Private Beach & Stairs, Year-Round Hot Tub, & Unmatched Views of Lake Michigan!

Spring 2026: April 9-May 3, May 6-19
Fall 2026: Sept. 11-14, Sept 28 - October 18, Oct.24-On

*Summer 2026 is fully booked with no openings. We just opened a new property ‘Paradise Shores’ that is next door and sleeps 12. This property has availability as it just was listed!)

Welcome to MANISTEE’S HEAVEN! This waterfront, ranch home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and is more than a cabin or cottage... it is a real Lake Michigan paradise! Enjoy the 3 season sunroom, great Hickory Kitchen, living room with 55" Roku tv (with cable), a Master bedroom with remodeled attached bath - plus 2 other bedrooms, one with a queen and the 3rd with a queen and twin bunks. NEW in 2024, guests will be able to enjoy a NEW expanded master shower, NEW living room furniture, NEW outdoor deck, and NEW well, roof, and skylights. Best of all, you will enjoy a NEW PRIVATE (year-round) HOT TUB overlooking Lake Michigan! Lastly, there's no need to be concerned about ever losing power, as a whole-house generator was installed in 2023.

While at MANISTEE’S HEAVEN, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a bonfire at your private fire pit - just steps from the house. Can you think of a better ending to a day than watching the sun set or stars appear - all while roasting marshmallows over the campfire?

With 60 steps down to the beach and resting spots along the way, this brand new staircase (installed March of 2022) is a rare Lake Michigan asset! In addition to the stairs, we have a deeded walk-out private beach WITH NO STEPS that can easily be accessed by car or foot - just one driveway to the north.

Want more excitement... gear up for river trips, charter fishing, world-class golf, casino excitement, an airplane ride, or visiting the largest giant sequoia east of the Rocky Mountains (just two minutes away). With all there is to do - or not do - this will be the spot you will want to return to again and again.

In the event of winter travel, guests should drive an all-wheel or 4-wheel-drive vehicle as the driveway is steep and can be icy even after being plowed.

Additionally, the property allows up to three house-trained dogs. The cost to bring dogs along is $20/day per small dog (less than 50 lbs) or $30/day per large dog (50 lbs or more).

Here are a few reviews:

- "We visit Disney World quite often and St Pete Beach. My kids said Heaven is better. Perfection. My only regret is I didn’t book another trip for this summer before all the dates were taken."

- "This property is amazing! The views from the yard and the deck overlooking the water are stunning."

- "Absolutely amazing. The pictures from this listing do not do it justice. The home was very clean and beautiful. Everything you could need was already there. Felt like home. The property was equally amazing. Breathtaking view from almost any spot inside and out."
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We loved the property and the privacy it provided for our family. We definitely give the place a 5* rating. This was our first time on the Lake and in this part of the country and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved the view (the sunsets were breathtaking), the private beach, the stairway to the beach with sitting areas, and the proximity to the area. It was a wonderful space for our family to gather and enjoy each other’s company.

We had the most enjoyable 5 day stay at this house. Everything about it was perfect for us. We have stayed at many VRBO rentals and by far this house exceeded all of them. It sits on a bluff overlooking beautiful Lake Michigan and the view is amazing. The living room, kitchen, three season room all have great views of the lake.The house was immaculate, nicely decorated and had comfortable furniture. It's laid out like your typical ranch so every living space is on one level.The kitchen was amazing, honestly the best stocked kitchen we have ever seen. We usually make all our meals so there was nothing that was lacking for preparing meals. Now for some of the best parts: Located outside on a raised platform is a modern hot tub. For our old bones it was heaven and we used it every day. It was very clean and easy to operate. The view from the hot tub is awesome. We saw some great sunsets here. It's also very private. There is a building next door but it has a large garage and a 6ft fence fence separating both properties which completely blocks the view of the tub and patio area.Also outside is an overlook deck at the top of the staircase leading down to the beach. Here you have an unobstructed view of the lake. Perfect spot for a glass of wine at the end of the day. There are about 60 steps down and it's steep.The staircase is solid and well built. We walked the beach in the morning and never saw anyone. We plan on coming back soon.

About the host

Hosted by Abby and Kyle Weener

Host profile image
Our family loves working with individuals at our residential and vacation properties. Kyle works as an elementary/middle school principal and I play for a number of symphonies - as a violinist. Since 2015, we have operated a number of rental properties and a real estate brokerage in Michigan. It is our joy to serve the needs of others through the realm of real estate!

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! When we first visited the property, it took us almost an hour to make it inside the home as we were captivated by the views, beach, and everything this home has to offer!

What makes this property unique

Some unique benefits include: an expansive overlook deck, hot tub, unobstructed views of Lake Michigan, rural setting - yet 10 minutes out from downtown Manistee, and a home in excellent condition!
