About this property

A FALL GETAWAY to fall for! Discounts!

Bring Family and Friends. Come and spend a week or more in northern Michigan. Experience the lull of the lake, experience the howling winds of the west, experience the setting of the sun, experience the smooth and soothing beaches of Lake Michigan. WOW! Such experiences are breathtaking! The Little River Casino is 10 miles away. There are many restaurants and exciting sites nearby. This is a full home which is connected to the main house but completely private, a private driveway and a private entrance. The deck has a patio table with 4 chairs. There is a full kitchen with a glass top cook stove, a refrigerator, and dishwasher. There is also a washer and dryer. This unit has an open floor plan with a dining area and a living room area that has a queen size futon. There are 2 bedrooms. One with a queen size bed and the other with 2 twin beds. There is a TV and a fireplace. A bistro table with two chairs are situated so you can look out and see the woods and the lake. The bathroom has a glass shower door with beautiful tile. A Keurig is also available so bring your favorite K-cups, or use a regular coffee maker. There is also a wall mounted flat screen TV that has Roku. WiFi is available. The water level is high which has moved out much sand exposing old sea walls. The water is great for swimming. We have 200' of lake frontage. However, due to the storm in October, 2019, much of our beach has been eroded. We now have a seawall with large boulders to stabilize our bluff. There are steps that lead to the beach area. Beyond our neighbors beach area, you can lay/sit on the beach. The Manistee Public Beach is about 5 miles away. You can enjoy an evening dining on the deck and experiencing a spectacular sunset. Since all the amenities are here, we are asking for a minimum 5 day stay. Bring the family, bring another couple, or just come and enjoy Lake Michigan on your own.

We enjoyed our stay. The area was quiet and peaceful. The cottage was well stocked with paper supplies etc. We could have used some extra bath and kitchen towels. The beds were comfortable. Sitting on the futon was uncomfortable. I would have preferred a sofa with an ottoman. Big TV was fantastic.

Manistee Vacation
Brought my girlfriend and 2 daughters (9 and 5) for a relaxing getaway. The place was excellent and just as described. Beach access was the main draw but downtown and public beaches were great as well. We would absolutely come back!

Beautiful getaway
I took my children and mother for a stay and we were blown away by the amazing view! We all had a blast and loved that the property is hidden within the forest as we all love nature! The lake was crystal clear and beautiful we had a relaxing time walking along the beach. The property owner was very friendly and helpful. The rental property was very clean. We overall enjoyed everything about this propety location and I will absolutely book this property again in the future. If you are looking for an amazing lake front property this is it !

About the host

Hosted by Shirley Madden

Host profile image
My husband and I were educators in the Detroit Public School System. He was a school principal. I was a school counselor (K-12). I received my Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and have worked in several universities. We have now retired and enjoy traveling to various countries of the world.

Why they chose this property

In 1999, we were both working but we fell in love with this property because it is one level and it sits right on Lake Michigan. Since we've retired we have made several changes on the property. We have added a two car garage and living quarters above the garage. This is a cozy and comfortable 2 bedroom unit that we call, The "Viewtiful."

What makes this property unique

We also have a beautiful deck with a patio set where you can sit outside and enjoy a meal while you watch a beautiful sunset over Lake Michigan. Nothing can take your breath away like a spectacular sunset. That's what made us decide this is what we want to do in our retirement.
