3 Bedroom Cottage in Bitely

Beautiful lakefront cottage atop a small bluff on 160 acre all-sports Nichols Lake that gets up to 60' deep, w/ incredible sunset views! This renovated 3 bedroom, 2 full bath cottage w/ AC has a full kitchen, laundry, open living room and dining area, family room in lower walk-out, huge deck overlooking the lake, firepit, dock for your boat, and sleeps 9 in beds. The lake is fantastic for fishing, swimming, and boating and is surrounded by Manistee National Forest. It's campfires and lounging on lake time!
The Sunset Cottage offers incredible views, and good fishing (Bluegill, Crappie, Bass, Pike), swimming, boating & kayaking/canoeing with 2 public boat launches just around the corner, if you bring a boat (plenty of space at the dock to tie up shallow draft boats, or beach your boat). We do have a 22' Pontoon available for rental (please ask for details), and the 2 kayaks are included in the accommodations. The cottage provides all the comforts of home, with a full kitchen including coffee station with coffee, laundry, bedrooms with linens, bathrooms with towels, bathing supplies and toilet paper. The large lakeside deck includes table with umbrella and chairs, and a gas grill. There are 30 flowing steps down to the beach/dock. Water activities in the summer, snowmobiling in the winter--This is a perfect getaway any time of year! A 4 PM late check out is available after Labor Day until Memorial Day.
Guests will have full access to the house, property, lake frontage & dock, including 2 kayaks which are included in the rental price. Pontoon boat available for rent for additional cost.
Please be aware that this is not a sandy beach. The beach over at the NW launch is currently more suitable for playing in the sand, and there is also a nice beach area accessible by boat to the SW (visible from the deck) where you will often see boats beached, and people hanging out.
We do have a pontoon boat that is available for rent. Please let us know if you are interested at least a week prior to your arrival day. We will need to coordinate your check-in so we can do a boat check-out, collect a security deposit, payment, and sign a rental agreement.

Summary: Clean, spacious property with all the amenities.Perfect space for our girls weekend. It was a cool May weekend but we still spent most of our time on the deck with an amazing view of the lake. The bedrooms were perfect for us and quiet for those early to bed. We took a kayak ride across the lake. Looking forward to returning when the beach is upgraded.

Summary: The forest and lake setting were wonderful away from it all...while the house still provided all the clean and comfortable amenities of being home. Sunsets and morning fog, fall volors were especially great!

Summary: Spent a week at Nichols Lake cottage. There were 6 of us, all adults (two sets of parents and two 20something male cousins), and it was a perfect space!! The cottage looks like the pictures, very neat and clean. The kitchen is well stocked. The best part is the deck overlooking the lake. And Brad is super responsive!!
