Charming 2-bedroom cottage with 75 feet of frontage on Walkup Lake, a peaceful setting nestled in the Manistee National Forest just west of Bitely. Whether you're fishing off the dock, relaxing in the hot tub, or enjoying morning coffee on the deck with serene lake views, this place delivers that true up-north getaway feel. Tastefully renovated in recent years, the cottage features updated kitchen, bath, windows, flooring, appliances, and a newer well. A new water heater was just installed in 2024. The open living space offers great natural light and connects seamlessly to the outdoors. All kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, and many furnishings are included in the sale. Outside, enjoy your own sandy beach and dock, known for great fishing and water activities. The garage has been drywalled and is ready to finish for extra living or guest space if desired. Quiet neighbors and a relaxed setting make this one hard to beat. Just minutes from M-37, ORV trails, public land, and more.
