Lakefront stay on Manistique Lake
The house was just the right size for us and our pets. Plenty of property to exercise the dogs. The interior and furniture were up to date & the master bed was comfortable. The washer & dryer was a great bonus. The place could have a little more space for personal belongings & a pantry for dry food but overall everything was well stocked (dishes, pots, pans, utensils) and everything was in excellent condition & working order. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
