NEW 2023: Brand New Home at Lookout Point

NEW BUILD Home with Panoramic Views on a High Bluff: Property ID # 382542 - 3 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, Sleeps 6. Sleeping Arrangements: One Level! Beds are Queen (Master) and two Fulls in the other bedrooms. Each bedroom has an en suite full bathroom.

You'll never want to leave! This is a brand new home right on the shore of Lake Michigan. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets from throughout the home, in the large back yard, and fire pit area. Experience extraordinary bird watching with eagles flying in front of you and below you. Storm Watchers will love the light shows and dramatic cloud formations that are visible for miles and miles. You’ll have a private planetarium with dark sky views of stars and the Milky Way. You'll appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and extra touches that make this a true home away from home.

** Please note that the home features incredible Lake Michigan views with gorgeous sunsets, but due to the high bluff shoreline/beach access is not available. Fantastic public beaches can be found within about 5 minutes from the home.

AMENITIES INCLUDE: On site laundry, gas fireplace, fire pit, lake views, outdoor deck, large grassy play area, private wooded area, grill, binoculars and a circle drive. Home features central air and Wifi w/ smart TVs. Cable not included.

The kitchen is fully stocked for everyday meal prep. Dishes, pots and pans, silverware, glass, etc. french press and a drip coffee maker is available for guest use. Also included: bed linens, bath towels, basic cleaning supplies and soaps (not personal soaps), and a starter set of paper products.

LOCATION: Located just 17 miles North of Manistee, 5 miles north of Portage Lake, 6 miles west of Bear Lake, and about an hour South of Traverse City, this home sits atop a bluff with fantastic Lake Michigan views and acres of privacy. Just 6 miles from the Arcadia Bluffs golf course this is the perfect place for you and your golfing partners to relax and get away. Little River Casino is 12 miles away, for even more fun for everyone. Right in the middle of the fruit and wine region of Northern Michigan, you’ll have many options to enjoy such as Arcadia, Onekama, Bear Lake and Frankfort. Maybe your best option is to just hang out on the deck, enjoy the crisp, clean fresh air, and enjoy the sunset!

Breathtaking views!
My husband and I had the pleasure of enjoying this beautiful house with a beautiful view. The house has everything you would need and boardwalk responded so quickly with any of my questions. We will definitely stay again and cannot wait to share memories with our children next time.

Very Peaceful
The location is great! It in a private area that offers relaxation and wonderful views of the lake. The stars are a must see! I was skeptical about being able to view the milky way, but we definitely did! You can get to Manistee in ~20 minutes. Close to a lot of hiking. Very nice and very well-stocked. Overall the home was clean, but we did have a couple of issues. Guest services were prompt to respond. Overall the trip was very enjoyable.

Great jiiwe with great water views
Clean, comfortable and perfect for 3 people or 3 couples with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. So quiet and certainly the best thing about the place is the expansive lawn right on Lake Michigan with great views and sunsets.

Great View
This property is beautiful and the view is as advertised - very beautiful. Pros include the view, separate bathrooms for each bedroom and the quality of appliances in the kitchen, We also felt there were a few cons - we found the bed in the primary bedroom to be uncomfortable, The shower in the primary bedroom is an odd design - one of those where there is no wall or shower door, (it is completely open) so you have to be very careful not to allow water to get outside the shower area, There were two things that needed attention when we arrived and we notified the management company - to their credit they resolved the issues quickly, The inside was very clean but the outside areas required us to do some sweeping, cleaning and considerable spiderweb removal so we could enjoy those areas better. We enjoyed our visit to the area overall.

Michigan Day Trips
Great private location! Love how the backyard extends to lookout over the lake that was private. Good working kitchen to cook our meals at home. Good location for us to do day trips out for hiking, kayaking, and biking with a drive between 0.5-1.5 hours. :) Great WiFi as the cellular reach may be limited in this location. Good working facilities including laundry. Check out Arcadia Inspiration, Ludington State Park, Manistee, and Traverse City to name a few! :) Thank you for a good visit!

My parents, husband, brother and sis in law came back to where we lived almost 30 years ago. House was great! Property manager was active with check in to make sure we were happy. And it was so quiet at night. Loved it!

Gorgeous view of Lake Michigan! This home is the complete package. Very well designed with 4 large doorwalls to view the water. Kitchen has a huge island as well as high end appliances. We enjoyed the covered porch and the quiet neighborhood.
