About this property

Huge historic on Lake Michigan w/ large yard, fire pit, BBQ & air conditioning

Our home is a 1900’s historic charmer with updates for everyone (yep, air conditioning, high speed-wifi & big tv ;). Play games in our large backyard or finished basement, and is walking distance to the beach or restaurants - staying here is #morethanvacation.

Guests have exclusive access to enjoy the house (on one level), partial basement, back deck, and backyard area. *Note: The entire house has a separate one-bedroom apartment with a separate entrance & a deck available for booking. Reach out to me if you are interested in both areas.

Situated in a cute, historic neighborhood in downtown Manistee that’s easy and safe to walk with well-lit sidewalks, everyone around is so kind you'll think you are in the deep south. You are blocks away from 5th street beach, downtown Manistee and the canal for big-ship and drawbridge viewing :)
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
