2 Bedroom House in Mancelona

The lake house is on the quiet south-end of Starvation Lake, near Mancelona Michigan near the some of the best ORV and Snowmobile trails in Michigan as well as 120' of the nicest lake around.
It came into our possession (Mike and Ali Cipriano), following a Cipriano family gathering when, like many others, we fell in love with the lake.
We love to share our property with couples and small families looking for a quiet and peaceful get-away.
If you’re looking for somewhere to wind down and escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life; or a base from which to explore the all-year-round beauty of Northern Michigan, look no further.
Nestled into woodland, with its own dock, fire pit, and decked area overlooking the lake, this recently updated house provides all the amenities for a relaxing stay.
The house itself has two bedrooms including a beautiful galley king size bed with views over the glistening lake.
The first floor provides a full bathroom; a full kitchen with all utensils; and a cozy sitting area where you can end your day seated comfortably around the gas fireplace.
The basement holds the washing and drying machines.
The barn has an extended lean-to, which provides outdoor space to escape from light rainfall, with a large table for family meals. The most recent addition has been the flower garden, which captures the mid to late-afternoon summer sun and is an ideal spot to enjoy some quiet time.
For those who wish to relax in and on the lake, there is plenty to enjoy. The wake restrictions guarantee quiet mornings and evenings for swimming, kayaking and fishing. The lake is renowned for its fishing and some of the best Browns in the state. Starvation Lake is perfectly situated for those who wish to explore the countryside trails on snowmobiles or ATVs, enjoy cross-country skiing, ice-fishing, biking and hiking.
Additional sporting activities can be enjoyed within close proximity: Manistee River for kayaking is just 20 minutes away; Shanty Creek for golf and ski enthusiasts lies 25 minutes from the lake; and it is only a 35-minute drive to Boyne Mountain ski, golf, and zip line water park.
At the north end of the lake is the famous Hideaway Bar, which sells a wide range of bar food and local beverages; and the friendly Starvation Lake Store, which has an ATM, and sells gas, all the basic supplies (++), and lake merchandise. We recommend both!
Only 45 minutes away from Starvation Lake lies Traverse City, Petoskey, and Charlevoix; all of which provide a range of entertainment, wineries and shopping opportunities.
Over the past few years we have had wonderfully relaxed, polite and courteous renters. Our home, and indeed the cove, is not a place for wild parties either on our land, in the house, or through platoon anchorage. Previous renters have understood the necessity to follow the guidelines in regard to respecting the sensitivities of our resident neighbors (being mindful of language, voice levels and music); the rules of this ‘no-wake’ lake (7.30pm-11am – speed restrictions); and the need to consider the wildlife (especially the loons that cannot take to the air quickly enough to avoid fast on-coming speed boats, and the turtles and muskrats that live in the warmer waters of the cove) – we thank them for this respect and would be happy to rent-out our place, through any season, to more guests of the same. All guidelines relating to courtesy and Blue Lake Township Rules are available through booking, and displayed both within the cabin and on the deck. We would be grateful if renters would familiarize themselves with these, prior to arrival.
And finally, for those who are curious as to where this lake house got its name:
we have spent much of our working lives moving from one place to another, and so decided to give the lake house a name that reflected our yearning to, one-day, settle down. Our descent (Italian/ English/Irish), and our past and present lives, led us to one of Ali’s favorite bands, The Dubliners, and one of their most famous songs ‘The Irish Rover’. The song tells of a roving man who decided his days of traveling and wild shenanigans are over, and the chorus provides the name:
‘So it’s no nay never,
no nay never no more,
will I be the wild rover,
no never no more’.
We welcome respectful renters, and look forward to receiving further bookings at the ‘No Nay Never’.

Summary: From my initial inquiry to the availability of The No Nay Never to the moment we pulled out of the driveway for the last time, this was a PERFECT getaway! Mike and Ali are quick to respond with any questions. The home is beautiful both inside and out and the surrounding gardens add to the charm. We thoroughly enjoyed the deck for some sun, reading and laughs. We even caught a view fish from the dock. Use of the kayaks was greatly appreciated. For bird lovers, there are quite a few interesting calls to discover. We made quick trips into the various local towns but opted to spend a majority of our time at the lake. I can't imagine finding another rental that could possibly outshine The No Nay Never. Thanks so much, Mike and Ali!! We look forward to future visits!

Summary: Our family stayed at the No Nay Never in late June and early July of ‘24 for almost 2 weeks and had the most amazing time! We fished, swam, kayaked, played board games, and explored the lake in their small aluminum boat each day and then ate dinner down on the elevated deck overlooking beautiful Starvation Lake. Even after two weeks we wish we could’ve stayed longer! The lake was plenty warm to swim and the fishing was great! We caught a ton of largemouth, smallmouth, bluegill and crappy. Mike and Ali were great communicators before, during and after our stay and answered all questions we had quickly! The cabin was clean and well equipped with everything we’d need for our 2 week stay. Our 3 kids (ages 6,6 and 9) loved sleeping on the bunk beds and the loft bedroom up top was perfect for my wife and I. The kitchen had all the essentials to get us started and there is a small general store a minute down the road that had pretty much anything else we would need. Bigger grocery stores were only about 20 minutes away. We also enjoyed the walleye fish fry at The Hideout, a local restaurant and bar on the other side of the lake. The fire pit was great for making s’mores and we also used the barbecue several times to make meals. They had tons of comfortable outdoor patio furniture and a hammock for our kids to relax in. We whole heartedly recommend the No Nay Never if you are looking for a relaxing, fun time on the water in Northern Michigan!

Summary: Property as described. Setting was really nice - just what we were looking for. Will be improved significantly when basement bathroom is complete. Convenient location for what we wanted to do. We enjoyed our time on the lake.

Summary: A well-maintained cottage on a pretty piece of land overlooking a beautiful lake.
Andrew O. Feb 22, 2021 09:47:37 PM
Summary: We really enjoyed our time at the No Nay Never cabin. Check in and out was easy and the location is great. Excellent views out onto Starvation Lake, and we took advantage of the short drive to Bellaire to enjoy Short's Brewing. Would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a weekend getaway.
Paula C. Feb 8, 2021 05:05:19 PM
Summary: The property location is very beautiful looking over the lake and nestled in the trees. The cabin was clean and had ample kitchen supplies and even toiletries! It exceeded our expectations, and it was well located to pick-up carryout from close restaurants. The kids loved the property with deep snow for sledding and playing. We would come again with our family of four and dog.

Summary: We enjoyed spending our vacation at this cute cabin in the woods. It was extremely pretty watching the snowfall. Our dogs loved playing in the snow. It was extremely fun.
Dave B. Sep 24, 2020 07:42:22 AM
Summary: If you want a getaway this is a good option. Snuggled on the lake there are lovely views and access to the water. Plenty to do to keep you outdoor occupied. Stocked kitchen and new washer dryer to keep things at home. Comfy bed and couch. 30 min from Torch Lake and Bellaire to check out town. Would stay again.
Judy S. Sep 15, 2020 06:50:39 AM
Summary: We arrived to find the house had not been cleaned after the prior renters. I immediately contacted the owners and although he apologized there was no one coming to rectify the situation. I spent hours cleaning the house so we could stay comfortably. We were ultimately credited the cleaning fee and extra for the unexpected situation. We were not happy but made the best of the situation. I will commend the owners for responding quickly and compensating for the problem. That being said... there needs to be maintenance cleaning done on this house. The carpet was badly stained and off putting to look at. The living room furniture was not very comfortable and has seen better days. The outside deck near the lake was a bonus and very relaxing to look out over the lake. We are familiar with the area so we had a good week exploring around the area despite the rough beginning.
