About This Home

As of December 2025

EMERSON LAKE WATERFRONT! This is it! Your dream cottage (or year around home) on Emerson Lake. Or maybe you would like to maximize your investment and offer this home as a short term rental when you are not available to enjoy it. This well maintained home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, attached garage. and a walkout basement. The lot gently slopes down to the sandy beach with aluminum dock. There is also room on the east side of the private drive to add another garage or auxiliary building. Emerson Lake is a private lake (no public access) that offers great swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and other low impact watersports. Or check out the nearby Pere Marquette River in the Manistee National Forest and fish for trout, steelhead and salmon. Or just relax on the porch or around the campfire while watching the abundant wildlife and sensational sunsets reflecting on the lake. But schedule your showing soon, this GEM will not last long.
