Eagle's Nest - Lake Michigan Private Beach & Year-Round Hot Tub! Manistee, MI

Summer 2026 - Fully Booked
Fall 2026: Sept. 7-11, 20-24, 27-Oct. 1, Oct. 12-15, 18-22, 24-On
Winter/Spring 2027 - New Open!
Summer 2027 - Inquire to get more information!

Welcome to Eagles’ Nest! This highly acclaimed 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath and amenity-rich Lake Michigan vacation home, boasts private stairs to a beautiful beach on Lake Michigan! With 80 steps to Lake Michigan’s shores and a recently added seawall, this is one of a few homes that have an accessible, beautiful beach!

Outside, you will enjoy a year-round private hot tub built into a wrap-around deck, a pergola overlooking unforgettable sunsets, hiking on 140 acres of marked trails, NEW living room furniture, outdoor furniture, grilling options (gas & charcoal), watching the wildlife (including six area mature bald eagles - which were recently featured on a PBS documentary), and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs. Note: BRAND NEW Bedroom Furniture in 2026 (not pictured yet)!

Inside, you will enjoy a thoroughly clean and tastefully updated home that features beautiful cabinetry, a well-stocked kitchen, new carpets, plenty of activities for a getaway, two 55” TVs with cable, three bedrooms, and one additional common sleeping area with two beds and a bunk bed. With a fantastic cleaner, we often are told the home is the cleanest rental property guests have ever stayed at. With all of the amenities, capacity for this vacation home is eight adults and children. Please note the home is PET-FREE and the indoor fireplace is not available due to insurance reasons.

If you are not enjoying the lake, hot tub, or the beautiful colors (especially in the fall), downtown Manistee and Ludington are not far out of reach. With access to fishing charters, golfing at Manistee National or Arcadia Bluffs, skiing at Crystal Mountain, or exploring the Manistee National Forest, Northern Michigan has it all!

As you will see in our reviews, guests most often comment about their love for Lake Michigan, the broad amenities at the home, the abundance of wildlife/nature, the exceptional cleanliness, and great communication!

Come and see for yourself why Eagle’s Nest is a perfect place for a family getaway, anniversary trip, or reason to use a few vacation days. We’re looking forward to hosting you!

Home is charmingly situated, we had great weather and even if we hadn’t the view from the house is spectacular by itself. The steps to the beach will keep you in shape and the beach itself is private and beautiful. Multiple sunsets were watched, from the comfort of a couch or even hot tub in the evenings.

My family and I had an amazing visit here. The property was exactly like the pictures, and was beautiful to sit on the shore. The host did a great job communicating with us and making sure to address anything we brought up swiftly. The home was clean and tidy, and there were a lot of amenities that were available to use (including inside and outside). Only thing I would note is that the backyards in the property are pretty open with the neighbors incase you wanted to know that in advance. Otherwise, everything was great (including us spotting the eagle(s)!!)

Our family enjoyed this cozy getaway during our Thanksgiving break. The house was stocked with everything we needed. The view was gorgeous. And the location was perfect, between Manistee and Ludington, which made for the ideal day trips to support small businesses over the holiday weekend. Although we typically visit Lake Michigan during the summer to enjoy the water and warm days, our snowy adventure was a nice change and this cottage offered all the amenities to make our time away relaxing and enjoyable.

About the host

Hosted by Kyle & Abby Weener

Host profile image
Our family loves sharing our Manistee properties with others! Kyle works as an elementary principal and I play for a number of Midwest symphonies - as a violinist. Since 2015, we have operated a number of rental properties and a real estate brokerage in Michigan. As a young family (our kids are 5, 1, and a newborn), we know the joy it brings our family and are thrilled when we get to share it with others from around the world!

Why they chose this property

Growing up in Michigan, our family treasured great memories vacationing in the Manistee area. It is our joy to now share this experience with others! Eagle's Nest is one of a few homes along the lakeshore that has beautiful upgrades, strong amenities (a hot tub - to name one), a private beach with steps to Lake Michigan, tremendous nature - including bald eagle's that live next to the property, and a location close to downtown Manistee and not far from Ludington!

What makes this property unique

Some unique benefits include: a beautiful wrap around deck, year-round hot tub, views of Lake Michigan, and rural setting - yet 10 minutes out from downtown Manistee, 15 minutes to Little River Casino, and 25 minutes to Arcadia Bluffs. Don't forget about the hiking trails across the street, fire pit, tons of outdoor furniture, and a home that is in excellent condition!
