Lakefront cottage with deck and firepit. Pets are welcome!

Located on the West shore of all-sports Manuka Lake, this freshly updated and fully equipped 3-bed, 2-bath home sits on half an acre of lakefront and is ready for activities year-round. Inside you will find oversized east-facing lakeview windows that provide gorgeous sunrise views and showcase the natural beauty of the lake and its wildlife. Starlink internet and smart TVs will keep you connected if you wish.

Enjoy the outdoors on the large deck, in the yard at the fire pit, or down on the beach. Lawn chairs, picnic tables, a grill, and some recreational equipment are provided. Enjoy quick access to public land and trail systems and just a 10-minute drive to downtown Gaylord.

For winter activities, the lake freezes well and is popular for ice fishing, ice skating, and snowmobiling. There are 100s of miles of readily accessible snowmobile trails in the area, both heading into Gaylord and out towards Waters and Mancelona. Multiple ski resorts are within a 40 mile radius, offering skiing, snowshoeing, tubing, and various winter activities.

For summer activities, the house comes with a dock, paddle-board, 2 adult kayaks, (child kayaks available upon request), paddle boat, life jackets, beach towels, inflatable tubes, and three fishing poles. This is a great lake for fishing! There is a public boat launch about a quarter mile north of the house. The house is equipped with AC.

We offer a quick and easy check out process - no doing all the work of the cleaner!

Situated centrally on the lake, the cottage offers views and fabulous access to open water. Come explore the lake and all the activities northern Michigan has to offer, and stay for the comforts and conveniences of cottage life. Pets are welcome!

This was just the place we needed for my husband and me to get away for a few days. It was very clean. The full moon and sunrise over the lake was beautiful! Gaylord was close and had anything we needed. The host emailed us helpful suggestions for outings based on our interests. Thanks!

Great for families
This property had it all. We stayed with our adult children and their spouses as well as 2 dogs. The house was clean and comfortable with everything needed for a fun weekend at the lake. We made use of the kayaks, paddleboat, paddle board, and small rowboat. The lake was clean and sandy. We loved the fire pit for night time relaxation. Location was good. First floor bedroom a plus. We visited Hartwick pines state park and drove to Bellaire to go to Short's brewery. We had a minor problem that the owner took care of very quickly. Communication with owner was excellent. We will definitely love to stay again.

Wonderful lakeside cottage!
My family had a wonderful stay at this cottage. We had all the space we needed and the added amenities like the kayak, paddle board, and paddle boat were greatly appreciated and used a lot. My nephews caught their first fishes ever and now are obsessed so I consider that a win. We truly enjoyed our time at the lake and would come back anytime and stay here again. Highly recommended!

4th of July Vacation
We celebrated the 4th of July at Lake Manuka. The cottage was the perfect setup for our family! We enjoyed the paddle boat and paddle board! We took our fishing boat along and caught some bass and pike. We loved the all the fireworks shot off by neighboring cottages. At night the lake is very quiet and peaceful. Thanks for sharing your cottage with us!

Nice place to relax
The place was nice to stay in. The house was clean and nicely located on the lake, it had all the amenities that we needed for our stay. The water front was on the lake was nice size for us and our two dogs. We stay during the weekday so the lake was quiet which was nice. We enjoyed the paddle boat and kayaks.

My stay
Upon arrival there was no heat and some lights not working, my husand had to switch the breaker. Everytime we turned up the heat it went back down on us, we could not turn on the fire place we tried multiple times. It was very cold for us with having two children 2 and under. The downstairs bed was already broken when we got there, the mattress is dipping on one side. There was only one roll of toliet paper that was provided when there were 5 adults. Also, we got 4-5 inches of snow during our stay and there was no shovel for us to use. The place is absolutely beautiful but we were disappointed during our vacation.
