We are so happy to welcome guests to our historic log cabin on Bar Lake just steps from Lake Michigan. Built over 100 years ago and lovingly restored, the cabin offers modern comforts in a peaceful setting.Perfectly situated for year round fun including skiing at Crystal Mountain (29 miles) or Caberfae Peaks (37 miles), snowmobile trail head (8 miles) , golfing in Manistee (5 miles) or Arcadia Bluffs (17 miles) and 2 hiking trails within a mile.

The space
Our cabin is situated on a wooded double lot on scenic Bar Lake in Manistee, Michigan. The cabin was built over 100 years ago as a fishing cabin. Since then the cabin has been restored and modernized, but Bar Lake and the surrounding natural beauty has remained.

The cabin easily sleeps six in two bedrooms, and a loft. The clean and cozy wooden interior features a sitting room, dining room with a cherrywood table, and kitchen. The interior has an airy open cathedral ceiling and plenty of light from skylights.

The backyard looks over Bar Lake. The Orchard Beach State Park and Lake Bluff Audobon Society have protected the natural beauty of the opposite shore, providing wooded vistas and plenty of wildlife. Look out for the bald eagle fishing in the lake!

Guest access
The cabin has a modern kitchen with an electric stove and a microwave. Guest can use the full-size washer and dryer in the unit free of charge.

Other things to note
Bar Lake is a shallow fishing lake. This lake cannot accommodate power boats. We are a 5 min walk from Lake Michigan. The Manistee area is close to Michigan's wine country, the wonders of the Manistee National Forest, world-class fly fishing, 30 min from Crystal Mountian Ski Resort and the Big M cross-country ski course. Manistee county offers the Big Manistee River, Little Manistee River, Portage Lake, Betsey River, mountain bike trails, hiking, bird watching, and shopping. The newly restored Vogue Theater is the core of the resurging and hip downtown Manistee. Downtown Manistee is a jewel to discover with a riverwalk, boutique local shopping, wine tasting, craft beers (a brewery is opening soon), and a selection of modern and classic bars and restaurants.
