TERRACE HOUSE
SLEEPS: 6
BEDROOMS: 3
BATHROOMS: 1
IN-TOWN: Manistique
PARKING: 3 cars MAX
GREAT CENTRAL LOCATION FOR FAMILY VACATIONS, GOLF & FISHING RETREATS in the Central Upper Peninsula

Relax on the front porch of this classic Craftsman -style home, with the ideal mix or updates and original woodwork. Soak in the small town feel, with the convenience of exploring the Central Upper Peninsula with ease!

Take a 9-block stroll south, down to Lake Michigan, or 4 blocks west to local restaurants. Enjoy the local Manistique atmosphere, stroll the peaceful boardwalk or take a quick drive to Kitch-iti-kipi- known as the Big Spring-- in Michigan's Upper Peninsula where the water is crystal clear, and can be observed from a self-operated raft.

Indian Lake State Park is just a 9 minute drive (5.4 miles) ! Launch your boat, bring your ice fishing gear or relax on the sandy beach during your stay. Indian Lake is the 4th largest inland lake in the Upper Peninsula with an area of 8.400 acres. It is 6 miles long and 3 miles wide. In our experience, the sandy beach is rarely busy, and provides great family swimming opportunities within the roped off areas (Life guards are not normally present on this quiet, sandy beach) . Drive- in with your Michigan Recreation Passport, or purchase a day pass at the gate.

Loved the old house and the woodwork. The house was clean and accommodating. The house was near the water and several other attractions, which was nice. We would definitely visit again.

Having both grown up in houses built in the 19th and early 20th centuries, my wife and I felt very comfortable in this house. The amenities were sufficient to our needs, and the view of the neighborhood satisfying. The only thing I would recommend to the owners is to provide furniture in the living room consistent with the era the house was built. A large, overstuffed couch would have been more comfortable.

We enjoyed staying there. The house was very clean, comfortable, and plenty of space. Very nice front porch. We talked to some neighbors who were very friendly and provided some additional thoughts on some great things to do in the area.

My three friends and I came from Marquette and Gladstone to spend a weekend in Manistique, shopping, eating, and catching the Halloween showing at the drive-in. The sweet little bungalow on Terrace was the perfect home base. We all live in and are crazy about old houses, and we were not disappointed! The home was clean, comfortable, and oh-so-charming!! I found myself dreaming of living there ☺️.

We loved the location in the upper peninsula as we could do day trips. Jacks Supermarket is 4 minutes away. By far, the nicest supermarket I have ever seen! ( And I've seen many). The kitchen and bathroom were modern but the rest of the house was Victorian! I loved it! It was very well maintained! Lawn needed cutting but the house was very clean!! We recommend this place to anyone!!
