Welcome to The Barnhouse, a relaxed, spacious lakefront retreat on beautiful Manistee Lake.
Tucked into the heart of northern Michigan in charming Kalkaska, The Barnhouse is your ultimate year-round escape for families, groups, or anyone looking to unwind and enjoy time on the water. This beautifully updated six-bedroom, three-bathroom retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and adventure. With 120 feet of private sandy frontage on the 900-acre Manistee Lake, endless sunset views, and easy access to northern Michigan’s best towns, trails, and recreation, it is an ideal getaway in every season.
Waterfront Living at Its Best
Step out your back door and onto your own private slice of Manistee Lake. With western exposure, your days end with golden sunsets reflected across the water, best enjoyed from the lakeside deck, the spacious back patio, or around the large fifteen-foot fire pit. Whether you are sipping coffee on the dock, taking a mid-day swim from the sandy shoreline, or casting a line into one of Michigan’s most fish-rich lakes, the lake is the star of the show.
Manistee Lake is a year-round playground for fishing, boating, paddling, and wildlife watching. You will find lake trout, steelhead, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, and walleye, along with easy access to snowmobiling, ATV routes, and four-season trail systems.
Plenty of Room to Relax and Reconnect
The Barnhouse sits on over a half-acre of land, giving your group plenty of space to spread out and unwind. With six full bedrooms and three bathrooms, there is room for everyone, whether it is a multi-family vacation, a getaway with friends, or a cozy couples retreat. A heated garage keeps your gear and vehicles protected year-round, and there is ample parking for trailers and additional guests.
Inside, you will find thoughtful comforts throughout the home. A large open kitchen is fully stocked and ready for big family meals or late-night snacks. The cozy living area invites long conversations, movie nights, or board games by the fireplace. Downstairs, a private theater room gives kids their own space for movies or gaming while adults relax by the fire with a glass of wine.
Outdoor Living, All Day Long
Enjoy every moment of northern Michigan’s seasons from one of three outdoor living areas:
•A lakeside deck with front-row views of the water and sunsets
•A large back deck with a second fire pit, perfect for morning coffee or starlit conversations
•A private dock ideal for sunbathing, swimming, or tying up your boat
Bring your bikes, ATVs, or snowmobiles. With direct access to the Shore-to-Shore Trail and thousands of acres of state land just minutes away, adventure truly starts at your doorstep.
Work, Play, or Just Disconnect
