Swimming, Snowmobiling, Serenity! Lakefront Cottage on Big Manistique Lake

Welcome to the Bluffs at Helmer Bay. Sitting on nearly 300 feet of lake frontage and a one acre yard, this completely renovated 1903 log cabin brings you back in time. It has two bedrooms that comfortably sleep 5, one bath with washer/dryer, luxury kitchen with modern appliances, and seating for 6 at the dining table. Relax in front of the 43 inch smart TV as you settle in after a long day of snowmobiling. Enjoy the westerly winds off the lake on the large deck after a day of swimming or pontooning. With direct access to big Manistique lake, a 10,000 acre freshwater sanctuary, you will certainly find serenity during your stay.
