3BR/1.5BA Stone House near Indian Lake - Close to Indian Lake State Park and Big Springs. Take ORV trails to Big Spring or Manistique. Walk the 30 acres of trails on-property. See deer along the way!
This vintage stone house was built as part of a '40s lake resort cabin. This home is not on the water but is surrounded by 30 acres of private woods to explore. The driveway at the front of the property connects only one other house to County Road 455, so you will feel like you have the woods to yourselves!
Three bedrooms - 2 with queen beds, 1 with double bed - are all spacious and comfortable. 1 full bath is upstairs and 1 half bath is downstairs, for a total of 1 - 1/2 baths.
This home has a 40s vintage resort look and feel, with many of the original fixtures, just a few updates. Many homey touches throughout. Lots of table space and room to relax. If you're picky about modern updates, this is NOT your place, but if you are open to an authentic U.P. cottage experience, you will love The Stone House.
Cell service can be spotty. We recommend that you print out your directions ahead of traveling so you don't run into any trouble getting to the Stone House.
This property does NOT have internet or cable. We provide a TV with DVD/VCR and some classic and kids' movies.
This property does NOT have air conditioning. We provide fans for each bedroom and the living room to keep the air circulating. Much of the U.P. summer is cool to comfortable, with only occasional heat.
This old house is NOT suitable for those with allergies or sensitivity to fragrance. Please note that we use Downy and Bounce so our sheets and towels are soft and smell amazing!
Nearby swimming at Indian Lake State Park and Rogers Park on US-2. Also Fayette State Park has a fabulous beach, and you can swim at Garden Corners across from Tylene's Restaurant.
