About this property

BEAUTIFUL Lakefront Cottage W/ Pontoon on Harper Lake- Completely Updated!

YES THE PONTOON comes with the cottage rental which is so nice! This spacious 3 bedroom 2 full bathroom cottage has been completely updated w/new paint throughout, flooring, brand new bathroom, fireplace, kitchen counter & back splash, fire pit, deck & dock and so much more! This lovely furnished cottage is on Harper Lake & comes with a 21' Tahoe pontoon with a 60 hp engine- great for fishing, anchoring & swimming or cruises around the lake! Also comes with 2 kayaks! Beautiful view of the lake from the huge screened in porch that seats 8 or the massive deck! Harper Lake is an "All Sports" lake for fishing, rowing, water skiing, ice fishing, and relaxing. It is just a mile from the Little Manistee River. Significant towns in the area include Traverse City, Manistee, and Ludington on Lake Michigan, and Cadillac, Big Rapids, and Grand Rapids inland. This is truly a cozy cottage that comes fully furnished! We have plenty of lawn chairs, rafts and floats!

About the host

Hosted by Pam Ritsema

Host profile image
We were born & raised and lived our whole life in Grand Rapids, MI. We have two sons & daughter in law & 2 grandchildren that love to fish, hunt, snowmobile and we all love hanging out at the cottage! We have always loved traveling up north for scenic drives and always wanted to have a cottage up North! Our dream came true when we purchased this cottage in 2015 and could not be any happier with the location & beauty of Harper Lake ! We look forward to making so many special memories in our new cottage!

Why they chose this property

So close to so many things- great for same day excursions!! Whether it's wine tasting & touring the beautiful surroundings of Traverse City an hour away, Manistee is 1/2 hour, Ludington and Lake Michigan in only 35-40 minutes! We purchased this cottage in 2015 as our dream has always been to have a little piece of paradise up North and we definitely found our gem! We have always loved coming up north, since there is so much to offer between fishing, relaxing, fun in the sun, wineries, hunting, so much to do! We wanted a cottage where we didn't have to climb a lot of steps from the lake to the house, this is so perfect! This cottage has one of the best views of the lake! .

What makes this property unique

The pontoon comes with the rental (except for the late fall/winter renters).The view from the large sun porch and the deck will take your breath away, whether you are enjoying your morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset Harper Lake is such a beautiful lake, and this view never gets old! The fire pit is large enough for several people, as well as the massive deck, grilling area and eating area.
