“Our family had a wonderful stay! The backyard offered great amenities, and having both an upstairs and downstairs living room made it especially convenient with little ones. The location in downtown Manistee was amazing, and the space overall was very comfortable and family-friendly. Thank you to our host for making everything so welcoming and easy!”

Great Manistee getaway

Had a great time with our family at this property for a few days. Marcus was a great host, very responsive and was kind enough to check in the morning of day 2 to make sure everything was going well and there wasn’t anything we needed. Property was clean and as advertised in the photos, the provided coffee from the local coffee shop was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend this property!

This house was perfect for a growing family get together. It has everything you could think of in the kitchen, bathrooms, etc. They have really thought of everything to make your stay feel like home. I had everything I needed for 3 days with my adult kids and grandkids. They had special added touches like blankets, games, toys, plenty of plates, utensils, and towels. We loved our stay and hope to be back in the warmer months to enjoy the back yard. Looks just like pictures and very clean.

Great place

Renovations very nice. Clean. Lots of space. Close walking distance to downtown. Neighboring homes/streets a touch rundown but beyond home owner control. Very prompt responses and accommodating! Would stay again!

Exceptional property and host

We absolutely loved this property. The location was close to downtown and beaches. The property was very clean and family friendly, with lots of toys for kids and games for adults. Loved the firepit, grill, and eating outside on the spacious deck. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked with nearly everything you need to prepare meals. Our host was extremely accomodating and very responsive. Our only complaint is only having 2 bathrooms, and being close to downtown, it could be a little noisy at times.

Thanks, Andrew! We’re glad you had a good time. We apologies about the construction outside that occurred during your stay. They were working on the bridge across the street. They’re all finished now!

Beautiful renovated home close to Downtown

The house was perfect being so close and within walking distance to the Downtown plus everything that is going on in Manistee. The house was beautifully renovated with plenty of space for all 4 of us with two adults and two teenagers. With it being pet friendly also, it was just like being able to stay at home. The deck out back was a gorgeous place to relax at night with the comfortable patio furniture and the propane outdoor fireplace - we were even able to get the kids away from their electronics. Highly recommend this rental and will try to book it again in the future.

Perfect location for friends trip!

We booked this cute home for our annual friends trip/beach volleyball tournament weekend. We had a large group - 13 adults and this fit us very comfortably. Lots of space to spread out and still feel like you have some privacy in a home with 13 people! Beds were clean and comfortable. Plenty of pillows and blankets and seating options! Quick walk to the beach and the bars. Yummy brewery right across the street. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, bowls, etc. Very convenient! We would definitely stay here again!

Property was well maintained and equipped. We had everything we needed. We loved having dinners on the back deck. The place was conveniently located, very near downtown Manistee and a quick drive (or nice walk) to Lake Michigan.
