*3 KAYAKS INCLUDED

*SANDY BEACH ON PROPERTY
*FANS ONLY- NO AIR CONDITIONING
The Lake House Oasis feels like a true slice of heaven. Nestled between the trees, facing Lake Michigan lies a newly built (2017) lake house. Not to be easily seen from the road, you are greeted with a wide, gravel/dirt driveway. Walking up the short stairway to the beautiful carved glass entrance of the lake house, you'll open the door to a captivating entryway with marble floors. The kitchen (well water) is just to the left, filled with all your basic necessities. Newer appliances: refrigerator, electric stove, dishwasher, coffee maker and even a precision induction cook top Plates, cups, bowls, pots/pans and silverware are all fresh and ready to make your family vacation as easy and comfortable as possible. The Lake House Oasis has plenty of counter-top space, while looking out at beautiful Lake Michigan.
Meander into the dining room with the wooden table for 6 of the people dear to you to enjoy a meal together overlooking Lake Michigan. The gorgeous wood floors compliment the wooden table perfectly. So that the whole family can eat together, the counter doubles as an eating bar with the 4 bar stools facing the kitchen. Keeping the chef company is always appreciated.
Next to the dining room, you'll find the cozy high-top table with 4 chairs. Perfect for your breakfast coffee or evening cocktail. The wet bar in this nook between the dining and living rooms is a wonderful compliment to the space. There are various drinking glasses from margarita, martini and the classic wine glasses.
Moving through the wet bar/ breakfast nook, you never stop overlooking Lake Michigan! The living room has has a comfortable couch with a chaise lounger on one side, There is a fireplace and TV with Directv, as well as a Blu-ray DVD player to enjoy your time relaxing, when you aren't at the peaceful Lake Michigan sandy beach.
Off the main floor living room, you'll find a convenient bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. There is an electric fireplace for you to enjoy as well!
Your outside patio dining and relaxing is available from 3 different exits off the main level. The options are endless. There is even a stairwell down to the beach from the main floor outdoor patio setting.
Heading up stairs, you'll find 2 bedrooms with a bathroom in the middle. All rooms have ceiling fans. Air Conditioning has not been needed at Lake House Oasis with the beautiful cross-breeze. The bedrooms both have ideal views of Lake Michigan. Both bedrooms, have a queen bed, closet and dresser. The bathroom in the middle of the upper level has a tub/shower, toilet and sink with a large mirror. Bath towels and basic linens are provided.
In the ground level, you will find the easiest access the Lake Michigan. There you will find a fun game room with a sitting area, Playstation (bring your own games), TV and Blu-Ray DVD player. WiFi is present throughout this lake house.
Two (2) bedrooms also call the ground floor home, with an ideal older kids room with 2 sets of bunk beds and a queen bedroom on opposite sides of the bathroom/laundry room. The ground floor bathroom is located between the 2 bedrooms, just off the game room area. In the older kids room, one set of bunk beds has a full bed on the bottom and a twin on top. The other bunk bed has 2 twin beds. Both have direct entry to the walkway down to the beach. **This room is not advisable for curious young children sleeping alone.**
The ground floor bathroom also doubles as a laundry room with a shower, toilet, sink and washer/dryer. There is nothing like a warm towel waiting for you when you hop out of the shower. The beach theme is fun in this room.
On the ground floor patio, there is the large propane grill, kayaks for adult use. (Please use extreme caution when kayaking on Lake Michigan.) Also, there is a patio setting for 6 people at the ground level. You are never without space to get caught up with family, friends and all the goodness life has to offer at the Lake Shore Oasis.
Take the walkway to the beach to enjoy your time together at the Lake House Oasis. Relax and soak in this luxurious beach house experience.
As an extra layer of security, we do have video cameras in the back and front of the cottage. There are no cameras inside the cottage.
PLEASE be aware that this property does not have a fenced in yard so you will need to have your dog on a leash while outside. There are neighbors (even if you can't see them) that have dogs as well, so for your pets safety and the neighbors please make sure your dog is leashed.

Aurora Borealis view from the beach
We stayed mid-spring for 13 days. Most of the time it was just my husband and myself, but our adult children joined us for a weekend. The house was very clean on arrival, and check-in was a breeze.
The house was cozy and there was a beautiful view from all the windows. We saw deer in the yard almost every day. It was on the cool side, so we didn’t sit out on the deck. The deck has a nice grill, tables, and chairs. The walk to the beach was short, and the lake is visible from the house. The huge beach was so beautiful and perfect for long walks.
Day to day living in the house was easy with a well stocked kitchen, laundry facilities, and a comfy living room. We were able to get cell service on our phones there, watch local and world news on tv, and stay entertained watching our favorite shows by the fireplace on bad weather days.
The location is perfect for feeling “away from it all”, but it is close enough to a small town for groceries, restaurants, and other necessities. It’s a pleasant drive to many of the UP attractions.
We definitely would recommend this vacation spot. We were able to watch the Northern Lights from the beach-just spectacular and the icing on the cake after a wonderful stay.

Great beach but needs a deep clean
The location, size, and layout of the house was great for our family trip. We loved how easy it was to enjoy the beach. The views from the upper floors are amazing.
The house needs to be deep cleaned. We discussed it with the management and they said it wasn’t up to their standards so I hope they will correct in the future but we had to deal with it all week. The towels smelled very mildewy which I assume is because the washing machine was smelly. It needs some attention. The couch smelled so we hardly wanted to sit in it there was food stuck to some cushions which we cleaned off. Several screens were broken/missing so couldn’t open those windows without bugs coming in (a bummer when that is the way to cool the room).

Fantastic Beach House
We were in heaven in this house. The beach is wonderful. The sand is amazing, softer than other places on Lake Michigan that we've stayed. The water is shallow and usually very calm in the mornings. Great for swimming (especially for kids, I imagine). Our dog loved it.
The house itself was very clean. The cross breezes were wonderful. Lots of large and well-placed windows, and ceiling fans everywhere. We were breathing fresh lake air 24/7. The upstairs bedrooms were a good size, with plenty of floor space plus walk-in closets. The bed we slept in was big (king-size I think) and very comfortable. The furniture was beautiful and generously-sized. We brought a lot of clothes and still had space to spare. The washer and dryer were very nice as well.
The living room was not very large, which was perfect for just the two of us, but larger groups might find it a bit cramped. There was a perfect lounge spot on the living room couch right next to the window with the beach in view that was ideal for reading.
The kitchen wasn't large enough for group cooking, but it had everything we needed to cook our meals. Dishes came out of the dishwasher sparkling clean. Coffee maker was good and clean. The tap water is well water, which upset my husband's stomach (I never tried it). Highly recommend to bring and stock up on bottled water.
We did have one issue when we arrived, the house was still being cleaned. But communication with the reservation company was great and they made it right. We did our grocery shopping, and when we returned the house was ready and very clean. The grocery store, Jack's, is less than 15 minutes away and had everything we wanted, which was a lot because we love to cook. Their fresh baked pasties were excellent and always plenty in stock. Manistique only has a few restaurants and shops, which was fine for us, and we liked all the ones we tried. The central location puts the entire UP within day trip range, but we mostly just stayed on the beach. If you're looking for a quiet relaxing beach vacation, this house is it!

Beautiful Property with Many Amenities
We loved the location and access to the beach and kayaks. The spacing of the rooms was great. The house was nicely stocked with lots of dishes and silverware, cooking pans etc.
That said, the house is in need of some basic maintenance attention as is noted in the journal left for guests to leave their comments and thanks. We thank you for providing a wonderful place for out family to gather and enjoy the peace and quiet. Paying premium means expecting premium.
1. The middle rack in the refrigerator door is broken leading to multiple items falling and spilling / breaking on the floor.
2. The Oven was NOT cleaned prior to our arrival.
3. The faucet in the main floor bathroom needs a screen to prevent water splashing all over.
4. The upper bedroom - right from the stairs - the screen door and French doors do not close all the way letting in bugs and rain. Tin foil was used to secure the closure.
A neighbor showed up on Friday indicating that we were due to leave that day. He said he was there to clean but it was a very weird encounter.
All in all we had a lovely time and would definitely recommend this place to others and possible return ourselves. Please take the above notes about maintenance seriously so future guests will have nothing to complain about. :-)

Beauty in Winter
This property was very beautiful and overlooked Lake Michigan which had lots of beautiful ice sculptures from nature. The house is beautiful however it would be beneficial to give the inside a little facelift. Also curtains would have been nice to not give neighbors a show :) This place is definitely a return spot!

Overall Good
There was a glitch with the cleaning (wasn’t fully clean when we arrived), but we made it work and they refunded our cleaning fee and were very nice to deal with. Check in/out was very easy. Good place to “unplug” (don’t go to a beachhouse or the U.P. if you want internet). Beautiful beach and area. House could use nicer bed linens and a deep clean. Awesome, clean beach walking and searching for shells and other treasures.

As with any weekly rental property, they don’t always go as planned. Upon check in, house had not been cleaned. However, manager was very supportive and responded quickly to get issues rectified! Need another trash can desperately…trash day was actually Wednesday for us, contrary to note on fridge.
Overall, the rebound for exceeded our initial impression!

Beautiful house and amazing beach!
My family had a great stay at the Lake House Oasis near Manistique. The house is beautiful, spacious and very clean. The kitchen is well stocked. The frontage on Lake Michigan is amazing. We went for walks on the beach every day, even when it snowed. It was nice to find this great year round rental on Lake Michigan. We will be back!

vacation in the UP on Lake Michigan
Our family had a beautiful week on Lake Michigan in Manistique. By far the best beach we have had through our years of renting. A spacious, clean house with all the amenities. The best was a washer and dryer that could be used by the vacationers. Everything from check in to check out went smoothly. A very nice grocery story in Manistique that you can purchase everything you might need in the way of food for your stay. They have a wonderful deli at Jacks as well! The property was very nice. Our dogs and granddaughter enjoyed swimming and beach walking daily!

Fall Family Vacation
The house was very nice and everything was as represented in the listing. It was conveniently located for visiting many of the beautiful sites in the central and eastern Upper Peninsula. We enjoyed dinner at Tap 21 and breakfast at the Cedar Street Cafe which are both located nearby in Manistique. The rental agents were very friendly and responsive for any needs before, during and after our rental. I highly recommend this house to enjoy what the beautiful upper peninsula has to offer.

September 2019 Get Away
We stayed at the Lake Oasis with our friends and their furry baby and had a great experience. The house is conveniently located to shopping and major points of interest in the UP. We home's furnishings, large deck, and beach access. This was our first trip to the UP, and we will be back!!
The only suggestions we have are: repair screens on deck doors; provide guide book to assist with operating TV and fireplace; evaluate smoke detectors. During the first night , the smoke alarm in the master bedroom went off repeatedly. We had to remove the battery to deactivate.
We highly recommend this property for those who are looking for a relaxing get away but with all the conveniences of home!!!

Great place right on the beach
We loved our stay over Labor Day weekend. The home was far enough from town to be away but close enough to go in for groceries or a place to eat. Home was clean, had everything we needed and an awesome beach! Plenty of bathrooms for the 9 of us. The yard area was well kept and patio space and tables to eat outside. Loved the home!

Nice house beautiful Lake Michigan
It is always a challenge to find a nice clean rental that accepts dogs. Poor renters ruin it for the rest of us. We vacationed here with our Golden Retriever and Cocker Spaniel. We have good dogs and are very conscious people. I’m a neat freak without being too obsessive. This is one of the cleanest and nicest dog friendly houses we have rented. We walked into clean, freshly washed floors the first day. There is no smell to the house, even in the finished basement. It is extremely well equipped with high end pots and pans, plenty of mugs and plates (for at least 12) and really just about anything you would need except food. There is even salt, pepper, and few spices in the cabinet. We stopped at Jacks Market (15 min away) a few times and were good to go.
The pros of the house are as follows;
Clean house
Clean linens
Beautiful location and picturesque walk on beach
(Walked 4 plus miles every day and could have gone longer)
Kitchen has everything you need
Washer and dryer are high end and great
Management company very responsive. Texted Joan and she responded within minutes.
Beds are not too hard and perfect softness. Perfect Compromise for both me and my husband. We liked the beds a lot.
Bed linens are nice quality
Walking dogs on the main road to do their business is perfect. Road is quiet.
Tons of butterflies to see and photograph
Showers are clean and decent shower heads
Comfortable house to relax in and have a peaceful vacation. It is a very quiet area.
We saw 1 family on the beach after a mile walk and a few families on their decks, all very friendly.
Cons:
A couple of the window screens need to be reattached and many don’t fit securely so bugs get inside. We sprayed the screens with bug spray which helped. All windows inside and out need a good cleaning/vacuuming.,,many dead bugs. The glass is clean but the insides are buggy.
It is buggy in July. The black flies were the worst. Luckily we brought a citronella lemongrass spray with us which was a savior.
The front entrance needs a good cleaning, debugging and staining of steps. For such a nice house the entrance is not welcoming, at all. It just looks buggy and worn.
An area rug is needed at the front door to catch sand/dirt.
Lastly and most importantly: The water from all faucets in the house has a sulfur smell. This needs to be fixed. The smell does linger as well so not pleasant. We would not return unless this was fixed along with the screens.
