Family Getaway

We had a great time at the house and in the water. Philip was very accessible, and the house and property were just as described. The new pizza/bakery down the road is great, we went there every morning and had pizza one night. I had not been to Kalkaska before and picked this house because of size and amenities - did not disappoint. We took advantage of the wave runner rentals and had a blast. Would definitely recommend this place to others!

A nice break at the lake

We had a very pleasant stay over a week in July. Plenty of space, very comfortable beds, and a perfectly stocked kitchen. It’s about 20 minutes to the grocery store so stock up or be ready for daily trips. Traverse City is an easy 45 minute drive and Bellaire is close by too. We made great use of the paddle board, kayak, and canoe, but decided the cost to rent to motorized crafts exceeded the benefit due to the small size of the lake.

Amazing Place to stay!

This property is absolutely amazing! The sunset views are just beautiful, the house was immaculate and it was stocked to the nines. We had also rented the pontoon for the week, which was worth the extra spend. It made for such a wonderful family vacation!! Many thanks to Phil and Stephanie!

10 Star Lake Home

These lake home owners can be designated Super Hosts right off. Home is beautiful, clean, comfortable as is the beautiful lakefront yard. The owners spared no expense in stocking the house with everything we may have needed, actually over and above with many extras. I am so thankful we stumbled across their lakefront property, I can’t imagine there are many properties of this caliber available to families looking for a short term get away. We hated to leave this beautiful location with its available pontoon boat and wave riders. Our teens were so happy to be zipping around the lake as we cruised in the pontoon boat. Thank you Phil & Steph for your thoughtful gestures in stocking the house, the quality of your linens and the overall delight to be found in your heavenly lakefront home! Highly recommended!!

About the host

Hosted by Philip

Host profile image
We are husband and wife and dreamed of owning a lakefront home one day and sharing it with others. We hope you enjoy our property as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This property is on Manistee Lake, a quiet lake known for its fishing and boating. Our property is surrounded by water with Manistee Lake in front and a small river on the side of the property. We are close to Traverse City, Bellaire, Shanty Creek/Schuss and even Boyne. Whether it's relaxation, being by the water, or skiing - this house is close to all of it.

What makes this property unique

We have a canoe, kayak, and paddle board that guests may enjoy during their stay.
