About this property
Step into a piece of Upper Peninsula history with the Big Spring Tavern, a cherished local landmark in Manistique, Michigan. Formerly known as the Big Spring Inn, this longstanding establishment dates back to the 1940s, when it first served as a gathering place for locals and travelers alike. Just minutes from the famed emerald spring waters of Kitch-iti-kipi in Palms Book State Park, the tavern has remained a convenient and welcoming stop for over 200,000 annual visitors exploring the park's natural beauty. Today, the Big Spring Tavern continues to thrive as a vibrant part of the community, offering a warm atmosphere, delicious food, and up to 26 beers on tap. The property features outdoor dining, gas pumps for added customer convenience, and direct access to Trail 7, making it a prime stop for ORV, snowmobile, and outdoor enthusiasts. With a rare, highly sought-after Michigan Original 550 Resort Liquor License, transferable statewide and unrestricted by local population quotas, the business is well-positioned for continued success. Additional on-site living quarters offer renovation potential, while the expansive 22-acre property presents incredible opportunity for future expansion or complementary ventures. Whether you're looking to invest in a growing hospitality business or steward a historic destination with deep community roots, the Big Spring Tavern offers unmatched potential in an unbeatable location.
