The home is 1600 square feet and has 100 feet of frontage on the lake. The lot is a little over an acre. There is a fire pit and picnic table along the lake and, please feel free to take the additional loungers and cocktail tables from the porch to use alongside the lake. You can't imagine a more breathtaking view. Throw some wood on your campfire and roast some marshmallows while you are watching the night sky and listening to the waves lap up on the shore. Don't be surprised if some of our area ducks visit you while you're sitting by the lake. Since mother nature changes her mind quite often in the U.P.
Ski:
You can swim on the premises or take a very short drive to big, beautiful sandy beaches!
Along the West side of the Vista, there is a pretty little creek that runs into Lake Superior. Feel free to pick the wild raspberries and blackberries that grow alongside the creek. There's enough to make a pie! If you're interested in Strawberry and Blueberry picking, we know some great spots!
The front yard at Vista is so large and spacious, there is enough room for the kids to play baseball, kickball and tag, and at night they can run around and catch fireflies!
We have some reading material (books and magazines) for adults and kids, and a few games such as cards, trivial pursuit, cribbage, etc. on hand in the event of a rainy day or for your evening family activities!
You can rent a pontoon and/or kayak from across the Bay and putter around Munising Bay, go take pictures of the restored light house on Grand Island, or do a little fishing.
Golf:
the shoreline can be rocky or sandy depending on her mood!. If you'd like a larger beach area for the children to play, Sand Point Beach is just down the shoreline a bit (2 minutes by car). As long as you're there, you can take a walk on the board walk overlooking the Bog. The children will love seeing all the wildlife along the walk.
Bring your bikes or rent one from Bike rentals at the Ferry Dock. The Vista is close enough to ride your bike 1 mile to the Dairy Queen and enjoy your all-time favorite or stop in at the Falling Rock Cafe and Bookstore for a hand dipped ice cream and then enjoy it in our beautiful Munising park. Don't miss Tuesdays' Music in the Park!
Unique to the Vista is the two car attached garage. A spacious place to park your vehicles or store the snowmobiles!
Swimming is both beautiful and refreshing in our own Lake Superior.
