Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
This house was an accident! We had purchased the home next door in 2005 and a family member bought the lot this house sits on. After 2 years and finally getting approvals and permits, they decided to sell and we took over ownership.
From the beginning we wanted to build the perfect casual/elegant retreat for ourselves and others. Because we also own the home/beach to the south, we can offer both homes for rent to groups up to 27.
Why the Owner Chose Manistee
We love Lake Michigan! We love the sounds, the smells, the views and most especially the calm, peaceful feeling of being up north.
The Unique Benefits of this House
This home is loved by all because it is surrounded by trees yet right on the water. The details are top quality and everyone loves having their own bath.

My guests have been submitting their reviews to a link I gave them that had been set up in 2008. I only recently discovered that those reviews were not on my site. I checked with Homeaway and was told that in the spring of 2010 a guest could submit a review via the Homeaway site but needed to create a homeaway account. I guess I need to change my review requests but in the meantime, here are some reviews of our home on Lake Michigan. Of course, feel free to call me anytime with questions. And thanks for your interest!

We are a group of eight ladies that had the most enjoyable girlfriend getaway that we've experienced in our 8 years of getaways. We will definitely return next year - the Fall is such a beautiful time to be "up north". When 8 ladies are happy, you know you have really hit a winner; thanks again, Eileen.

We rented this house and the apartment below over Christmas with our family. It was perfect for us, and more than large enough to be comfortable in winter. The house is gorgeous and the location is even better. The view of the lake provided constant entertainment —including bald eagles and deer. Owner Submitted Review Helpful votes:0/0.

We rented this property for our family of 10 for memorial day weekend. Everyone loved this place! The house is in a fantastic location and the beach is literally steps away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will plan on being back here as soon as we can.

The house was ideal for our needs and wonderfully equipped with everything we could have asked for. During our stay we had sunshine, rain, wind, snow..and we loved it all. We played on the beach every day, traveled to all the wonderful towns we love in the area, visited the local fruit markets..but mostly we just spent quality time together in a beautiful, well loved home ..with a view that was nothing short of spectacular. Your home provided a much needed respite for us and we are so thankful to have discovered it. Thank you for your hospitality and for sharing your beautiful home with us.

This house/cottage is a beautiful place to rent. The view of Lake Michigan is awesome; the place beautiful and well equipped; plenty of room to spread out; great place to walk on the beach and across the street in the forest. Eileen is very gracious and helpful. We would highly recommend Eagle Shores for anytime of the year.

This property is top-notch. The home is lovely, the beach/landscape are gorgeous, and the atmosphere is very peaceful and serene. Eileen is a wonderful host. She makes herself available if you have questions or concerns, but is very respectful of your privacy. The house is very well stocked with all the necessities as well as many extras. Things that are less often thought of -- like tweezers, kitchen tools/gadgets, spices, etc. are here if you need them. If you love to go for nice, long, private beach walks; enjoy seeing deer come to the water's edge for a drink; and are awestruck by the sight of eagles flying/nesting in the trees down the beach, you won't be disappointed. Thank you, Eileen, for sharing this lovely home with us once again. We'll be back next spring!

Even though I saw pictures I still said "WOW!" when I walked through the door. It was everything I imagined it would be. The kitchen, great room, master bedroom, and deck were outstanding. The wireless access was great to have with all the other amenities. The owners had excellent communication during the reservation process. They always responded in a timely manner, and provided excellent information to make the check in process simple. We are definitely going back for another weekend. I can't remember the last time I was so relaxed. This home gets 5 stars. It's worth every penny regardless if the weather decides to cooperate...or not!
