Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Manistee
Our family of 5 had been vacationing in northern Michigan since 1985 and longed to have a place of our own. In the summer of 2003, we found a lovely road off the highway that have wonderful beaches and wasn't "touristy". We looked at a couple of properties but they didn't fit our budget. Then that fall, I found a listing online and we decided to drive up (300 miles) and couldn't believe how perfect it was for us. The only way we could afford buying it was to rent it out and as they say, the rest is history!
The Unique Benefits of this House
The greatest benefit to staying at our home called Heaven is because that is the feeling people get whenever visiting, that is feeling like they are in heaven! Because the property is wider rather than deeper, the privacy and view from the home is amazing. It offers feelings of tranquility and is a true respite from the business of life. (It's a nice home too!)

This was a spectacular romantic getaway! We came here after our wedding and could have asked for a better place. The private secluded location on Lake michigan was wonderful, peaceful and romantic. The views were amazing along with the sunsets while relaxing in the hot tub. We came up here for the fall colors aswell and were not disappointed! We took a long ride up the cost and the colrs were amazing! We would recomnd this place to Midwest Living magizine all the quant towns along the lake were ideal for shopping and the food at the resturansts was excellent. I highly recomend staying here! We will definetly be back!!
Owner response:We hope others like Mike and Candy will consider our home when looking for a quiet getaway.

We had a wonderful time at this place called "Heaven" by it's owner. The house was well maintained and clean. The owner left explicit instructions on how to use the hot tub and other amenities. The view out the picture window was awesome of Lake Michigan. It was so cool to just have to walk down some stairs and be right there on Lake Michigan. Having direct access to the beach is what attracted us to this property. We really enjoyed the hot tub, walking along the beach and the sun room. The community of Manistee seemed very friendly and we enjoyed sightseeing and shopping in the downtown district. I appreciated using the washer and dryer when a clothes emergency occurred. It being there prevented me from having to by new clothes. The owner is very flexible and understanding when minor accidents occur... like breaking a glass, etc. I also appreciated the eat-in kitchen and dishwasher, which made things very easy. I would definitely recommend this property to family and friends and know that we most probably will revisit in the future.

We had a very relaxing and quiet Columbus Day weekend. Away from all that traffic and noises, we really enjoyed this quiet setting away from everything. The weather was beautiful and we only met one person over the weekend at the beach. We also loved the sunroom which heated up during the day so we could sit all evening long there and play some board games. Thank you to the house owners for letting us stay at their wonderful house !

This home is truly "heaven on earth". The views of the lake are breathtakinly beautiful. You can see a gorgeous sunset almost every night from the comfort of your very own deck overlooking the beach as well. Completely relaxing and wonderful. We will stay at this home again!

For four years in a row we have spent our summer vacation here and we absolutely love it! The house is extremely comfortable and very nice, the lake view is absolutely amazing, and the town of Manistee and surrounding cities are so much fun to explore. This it not a 'hustle and bustle' vacation, but an amazing relaxing retreat that we've enjoyed with family and friends. If you are considering a vacation on Lake Michigan, I would highly recommend this venue with a deck, hot tub and beach view that is definitely worth every penny.

What a great house! We fell in love with it & hope to book again in the fall. The weather wasn't very good, rain & cold, but the kitchen was great, our meals were excellent & the view was awesome. We did get in the hot tub briefly. And I saw 6-8 deer along the side of the house when I went out to the car Mon morning. They must sleep up on that hill, beyond that barrel, because as I watched, 3 more stood up. We all stared at one another for a few minutes, but they didn't run til I opened the car door. Neat! I'll get back to you soon about the fall, as I can see we have to book soon. Thanks Janet
