This salt-box style home tucked away in Manistee National Forest is a true hidden gem. Built in 2004 and wrapped in mature trees, it offers privacy, comfort, and an unbeatable location--between Manistee and Ludington, only 4 miles to Lake Michigan, and close to Nordhouse Dunes, Pete's Bayou on Hamlin Lake, and adjoining National Forest on two sides. Inside you'll find a full-sized kitchen, full bath, main floor bedroom, living room with woodstove, and an open loft upstairs for bunks, buddies, or grandkids. Recent major updates include adding electric service (previously generator only), bathroom remodel and drilling a brand-new well in October 2025. Currently used as a private seasonal getaway, this property could easily transition into a year-round home or an all-seasons vacation rental--appealing to hunters, anglers, snowmobilers, and nature lovers. Rustic and woodsy outdoors, comfortable and updated indoors, this home is the best of both worlds and definitely worth a second look.
