5 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. This unique rental comfortably sleeps 18 and features two distinct homes with 100 feet of private, sugar sand beach.
The Main House has 3 Bedrooms and 3 bathrooms plus an expansive upper living area with 2 sets of twin/full bunks and 2 additional trundle twins. 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, walk-in pantry, and all the food prep and cooking/serving implements you could want.
The adjacent guest house has two more bedrooms (1 queen/2 twins), a full bathroom, living room with gas fireplace and brand new kitchen with stainless steel appliances and spectacular views of the lake. The guest house also features a 28' x 12' screened lakefront porch, the perfect spot for your morning coffee or evening cocktail.
Collectively, this 5 bedroom/4 bath property is the perfect setting for family & friends to come together and make amazing memories.
Summertime:
Soak up the sun on 100 ft. of private, sugar-sand beach. The gradual grade into the lake is ideal for families with small children. Secure your boat to our 75' dock with swim ladder, or enjoy one of our watercraft: 2 stand up paddle boards, 2 kayaks and a paddleboat. Relax in a hammock or our luxury resort beach chairs with umbrellas. The attached main house garage features an eclectic bar with ping-pong, darts, game table and ring the bull, 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 getaway spot with great amenities like our fan favorite heated garage/bar with games. Take a drive to Traverse City for wine tasting, or watch the sun set over the coast of 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, then cozy up inside with some hot cocoa.
Springtime:
Nature is awakening and the lake is wide open. You may even be lucky enough to witness a spectacular Northern Lights show. Every season is better at the lake!

Summary: The property was perfect for our family reunion. The clean sandy beach provided fun in the water, along with the paddle boards and kayaks provided by the owner. The game room was used every evening and was a hit with everyone. The property was very well stocked and we lacked for nothing. Thank you Laurie for such a lovely location to hold our reunion!
