The Pines in Christmas - Near Pictured Rocks

Pictured Rocks Family Rentals welcomes you to The Pines! Quaint lakefront cottage on Furnace Lake. It is conveniently located right off M28 in Christmas, less than 5 miles from downtown Munising, the beginning of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. There are 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Our cottage offers 1 king bed, 1 queen bed, and 2 full beds. Come up to enjoy Pictured Rocks & numerous waterfalls in the area. Only 2 blocks from Christmas ORV/snowmobile trailhead. The space We added central air conditioning to the home in the summer of 2021. The second bedroom here is a little odd. It used to be a jacuzzi tub bathroom. The previous owner removed the jacuzzi tub, and now there is a bed in there. The room still has a toilet and sink in it. We have added a curtain to block toilet view from bed. While it is unusual, we think it is worth keeping to have an extra lavatory for larger groups. The third bedroom is a heated 4 season porch with both a queen bed and a full bed in it. We added a tankless water heater in January 2024, now there is unlimited hot water, so nobody has to dread being the last one to take a shower :) The home has a beautiful view (especially for evening sunsets!) overlooking Furnace Lake and is very quiet and peaceful. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Up to 2 dogs are allowed with preapproval, but there is a $75 non-refundable pet fee that will need to be added. -Signed rental agreement and security deposit hold required for all reservations. Primary guest will need to send a picture of government issued ID and list names and ages of all other guests in their group. -No parties or events allowed -Quiet time is from 10 pm to 8 am -No smoking allowed in the home, outside and in garage is ok. Please properly dispose of butts. $250 fine for smoking or vaping inside the cottage -There are 2 exterior audio/video recording security devices that are on 24/7, and motion activated. One faces the entry doors going into home and the garage, while the other one faces the driveway from the corner of the porch/entry door. Guest access Guests have full access to the home (other than locked mechanical closet), garage, red outbuilding next to garage, and yard. The red outbuilding near the garage has the life jackets in it as well as the oars for the rowboat and the kayaks. The red outbuilding near the road is not available to guests. Other things to note Our cottage offers beautiful sunsets as it faces west overlooking Furnace Lake. We include a row boat and a couple kayaks to enjoy Furnace Lake with your stay. You can also fish in the lake, and we have had guests catch some pike and perch. Swimming is not recommended as the beach is mucky feeling and I am assuming has leeches in it. The ducks and geese really seem to enjoy hanging out near our dock, so you can enjoy seeing some wildlife while staying here. But be careful where you step as they also leave traces of their visits, lol.
