About the host
Hosted by Trevor & Laurie Weaver
We are lifelong Michigan residents, and we truly believe there is no better place to live and to vacation! When we're not working in southwest Michigan we're in Manistee, walking the beaches and breathing the fresh lake air. We're excited to share our cottage with you!
Why they chose this property
This property has a lake view without the beachfront price. Access to the lake is within a few hundred feet. Private neighborhood water access points-- you'll likely have your sunset view entirely to yourself! And yet, it's a 7 minute drive to town. It's the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
Manistee is a quiet beachfront town that goes unnoticed by many. The numerous public beaches are uncrowded and FREE. Charming Victorian downtown with a riverwalk and a drawbridge where you can watch yachts and freighters come in. Fireworks over Lake Michigan on the 4th of July, and a Victorian Christmas parade in the winter. Fish the many rivers/ lakes, ski Caberfae, or, better yet, stay put in your beachside home. Our cottage is unique in that it offers you access to a secluded stretch of Lake Michigan, without the lakefront price. The public beaches are nice, but a secluded beach across the street is even better!
