Free Soil House | Private Lakefront Retreat-Quiet Getaway

4 Bedroom House in Free Soil

Modern, new home on a secluded, wooded 2 acre lakefront property within the Manistee National Forest. Take advantage of countless outdoor activities. You can fish from shore or take a leisure canoe ride (included) right from our beach while catching glimpses of the local, soaring Eagles. There's a public boat launch across the lake if you want to bring your own fishing boat.
Summertime invites unlimited hiking, golf, disc golf, biking, motorcycling, side by sides, boating, fishing lakes, trout streams and rivers nearby. Enjoy dining out for dinner or breakfast in nearby Downtown Manistee within a 15 minute drive or Ludington which is about 30 minutes away. Manistee promotes several golf courses all within minutes from your retreat. Try your luck or catch a concert or show at The Little River Casino which is less than 30 minutes away as is the local Manistee Airport with United Airlines daily flights to and from Chicago. Manistee Hospital (Munson Healthcare) is 20 minutes away with 24 hour emergency health care available. A stay wouldn't be complete without a short trip (20 minutes) to the incredible beaches of Lake Michigan (recently voted "Best Beach in Michigan" by USA Today 10Best readers) or take your pick from a plethora of hiking trails, dunes and bluffs.
Winter time invokes snowmobiling from the house, ice fishing, ice skating on the lake or simply reading a good book by the fire with a fantastic view of the lake. Take advantage of a day at Caberfae Peaks Ski Area which is an easy 45 minute drive or Crystal Mountain which is less than an hours drive away.
We built this home to offer the opportunity for folks to create amazing experiences and memories for themselves and their families. It is our greatest hope that you'll find this incredible location as magical as we do. The quiet and solitude will amaze you as will the view.
The huge, lower level bunk room has a bunk bed and a trundle with a full size mattress easily fitting 2 children. A total of 6 kids or even 5 adults can comfortably sleep in the bunk room. Just outside the bunkroom is the lower level family room with a comfy sectional centered around a big screen, Smart TV. On the opposite side of the lower level is the Charlevoix Room with a king size bed, closet and sitting area for quiet reading or just looking outside. The lower level features it's own full size bathroom with combination tub/ shower and a full size washer and dryer.
The upper level features a great room including a fully equipped kitchen with all brand new appliances and cookware. There's a provided coffee maker for potted coffee. We've supplied a grill outside for cookouts and plenty of outdoor furniture for sitting on the deck. The living area has a wonderful, gas fireplace for the cool evenings and mornings or cold winter days. We installed a 70" Samsung Smart TV above the fireplace for family movie nights. Above is a large bladed fan to help keep a steady and comfortable temperature throughout the house. Opening the glass, sliding doors and windows and leaving the screens closed allows for a fresh breeze while protecting from possible insects.
Our upper level guest room has a comfortable, queen size bed, a private reading area, closet and of course an inspirational view of the water and wildlife. Next to this room you'll find the upper level guest bath with combination tub/ shower.
The primary suite enjoys a king size bed, sitting area, walk in closet, stackable washer & dryer as well as a large bathroom and walk in, custom tiled shower including a rainfall shower head.
The front porch faces south and is protected from the North and the West which gives you a warmer place to hang outside if there's a cold breeze. The difference in temperature on the opposite sides of the home can be significant in the spring and fall.
We did this for you and we invite you to be our guest in our dream home. We ask that you care for it as you would your own and we hope and believe that you will want to return. We encourage you to bring your outdoor toys, fishing stuff, kayaks, fishing boat, bikes or whatever it is that you love doing. This is a great staging spot for snowmobiling too. Leave your phones and electronics behind, get to know each other again and take advantage of this amazing spot, you're going to love it.

Summary: We stayed at yogi’s hideaway for this year’s summer vacation. The house was immaculate and clean. My husband and I stayed in the master suite and the bathroom, walk-in closet and laundry combo was awesome. We cooked almost every night and the house had all of the cooking utensils/pans that we needed. The lake was so peaceful. We really enjoyed the large deck as well.
