About this cottage rental

Our 'Cozy Cottage' is the quintessential UP knotty pine cottage. Quaint and cozy and right on the east shore of Big Manistique Lake, It's the perfect place to enjoy all that Michigan's 4 seasons have to offer. Cozy Cottage is centrally located in the eastern UP so many of the favorite attractions are within an hours drive.

If you're just looking for a place to relax and enjoy the lake, Cozy Cottage has a lakefront deck with ample seating, an outdoor table for dining, and a gas BBQ. There is a fire pit just feet from the shoreline for spectacular sunset views, and there is a stone fireplace inside.

Cozy Cottage has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen that includes a coffee pot, toaster, crock pot, air fryer, griddle and Ninja blender. We have a Reverse Osmosis drinking water system so you don't need to buy bottled water. Full dinnerware is supplied. The spacious dining room seats 6. All bed linens and bath towels are provided as well as all paper products. You will need to bring your own beach towels.
We have the Highline Fiber Optics so you’ll have excellent TV viewing in the living room and both bedrooms, and great WIFI for your phones and computers.

We have a dock if you're bringing a boat and we are only 500 feet away from a public launch. Our lot is private to the road and there is space to park your trailers behind the garage. We have 3 kayaks available for guest use and we provide the lifejackets. There are 2 tubs of kiddie beach toys too!

If you're visiting in the winter, there is a lean to off the garage for your snow machines. Groomed trails are just a few miles away. Ice fishing is right outside your door and dog sledding is available near Newberry!

We love our Cozy Cottage and have vacationed here ourselves before we bought it. We hope you will love it too!

This property beat our expectation!! We have rented cottages/cabins many times and this was excellent. Pristine clean ,and cozy. Bonus for us was the “steps to the water”, and getting to the boat with ease . Well equipped kitchen and bathroom. The ambiance helped the feel of being up north! The host was so prompt with returning messages!.town is a short drive and has all the things you need for a restful stay. The only problem was having to leave!

This place is a hidden GEM!!!!! I have been vacationing in curtis for years and now that i have found this place i will not stay anywhere else! The hosts were MORE than accommodating with a special request we had. We are very thankful for their flexibility. We are looking forward to visiting again this summer!

The cottage lived up to its name, truly a cozy cottage! Everything was very clean inside and out. The lake had good fishing, easy access just 3 lots down. Would definitely come again!
