Lakeshore BnB• FABULOUS!

There is nothing like listening to the Lake MI waves crash on the shore. It will mesmerize you, lull you to sleep or invigorate you to swim in the surf! This is the view from your private balcony in this very well-built Lindal home north of Manistee MI. The outer deck is a shared space with the hosts and sits just above the water's edge. Enjoy a glass of wine, chat with your hosts, watch the sunset and stay to star-gaze. This lovely setting is fabulous. You will want to return again and again!
