Laing's Cabins at Manistee Lake

The book "Main St., A Portrait of Small Town Michigan" by Manny Crisostomo included an introduction by a Michigan native Tom BeVier. He tells of a man during the Depression who traded a Zenith radio for 15 acres of land on Manistee Lake. The man's friends in southern Michigan said he was foolish. He and his father arrived 3 days later to check out the 15 acre purchase. They settled into the little log cabin, and the community that remained from the lumber boom. That first evening they watched the sun set over Manistee Lake. The son said to his father, "This is the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen." "I think I'll hold on to this land. " The sunsets are truly spectacular and this story relates to a large part of why our family has owned the land over 50 years. Laing's Cabins are located on the east side of Manistee Lake, just outside of Kalkaska Michigan. We have 2 cabins; both have plenty of room to sleep as many as 6 people comfortably. We provide you with a full kitchen, all of the cookware and dishes you will need. A 60 foot dock is shared between the cabins. The cabins are perfect for a relaxing vacation spent swimming, fishing or enjoying the view.
