The property offered plenty of space for us all, and the fenced yard was great for the dog. The owner was friendly and responsive.

Amenities were all as advertised. We enjoyed the fenced yard for our pup. Lots of room. The only thing missing was a can opener, had to borrow one from a relative. Will definitely stay here again

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. We had 9 people total including 2 children and there was plenty of room for us without even having to use the basement bedroom. The home was clean and as advertised. We loved having access to the garage to store fishing and hunting gear near our vehicles. Also, the proximity to town made it very easy to walk to go shopping or eat at the restaurants. We especially loved the dog friendly back yard and spent a lot of time on the patio and had several fire pit evenings. We didn't need anything from the host but when we had a question, Emily was very quick to respond.

We cannot say enough about our stay in Manistee at your wonderful house. Although deceiving from the outside, it looks small but has a ton of room inside. With five bedrooms and eight beds there was plenty of room to roam and the beds were extremely comfortable. We had all the comforts of home and then some. The house was spotless and warm. Our hosts, Emily and Alec were very helpful & only a phone call away & also live in Manistee. They were great with their suggestions of things to do where to eat & places to shop. The downtown area was only a short walk away, and the stores and restaurants were great. There is also a movie theater in town and the Manistee historic theater where we enjoyed going to the Nutcracker one night and meeting the entire cast afterwards. We also enjoyed a five star meal at the Golden Stag which had exceptional food and service. We loved that lake Michigan was only a mile away and enjoyed watching the sunset one evening.Thank you, Emily and Alec for a very fun and memorable time. We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Emily

Host profile image
Hi! Alec and Emily here. We are a local family in Manistee who live a short walk away from your rental, should you need anything during your stay. Alec is an electrical engineer and Emily is a veterinarian who owns her own mobile practice here in Manistee. (So, if you have a pet emergency while on vacation, don’t hesitate to call her!) We have two sweet babies, two dogs, a cat, and some chickens. Some of our favorite hobbies include long-distance running, trail hiking, foraging, fishing and hunting, beaching, cross-country skiing, reading, traveling, painting, and puzzles.

We have traveled the world together and still feel that this is hands-down the BEST place to live. As hosts, we are SO excited to share the beauty of our little town with you! Welcome welcome welcome! We look forward to helping you have the most memorable, FUN, and stress-free vacation possible.

We are more than happy to share details with our guests about our favorite areas for exploring, semi-private beaches, best restaurants, and whatever piques your interest while staying in Manistee.

What makes this property unique

This bungalow of ours is an optical illusion. It is incredible. You can walk by it and think “that’s a cute, little house.” Once you are inside, however, it is not little at all! It nearly seems impossible that so much space exists inside what appears to be a small home. The kitchen is quite spacious, with endless cabinet and counter space, a step-down pantry, and a breakfast island with chairs. Opening up into a large dining room with a table that seats six. The dining room is open-concept with the living room, creating a welcoming atmosphere for dining, relaxing, and conversation amongst large groups. There are three bedrooms on the main floor with enough beds to sleep five people comfortably. There are three beds in the loft, and a queen bed in the full basement. All-in-all, you can sleep eleven individuals in one home and still enjoy plenty of extra space. The layout is convenient for multi-family trips, because each floor provides a separate living space with multiple beds.

Aside from the design, the location of this property is premium. You cannot beat being able to walk into town or spend the day at the beach and not worry about having a long drive home. If you are at the house and decide you want to go catch the sunset on the beach, you only need five minutes to drive there.
