Charming Bluff Lake MI Cottage for $200K: Renovated & Ready for Summer

There’s something special about mornings at Bluff Lake. The mist hangs low over the water, birdsong filters through the trees, and your coffee tastes a little better as you take it all in from the deck of your own little cottage in the woods. Here you will find a charming 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath retreat in Lake, Michigan, tucked away in the heart of Clare County’s cottage country. With trees all around and overlooking the peaceful lake, this 850-square-foot home feels like a true escape. Inside, you’ll find open-concept living with warm knotty pine and shiplap walls, new flooring throughout, and a fully updated kitchen that’s ready for weekend breakfasts and cozy dinners. Everything’s been thoughtfully redone, from the new roof and gutters with leaf guards, to updated plumbing, electrical, and a tankless water heater with softener. Downstairs, a finished walk-out basement gives you space to stretch out or dream up something new. Step outside and you’re right by the water. A new dock invites you to fish, paddle out in the kayak, or just sit back and watch the sun rise. The home comes fully furnished, so it’s ready from day one, whether you’re looking for a personal hideaway or a turnkey short-term rental. Built in 1960 and brought up to modern comfort without losing its charm, this cottage is a slice of northern Michigan serenity. If you’ve been waiting for that perfect lake escape at a price that’s hard to beat, this $200K gem might just be it.
