Northern Michigan Paradise! Tucked away on the sandy shores of all-sports Pettibone Lake, just 20 miles west of Big Rapids and 12 miles south of Baldwin, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom lodge serves up the ultimate Northern Michigan getaway. Set on a quiet, wooded lot and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Manistee National Forest, this 2,300 sq. ft. home blends rustic charm with lakefront adventure through every season. With sweeping lake views from all three levels, multiple decks for outdoor entertaining, and cozy knotty pine interiors, the lodge invites both relaxation and recreation. Inside you'll find a galley-style kitchen, a two-stall attached garage, and plenty of space to gather — whether it's an intimate retreat or a larger group of family and friends. The owners have taken steps to enhance efficiency, and updated windows and a hybrid geo-thermal system go a long way towards keeping you comfortable year round. Explore the water with kayaks, paddleboats, paddleboard, or sporting boat! Younger swimmers will love the shallow beach entry, while older kids and adults can paddle out to the sandbar to snorkel and socialize. Walk or jog the scenic one-mile loop around the lake, or venture into nearby trails for off-road hikes in the forest. Come winter, this home transforms into a cozy base camp for snowmobiling, ice fishing, skating, and skiing... just 45 minutes from Caberfae Peaks! Like what you see inside? With the right offer, most of the furnishings could be included, and you are certain to appreciate those updated appliances! Whether you're seeking peace and wildlife or year-round outdoor fun, Dancing Bear Lodge offers an unforgettable Up North experience. Cozy enough for two, yet designed to welcome many: this is lakefront living at its finest. Come and take a look!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
