Why the Owner Chose Manistee
This property has been in my family for over 100 years and is very special. My mother and I designed the home, and it was always intended to enjoy with friends and family. There is a spiritual peacefulness here unlike any other place I know, and I have traveled quite a bit.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The sunsets are phenomenal! The sugar sand beach is wonderful, and we love to walk down to the inlet at Portage Lake (about a 45 minute walk on the beach) and fish off the jetty. Or we just canoe down with the fishing poles. The kids love it! Having 3 washers and dryers with all the family here is a HUGE help, and 5 bathrooms makes getting ready much easier! The 3 kitchens give everyone privacy - the early birds can grab their coffee without waking everyone else, and the night owls can prowl at their leisure.
Owner's Map of Manistee
I enjoy sharing this property with other people who appreciate its beauty and peacefulness as my family does. My grandmother and grandfather always enjoyed spending summers here, and I grew up coming to this property every year. My family and I now live in Manistee year-round and love being in God's country.
