Looking for that perfect, laid-back lake life without the massive price tag? This charming two-story cottage on Lake Manitou is exactly what you’ve been waiting for. Built in 1990, boasting a new gas furnace and central air, it’s got all the modern reliability you want wrapped up in a unique, shotgun-inspired layout that completely maximizes the space. The real star of the show is the massive 16x16 upstairs bedroom right on the lakeside- it's big enough to be a killer bunk room for the kids and cousins, or a spacious double-queen setup for guests, all while serving up gorgeous views of the water. With 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths total, there's plenty of room for everyone. Outside, a mature shade tree keeps things cool and peaceful, and the lakeside deck is practically begging for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Plus, you get an oversized one-car garage to store all your lake toys, and the low property taxes are a huge bonus. Whether you're hunting for a weekend getaway or a full-time retreat, this one delivers major lake vibes at a great value. Come check it out and get ready for summer on the water!
