Psst! Want in on a secret?

We all look for that ‘one place’ that’s perfect. Your eyes are bleary reading the descriptions. Stop now - you found it! Owner is prompt and helpful. This well-supplied cottage is roomy and comfortable. The setting idyllic. With your boat you can be up at dawn and fishing in 5 minutes. This place is a gem. Great location to visit anywhere in the UP. Beautiful views. The only thing you’ll question is availability. Grab this one before someone lucky gets it before you.

Amazing home and location

A group of us came up to do some ice fishing and our experience was incredible. Marjorie was fast to respond to all questions and answered them professionally. The house was very clean and absolutely beautiful. The view off the back deck was second to none. And the fishing was incredible with lots of Walleye, pike and perch being caught right out in front of the house. We will definitely be back.

Spring Break in the U.P.

We had a great spring break/long weekend with our boys who attend NMU. The area was so peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed dining in Curtis, Germfask, and at the house with all the essentials. We spent most of our time ice fishing on the lake. In the evening we played and learned new games. Cell service was moderate and just enough, but we did not miss the internet. A great time and family vacation.

Great House - Great Location

Just got back from ice fishing weekend w the boys. House was perfect. Updated interior, comfortable beds, couches just ok, kitchen on smaller side,perfect location(5 mins from town), and we caught lots of fish in front of house and also out from Wolfe Bay boat launch. Owners stopped by and were very friendly. Will be back for sure! If Snowmobiling trail connects to residential street this house is located on.

Snowmobile Trip

The location was perfect, which is just South Curtis, right on the lake, easy entry for either icefishing or snowmobiling. The home was well appointed with updated furniture, and a very easy layout. Will stay here many times more in the future.

Christmas getaway

We were up there for a short stay over Christmas. The cottage was very clean and cozy. It was the perfect space for my sister and I to celebrate Christmas together with our families. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils so we had everything we needed for a nice Christmas dinner. Marge was very prompt in answering any questions we had. If we rent a cottage in Curtis again, we will definitely be staying here!

Beautiful view

I stayed here in the fall and had the best time. It was hard to leave during the day because the view was spectacular, the lake is beautiful. The cottage is very clean, comfortable, and the area peaceful. It’s a great location for day trips to all the places you want to see in the U.P. It was so nice to return after a long day to the cottage and have a bonfire. Thank you for sharing your home, I’d love to stay again.

Perfect location

This cottage was perfect for my family. It was the perfect location and home base for us as we traveled to several sites. We went to Oswald's Bear Ranch, Tahquamenon Falls, Mackinac Island, Pictured Rocks, and Grand Marais. All of those were within an hour drive of the cottage (except Mackinac Island which was a little over an hour). Although we were very busy, we very much enjoyed our time at the house relaxing, and hanging out on the deck, my 2 kids liked playing the big Jenga. We rented kayaks from Northland Outfitters and they delivered them to the cottage, we loved using those on the lake. The house itself is exactly as pictured. It was clean when we arrived. Lots of towels provided, blankets, and we used the fans every night in the bedrooms. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and a few dinners at the house. The beds were comfortable and showers have great water pressure...almost too good! If I had to give a suggestion, it would be to replace the couch. It's not comfortable and makes really loud noises every time someone sits or moves. But we would not hesitate to stay again at this cottage again! And thanks for being pet friendly, our pup LOVED being in the lake and greeting the ducks every morning. :)

A bit tricky to find but a lovely cabin for our few days in UP. Grand daughters loved seeing Tahquamenon Falls. We did s'mores over the fire pit and girls liked being in the lake.

This cottage was a lovely UP gem. Marjorie was very responsive in answering questions and check in was a breeze. Upon arriving, the cottage was spotless. The view of the lake from the back deck was beautiful. Would stay here again if we are in the area again. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!

Nice cabin on a quiet lake

The cabin is very clean and comfortable. There is no internet, but cell and tv service are good. The lake is clear and large. The dock area is very shallow, fishing was not great from the dock the week we were there. However, it would be great for swimming. Hosts are friendly and responsive. We will stay here again and rent a boat next time. Also, we did easy day trips to Pictured Rocks NP, Soo Looks, Tahquemenon Falls SP, and several lighthouses.

About the host

Hosted by Marjorie Habegger

We live in Empire, Michigan and one of our favorite vacation locations is almost anywhere in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We built a cottage in Curtis as it seemed to be centrally located and we love the area and lake. We build custom homes and cottages in the area. Steve loves to salmon and walleye fish.

Why they chose this property

This cottage was available and located a few blocks from our family cottage. We loved the area and lake spending, many wonderful weeks and weekends on S. Manistique Lake. We purchased this cottage knowing friends and family would also enjoy vacations spent here year around.

What makes this property unique

This lake is a great lake for fresh water fishing of many different species. Gorgeous views from Long Point with lake on both sides. My favorite ritual is to sit on the deck with a hot cup of coffee and listen to the wildlife wake up.
