This is cottage is the best of both worlds - both lakeside and trailside. It's ideal for the outdoor family who wants lake access for fishing, kayaking, and boating. Hart Lake (also known as Little Silver Lake) is an all sports lake. Included with this cottage is a canoe and three kayaks which you can take out and go fishing or cruise around the lake. The lakefront is intentionally left alone for fish and wildlife habitat - you'll have plenty of yellow lily pads and Illinois pondweed holding the bass or pike of your dreams! The floating dock is the perfect spot for launching kayaks and canoes, and docking your boat/jet ski which can be launched at the public access. This is not a sugar-sand beachfront, rather, it's been kept in its most natural state to attract creatures big and small.
The A-frame is uniquely situated at the trailhead of the Manistee National Forest, with miles upon miles of ATV/UTV & hiking trails, and small game and waterfowl hunting opportunities. This trail system connects with the Michigan State Snowmobile Trail, and can be the launch point of your adventure for ATV'ing, snowmobiling, fishing, hunting, and waterfowl hunting on Unger Lake and others. Whitetail deer, turkey, owls, and many other critters are regular inhabitants of the trail system.
