Dreaming of Lake Life? Stroll down the boardwalk to Orchard Beach; a pristine public recreation area offering two-hundred beachfront acres, bluffs, scenic views, hiking trails, and camping. Gardens planted by the Civilian Conservation Corps and remnants of an apple orchard, for which the park was named, can still be seen. This majestic park is listed in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

This property is just five minutes from Bar Lake access, and five minutes from downtown Manistee, with its charming Victorian-era neighborhoods, Downtown Riverwalk, and historic Vogue Theater. This tranquil property is surrounded by miles of hiking, cycling, and cross-country skiing trails, adjacent to the Bird Sanctuary and Conservancy.

Sunsets over the lake are exquisite! Anticipate hues of gold, orange, pink, and violet. Springtime is fragrant with lilacs and cherry blossoms. Manistee summer nights are rich with fireflies, crickets, peepers, cicadas, and owls. Occasionally, at dawn or dusk, you’ll hear sandhill cranes migrating overhead. Late summer is filled with wildflowers, songbirds, milkweed, and monarch butterflies. Autumn foliage is spectacular! Apples are crisp, grapes are ripe, cider mills and vineyards are plentiful. In winter, winds can turn wild in an instant! When snow falls, the quietude is majestic. Snowmobile trails beckon. This land is a recreational paradise. Orchard Beach House Unit #1 sleeps 10 guests max.
