The Lake House Oasis feels like a true slice of heaven. Nestled between the trees, facing Lake Michigan lies a newly built (2017) lake house. Not to be easily seen from the road, you are greeted with a wide, gravel/dirt driveway. Walking up the short stairway to the beautiful carved glass entrance of the lake house, you'll open the door to a captivating entryway with marble floors. The kitchen (well water) is just to the left, filled with all your basic necessities. Newer appliances: refrigerator, electric stove, dishwasher, coffee maker and even a precision induction cook top Plates, cups, bowls, pots/pans and silverware are all fresh and ready to make your family vacation as easy and comfortable as possible. The Lake House Oasis has plenty of counter-top space, while looking out at beautiful Lake Michigan.
Meander into the dining room with the wooden table for 6 of the people dear to you to enjoy a meal together overlooking Lake Michigan. The gorgeous wood floors compliment the wooden table perfectly. So that the whole family can eat together, the counter doubles as an eating bar with the 4 bar stools facing the kitchen. Keeping the chef company is always appreciated.
Next to the dining room, you'll find the cozy high-top table with 4 chairs. Perfect for your breakfast coffee or evening cocktail. The wet bar in this nook between the dining and living rooms is a wonderful compliment to the space. There are various drinking glasses from margarita, martini and the classic wine glasses.
Moving through the wet bar/ breakfast nook, you never stop overlooking Lake Michigan! The living room has has a comfortable couch with a chaise lounger on one side, There is a working fireplace and TV with Directv, as well as a Blu-ray DVD player to enjoy your time relaxing, when you aren't at the peaceful Lake Michigan sandy beach.
Off the main floor living room, you'll find a convenient bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. There is an electric fireplace for you to enjoy as well!
Your outside patio dining and relaxing is available from 3 different exits off the main level. The options are endless. There is even a stairwell down to the beach from the main floor outdoor patio setting.

Beautiful Location
Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and loved staying at Lake House Oasis. We loved being right on the private beach and the view was amazing. I think our black lab loved it the most! At night, we left the door to our bedroom balcony open and fell asleep to the sounds of the waves. The house is nice. It could use a little updating/repairs. For example the bathroom sinks and tub drained extremely slowly causing the water to pool up in the shower. I also had to plunge one of the bathroom sinks because it was so stopped up. Whoever maintains the house should address the drains. I’m sure it’s just because of the amount of sand, etc. The shower curtains could be replaced as well as new towels…they were a little dingy from wear and tear. But these are all minor things. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at the house and the rental company was extremely responsive. We needed our garbage picked up early because the trash bin was already overflowing and they immediately responded and had the caretaker collect it. I would definitely recommend this place and it’s proximity to the beach makes it all the better.
FVR RESPONSE:
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, Kim! It's great to know that you (and your lab) were able to enjoy your stay, though I'm sorry to hear about the slow drains putting a bit of a damper on things. We do our best to keep them flowing well, but due to all the sand there are sometimes buildups. We also appreciate the suggestions for things that could stand to be replaced, and have since addressed those. Hopefully we will get a chance to host another stay with you in the future!

We loved our stay! The view from the deck is perfection! Our dogs enjoyed their daily beach walk and swim. It is a perfect get away from our too busy daily lives. We hope to be back next year if the house is available. Thank you for a perfect week of rest, relaxing, and time away!

Lake House Oasis is by far our BEST vacation spot in Michigan. The home has the BEST beach in Michigan and you practically have the entire waterfront to yourself. The home has everything you can possibly need and more. We have enjoyed some of the best stargazing we have ever had in Michigan. Our golden retriever loves the lake and beachfront just as much as we do. The location of the home is so close for day trips to many waterfalls, Pictured Rocks, etc. The entire team at Freshwater Vacation Rentals is always great to work with and take care of any special requests or problems that may occur. That is why we keep coming back!

Amazing vacation
This house is beautiful……so sparkling clean and fully equipped. Nicest vacation home I’ve ever stayed in. Bonus….pets were allowed. The beach is gorgeous. I cannot say enough about Freshwater Vacations. They are wonderful to work with and are quick to respond with any issues that may come up. Super accommodating! This was my 3rd visit…why go anywhere else with this level of satisfaction! Becky

Great setting. Great amenities.
We were very impressed with this place. With the exception of the basement entertainment room, every room in the house had a great view. The house is nicely laid out for both group activities and individual privacy. The kitchen in a rental is important to us and this one did not disappoint. The appliances, propane grill, supplies, and pots and pans were all great with few exceptions.

Simply amazing!
We had a wonderful stay at the Lake House Oasis near Manistique. The house is beautiful, spacious and very clean. The frontage on Lake Michigan is simply amazing. We went for walks on the beach every day, even when it snowed! We cooked all of our meals and found the kitchen was well stocked with assorted pots, pans and utensils. We will be back! Stephanie

Lake House Oasis Winter Weekend
We had such a great time. Kitchen is stocked with an awesome variety of pots and pans, dishes and glassware. Beachfront is amazing (yes, even in the winter) and full views of both sunrise and sunset. The space was very comfortable and family friendly. The beds were comfortable and bedrooms spacious. We were nice and warm while we enjoyed a break from the norm! All questions were answered promptly and we were accommodated with an hour later checkout. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Great time at Lake House Oasis
We had a group of 6 kids, two adults and two dogs everything was fantastic. The house was well equipped and provided enough room for all of us. Each room was clean and the our first impression upon entry exceeded our expectations. Curiously, the only suggestion we would have is to provide hangers in all the closets; most of the closets had none.The stretch of beach is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen in all of Michigan. The availability of the kayaks was a welcome amenity. The close proximity to Jack's Market, one of the nicest grocery stores I have ever been in, provided for all of our food needs. We would recommend Lake House Oasis without hesitation.
FVR RESPONSE
Al, thanks for this wonderful recommendation! Isn't it just the best when your dogs can come with you on vacation? We will get the hanger situation taken care of - thanks for letting us know. We loved having you as our guests and hope to work with you again.

Such a warm and happy place for our family to come together for Christmas! They even put up a tree!! My 2 year old nephew was very happy that Santa would know where to find him! :) The house is beautiful, with absolutely spectacular views of and access to the beach. It was a little bit of a bummer that the fireplace doesn't work, but the kitchen was well stocked with all the needs for cooking christmas feasts, the couches and beds are super comfy, and overall, this is a magical place and it was perfect for our gathering.
FVR response:
Meghann, we are glad that Santa knew how to find you also!
Lake House Oasis is a perfect spot to celebrate the holidays. It sleeps 8 and your pets can come along. If you like to cook, the Lake House Oasis has plenty of counter-top space, while looking out at beautiful Lake Michigan. We hope to work with you again.

Fall Family Vacation
The house was very nice and everything was as represented in the listing. It was conveniently located for visiting many of the beautiful sites in the central and eastern Upper Peninsula. We enjoyed dinner at Tap 21 and breakfast at the Cedar Street Cafe which are both located nearby in Manistique. The rental agents were very friendly and responsive for any needs before, during and after our rental. I highly recommend this house to enjoy what the beautiful upper peninsula has to offer.

Relaxing Vacation
We had a great time exploring the beautiful upper peninsula. Lake House Oasis was a great house and was well equipped for our family of three and our 2 dogs. We enjoyed beautiful views of both the sunrise and sunset daily from the beach. The sound of the waves was relaxing in the evenings as well. The staff was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had before and during our stay. I highly recommend it!

Tracy, thanks for this recommendation and review. Don't you just love taking your pups on vacation with you! Lake House Oasis is on Lake MIchigan and sleeps 8. It has a large deck across the front of the house, which is perfect for watching the sun rise and set. We'd love to have you back again.

Great place right on the beach
We loved our stay over Labor Day weekend. The home was far enough from town to be away but close enough to go in for groceries or a place to eat. Home was clean, had everything we needed and an awesome beach! Plenty of bathrooms for the 9 of us. The yard area was well kept and patio space and tables to eat outside. Loved the home!

Brent, thanks for taking the time to write this great review. Labor Day in the U.P. is pretty special. The deck overlooking the water is perfect for morning coffee or a nap! We hope to see you back again.

September 2019 Get Away
We stayed at the Lake Oasis with our friends and their furry baby and had a great experience. The house is conveniently located to shopping and major points of interest in the UP. We home's furnishings, large deck, and beach access. This was our first trip to the UP, and we will be back!! The only suggestions we have are: repair screens on deck doors; provide guide book to assist with operating TV and fireplace; evaluate smoke detectors. During the first night , the smoke alarm in the master bedroom went off repeatedly. We had to remove the battery to deactivate. We highly recommend this property for those who are looking for a relaxing get away but with all the conveniences of home!!!

Chris, we are honored that your first trip to the UP was at Lake House Oasis, and being directly on Lake Michigan is the best! This cottage was built in 2017 and it includes a washer and dryer. And as you said, fur babies are welcome to stay with their humans. We'll let the owners know your suggestions and get them taken care of. We do hope to see you again.

Great house
This is a new clean beach house. Manistique is a sleepy town but we enjoyed beach walks and swims with dogs. It is not easy to find a nice dog friendly rental but this one was very close to perfect. It has everything you need except beach and dog towels which we always take with us anyway. This is a nice home for 1 or 2 families. The living room is on the smaller size but there is also a basement TV room perfect for kids. There was 1 real flaw with the house for our trip: sulfur smelling tap water. If that is resolved we would probably return. A few of the door screens need to be fixed as well as cleaning of other screens but there are many windows so we were able to open a few and get fresh air. If you stay here please take care of the house and only stay with well behaved dogs!! We hope that if we return it is as nice and clean as when we stayed!

Linee, thanks for this review. We are happy that you enjoyed Lake House Oasis. Nothing matches being directly on Lake MIchigan with the amazing beaches, sunsets and sunrises. A little bit of heaven. 3 kayaks are included for guests to use. We will work on the water issue and thanks for the heads up on the screens and screen doors. We hope to see you and your pup again.

Great Family Vacation
The house and lake access were great. We had everything we needed and the grocery store wasn’t far. We had a fun time enjoying the water and would recommend it for sure. The house was very clean and had a modern feel. We had six people and there was plenty of room.

Heather, we are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Lake House Oasis. Nothing beats staying right on Lake Michigan, having access to 8 kayaks and allowing your dog to come with you on vacation! Day trips will take you to Mackinac Bridge, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore or Tahquamenon Falls State Park.

Amazing Vacation
This is the first time renting a place for vacation, and getting pair up with another company. My in-laws arrived at the house first, and they were really impressed with the layout, and the scenery. Upon arrive myself, the view was amazing to see. For the whole week, my family and I had a great time. It was the first time, my daughter (age 2) was on Lake Michigan. Lots of first's for her. First time, she had a s'more. It was great. The customer service that was provided, from the check in call, to helping my wife with the cable, were great. I will definitely rent with you guys again, and skip the Homeaway site.

A home away from home
Such a beautiful home! Wonderfully updated, maintained and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Close enough to head to town, yet far enough away to feel a little remote...and the ability to look out over Lake Michigan is icing on the cake, no matter what time of year! Your home made our "time away" even that much better!
FRESHWATER RESPONSE:
John, we love getting reviews like yours! Lake House Oasis is a fantastic property, and you are right that being on Lake Michigan is such a pleasure no matter the time of year. We would like to continue being your "home away from home" for years to come, so do come back!

We loved the Lake House Oasis
We enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Lake House Oasis in Manistique. The home had all the amenities we needed, including kayaks. We especially loved listening to the waves at night. We would definitely stay here again.
FRESHWATER RESPONSE:
Debbie, we're so glad that you found Lake House Oasis to be as lovely as we find it. The sound of the waves can be mesmerizing - the perfect affect for a vacation. We'll look forward to seeing you again.
