"This year, we moved our yearly snowmobile trip to the UP.  We did a lot of online research for places to stay.  After meeting Les, the Sleepy Eyed Goose owner at the Novi Snowmobile Show, we decided to give his place a shot.  We were glad we did.  Our cabin was immaculately clean and well equipped.  We were located within minutes of great trails.  The best part of the trip was the hospitality shown by Les and Kristi.  We had an absolute blast with them and they bent over backwards to make us at home.  They treated us like old friends rather than new customers.  We would wholeheartedly recommend the Sleepy Eyed Goose to anyone looking into a true up north experience.  Not only are the facilities top notch, we could not find a better value.  Couple that with the outstanding customer service we received, we couldn't imagine a better place.  Thanks for everything!"

The Resort


Located on the south shore of Big Manistique Lake, we are centrally located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  There are thousands of acres of forest to walk and miles of Lake Michigan and Lake Superior beaches.  Well kept golf courses are also located in nearby Germfask, Newberry and Naubinway.

The Sleepy Eyed Goose Resort is located in the Cook's Bay area of Big Manistique Lake, 4 miles from downtown Curtis and is open year round.

We have our own scale house and each cabin has its own dock space in our private marina off the main lake.  Motor rentals and gas are available for boats.  Fishing is ideal for walleye, perch, pike and both small and large-mouth bass.  The surrounding area is idea of bear, deer and bird hunting.  Private land is available to rent nearby for rifle and bow hunting.  With direct lake access, this is an ice-fisherman's haven!
