3 Bedroom House in Baldwin

Welcome to one of the most desirable properties on Big Star Lake, a beautiful all-sports lake located in the heart of the Manistee National Forest. Large lakefront windows provide sensational views of the lake from every angle. The open main floor living area with beautiful reclaimed wood floors has a large fireplace anchored at one end, and a gourmet kitchen at the other, complete with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and all the food prep and cooking/serving implements you could want.
This property is the perfect setting for family & friends to come together and make amazing memories.

Summertime:
Soak up the sun on our private, sugar-sand beach. The gradual grade into the lake is ideal for families with small children. Secure your boat to our new 75' dock with swim ladder, or enjoy our watercraft: 2 stand up paddle boards, 2 kayaks, a 12' aluminum rowboat, and a paddleboat. Relax in a hammock or our luxury resort beach chairs with umbrellas. The attached garage features a bar, ping-pong, and darts, and just outside, enjoy corn hole. Gather around our large, beach fire pit, enjoy fishing, hiking, biking, ATV trails, world-class trout streams, nearby golfing and countless excursions. Watch bald eagles soar above and fish the lake, listen to the call of the loon, soak in all the sights and sounds of lake life. Reserve now for the best that Northern Michigan has to offer with luxurious accommodations and make lifelong memories at Big Star Lake House.

Fall:
In September, things quiet down here and it's a great time to enjoy fall colors, cooler temps and starry nights outdoors around the fire. Enjoy fishing, hiking, and miles of off-road trails. This is the perfect get away spot with great amenities like the heated garage/bar with games. Take a drive to Traverse City for wine tasting, or watch the sun set over the coast Lake Michigan, both easy day trips.

Winter:
Bring on the snow! The snowmobile trails go on & on and ice fishing is popular. The quiet, calm surroundings are so beautiful. This is a perfect spot to celebrate the holidays with family & friends. Enjoy a peaceful hike around the lake. Don't forget the hot coco.

Springtime:
Nature is awakening and the lake is wide open. You may even be lucky enough to witness a spectacular showing of Northern Lights. Every season is better at the lake!

Summary: Our stay at the Big Star Lake House was awesome. Laurie was one of the sweetest host we have ever booked with. Her and her husband have made this place so inviting and supply everything you would need. Each bathroom was stocked with expensive shampoo/conditioner, bodywash, handsoap, and lotions. They also supplied baskets of any little thing you might have forgot. The kitchen pantry was stocked with all kinds of spices and other things you might need. The beach was amazing and the water toys they provide like paddle boats, paddle boards, and kayaks were enjoyed by us all. We also enjoyed the games and activities in the garage. This place is top notch and I have already told numerous people they need to stay here. One last thing I need to mention is the beds are very comfortable and made with have luxury linens.
