Exterior amenities are a highlight of this property. Enjoy a large, lush, beautifully landscaped yard nestled beside a grove of fir trees. A paver patio boasts a BBQ grill and tranquil alfresco dining area. There’s a huge sauna, and several storage sheds for supplies, bikes, kayaks, etc. Relax in Adirondack chairs beside the fire pit, roast marshmallows, connect with neighbors and fellow travelers.

Stroll down the boardwalk to Orchard Beach; a pristine public recreation area offering two-hundred beachfront acres, bluffs, scenic views, hiking trails, and camping. Gardens planted by the Civilian Conservation Corps and remnants of an apple orchard, for which the park was named, can still be seen. This majestic park is listed in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

Just five minutes from Bar Lake access and downtown Manistee, this tranquil property is surrounded by miles of hiking, cycling, and cross-country skiing trails, adjacent to the Bird Sanctuary and Conservancy. Boating (kayaking, canoeing, SUP, sailing, etc.) is a popular local activity. Nearby, thousands of acres of Manistee National Forest offer year-round opportunities for outdoor adventure.

Sunsets over the lake are exquisite! Anticipate hues of gold, orange, pink, and violet. Manistee summer nights are full of fireflies, crickets, peepers, cicadas, and owls. Occasionally, at dawn or dusk, you’ll hear sandhill cranes migrating overhead. Late summer days are filled with wildflowers, songbirds, milkweed, and monarch butterflies. Autumn foliage is spectacular! Apples are crisp, grapes are ripe, cider mills and vineyards are plentiful. In winter, winds can turn wild in an instant! When snow falls, the quietude is majestic. Snowmobile trails beckon. This land is a recreational paradise.
