Cozy lake cottage on Whalen lake with a relaxing hot tub right outside Manistee National Forest. Close to miles and miles of ORV, bicycle and hiking trails. The house sits on just under an acre of land on Whalen Lake. With easy access right off of US 10 on a paved road, the lake offers a tranquil atmosphere for any type of vacation. You can utilize the paddle boat or kayak that are provided to get out on the lake or you can fish right off of the dock. Located less than five minutes from town, where you'll find Jones' homemade ice cream, the world's largest brown trout sculpture, shops and restaurants. If you prefer a home cooked meal, the full kitchen has everything you'd need, or you can make something on the grill with a beautiful view of the lake. There are two bedrooms on the first floor and a large loft area with a full bathroom on each floor. Take advantage of the relaxing outdoors, either on the back porch at the patio table, in the screened gazebo, or out by the bonfire pit. This is a great starting point to take advantage of all that Northern Michigan has to offer. Some of our favorite day trips are to Traverse City for awesome wineries, breweries, and shopping; Ludington for great restaurants, and the beautiful beach on Lake Michigan; or to the dunes at Silver Lake. Full access to the house, bonfire pit, paddle boat and four kayaks. The kayaks and paddle boat are available from May 1st to Sept 30th. I can be contacted by text, email or phone during your stay but will not be on site. We have a ring doorbell on the house. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower/bathtub combination - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Foosball table - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 1,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105760000/105757000/105756906/c96603be.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### River House Close to Downtown Baldwin with Large Back Deck Baldwin - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=105756906&PinnedHotelID=105756906&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/43000000/42700000/42697100/42697001/f0001263.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Black Bear Cabin-Hot tub, Pet friendly, Riverfront Baldwin - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 195 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=42697001&PinnedHotelID=42697001&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108510000/108508700/108508612/f1515bba.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Black Bear Retreat-Hot Tub, Pet Friendly, Game Room Chase - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=108508612&PinnedHotelID=108508612&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100700000/100695400/100695305/w1280h851x0y2-65cfc561.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Reel Paradise, The Fishermen Cabin: Hot Tub & Fun!
