Lake Missaukee with Dock, Hoist, Sandy Beach and Fabulous Sunsets - 2 Bath

The property sleeps 6–8 with a queen bed in each of 3 bedrooms, a futon, 2 recliners and a comfortable couch for extra bodies in the great room. One bathroom is a full bath and the other is a ¾ bath. All bed and bath linens are provided. Laundry area is equipped with washer and dryer. Combined kitchen and great room features picture windows facing Lake Missaukee with dining table and chairs. The kitchen is fully appointed with refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, double sink with disposer, cooking utensils, dishes and flatware. Toddler booster seat for dining as well as a Pack'n'Play portacrib are available upon request. Separate living room contains leather couch and chairs and also sports a gorgeous lake view. Wi-Fi/Internet, TV/cable and stereos are provided. Weber charcoal and propane grills are provided. Lakeside brick patio adjoining the front door has a table and umbrella to appreciate the steps-away lake beauty. We have a beach fire pit with provided firewood, beach chairs and 2 bins of sand toys.

Enjoy the 110'-long modern dock with a 20' boat hoist for safe docking of your boat. In addition there are two ocean kayaks. Fishing licenses are available for purchase in town. Pontoon boats are not allowed.

The back yard gardens are lovely with grass lawn and hammock for a quiet retreat. 3-vehicle parking is provided on the private driveway.

Downtown Lake City is accessible three ways: walking along M-55 (15 minutes), driving (2 minutes), walking along the beach (20 minutes) or boating in and mooring at the permanent public dock area, moments away from restaurants, bars and "the biggest cone in the North" at the ever-popular Tasty Treat ice creamery. Downtown Lake City includes the Missaukee County Library and public tennis courts. The lakeside Missaukee County Park includes paved boat ramp (nominal fee), playground equipment and pavilion. Lake City has an excellent fresh fruit and vegetable market, beverage and bait stores, gas stations, and other shops. It’s 5 minutes to the Missaukee Golf Club, a popular and challenging 18-hole public golf course. The city of Cadillac is a 15-minute drive, Traverse City is a 50-minute drive, and St. Ignace is 2 ¼ hours away, where you can jump on a fast or slow ferry to Mackinac Island.

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is on the shore of Lake Missaukee and has a private beach. The beach and lake bottom are clean sand, not muddy or mucky. Looking out from inside the cottage you feel as though you are right on the water. Being on the east side of the lake provides you with unobstructed sunsets from straight across. The cottage has a 110' private dock - perfect for swimming off, having morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Your 20' boat will be safe and secure in the electrically operated boat hoist accessed from the dock. The backyard is private where you can grill on either of the gas or charcoal grills.
