt comfortable and had everything you needed. We’d love to welcome you back anytime.
We are a group of friends traveling together across the UP. This home was an absolute dream. Sitting on beautiful Indian Lake with 2 beautiful sitting areas and a dock. The house has every amenity needed. Just a beautiful home in a beautiful setting. Just 10 minutes or so from downtown Manistique. We hope to return one day!

Thank you for the lovely review. We’re so glad the house and the lake made your trip special. It’s great to hear you had everything you needed and enjoyed the setting. We hope you’ll return on your next UP adventure.
The Indian Lake House was amazing. It was clean with a modern design, while still making you feel like you are up north. It was a great value for where it was located. Short trip to many state park attractions as well as close to orv trails. It also has a great view of the lake. The lake itself has a sandy bottom, so it is ideal for swimming. This was a perfect place for a family getaway. We recommend this to anyone considering staying in the Manistique area.

Thank you for the wonderful review. It means a lot to hear how much you enjoyed our home, the lake, and the area. We’d love to welcome you back anytime.
This is a beautiful home on a serene lake. Perfect for relaxing, yet still close to shopping and restaurants in downtown Manistique. Many of the UPer's stunning attractions are within 1.5 hours (Pictured Rocks, Tahquamenon Falls, Kitch-iti-kipi, Oswald's Bear Ranch) making it a great location. I definitely plan to return!

Thank you so much for your kind words — we’re thrilled you enjoyed the lake and the UP. We’d love to welcome you back anytime.
What a fantastic place to stay right on Indian Lake! We used this lake house as a home base for all our U.P. sightseeing. It's only minutes from Kitch-iti-kipi, and an easy drive to Pictured Rocks, Tahquamenon Falls, Seney, Grand Marais, as well as several beaches. It's just a few miles from downtown Manistique, and super easy to hop on U.S. 2. The views from the deck and fire pit are spectacular! We had the privilege of watching the Perseids meteor shower with a clear view of the dark sky, and the sunsets were amazing every evening. The home is a new build, so everything is clean and new and so beautifully decorated. We had every amenity, appliance, and item we could ever need, and Kerri generously supplied coffee, yummy snacks, s'mores, toiletries, firewood, and even bathrobes for our use. The bedroom layouts were perfect, and the neighborhood was very quiet. I honestly can't think of a single negative thing to say about our stay. We just loved it, and would most definitely come back again. Thanks, Kerri! (If you're planning on booking a stay here, be sure to check out Treasure City on U.S. 2 and Christopher's Antiques in downtown Manistique. Both were so fun to browse! The Grind coffee house is also downtown, and a wonderful place to grab a mid-day coffee and treat.)

Wonderful place to stay, with a beautiful view and not far from town. The house was very well stocked and even had little extra amenities here and there that we really appreciated.
