About the host

Hosted by Carmen Veurink

Host profile image
I am a West Michigan native. I love having four seasons (although I wish winter was shorter and summer is my favorite). I live in Spring Lake and love living so close to Lake Michigan. I enjoy reading, traveling, and coffee. I love spending time outdoors with my family – my husband, two sons, and a dog named Charlie. We enjoy hiking, biking, boating, and going to the beach.

Why they chose this property

We love being close to the channel, beach, and downtown. Manistee is such a fun town to visit! It's a great jumping off point for Northern Michigan.

What makes this property unique

What I love about this house is that it fits multiple families who want to share a vacation together! The kids room is so fun for friends or cousins to hang out in. Why choose a hotel when you can share a home? It is very cozy and comfortable.
