Family vacation

Every year we head up to Manistee for a Fourth of July family vacation. This year we decided to stay farther out of town than normal. The place was wonderful and isolated and offered a completely different vibe than staying in or near the city.

This property worked out great for us. It was close to the 3 golf courses we played during our stay and provided the perfect view to relax with a cold one after the rounds. Plenty of room for 9 old college buddies to hangout and reminisce in the house, out on the deck, or around the fire pit. Would do it again!

Wonderful home with a stunning bluff view of Lake Michigan! The large house with the well stocked kitchen and many amenities make it very accommodating. The deck off of the back has a gorgeous view and it is gated so small children can play safely while adults enjoy the perfect Lake Michigan sunsets. The campfire spot is very picturesque overlooking the lake. There is plenty of sleeping room and hang out space throughout the house. We loved it and will definitely return! Highly recommend!!!

We had a great time in this Manistee home on Lake Michigan. The sunset and lake views were gorgeous, the beach access was excellent, and the quiet neighborhood was welcoming. This home is under new management, and they are well on their way to making the necessary changes and fixes to get the house up to a five-star rating.

Plenty of space indoors and out for our extended family. Beautiful view from the deck and enough seating to eat on the deck or go inside if it’s raining. The upstairs bedrooms were uncomfortably hot for a couple of days/nights, but the overall experience compensating for that. The beach was great for rock-hunting, lazing back with a book and/or watching for eagles (which we saw every day). We’re looking forward to returning next year!

Everything was wonderful except the grill needed a good scrubbing, the brush to clean the grill was awful! The construction next door started too early, 8:30 but we were gone most of the day so our evenings were very nice! The kitchen was stocked and labeled nicely! The view was spectacular! The family staying there with us were from Berlin, Germany and they really enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic Stay

Spent a few days here with the family. House is beautiful and kitchen has everything you need. Kids loved roasting s’mores on the fire. Fantastic view of Lake Michigan. Took a polar plunge which was refreshing. Owners were excellent hosts with timely and helpful communication. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Mike and Tammy

Host profile image

We love creating a space where families and groups can slow down, reconnect, and experience everything that makes a Lake Michigan getaway special. Whether it’s spending the day on the beach, enjoying sunset dinners on the deck, gathering around after a long day on the water, or simply relaxing with coffee overlooking the lake, this home was designed for making memories together.

Hosting has been incredibly rewarding because every group experiences the property a little differently. Some come for golf weekends, others for family vacations, beach trips, fishing excursions, or peaceful escapes from busy schedules. We wanted this home to feel warm, welcoming, spacious, and comfortable for every kind of stay.

Why they chose this property

This area offers the perfect balance of peaceful lakefront living and convenient access to everything guests love about Manistee. The private sandy beach, breathtaking Lake Michigan sunsets, and quiet surroundings make it feel relaxing and secluded, while downtown shops, restaurants, breweries, golf courses, and marinas are still just a short drive away.

The natural beauty here is what truly makes it special. From beach walks and boating in the summer to colorful fall scenery and cozy lake views year round, there’s something calming and memorable about being right on the water

What makes this property unique

What makes this property stand out is the rare combination of direct Lake Michigan frontage, private sandy beach access, panoramic sunset views, and space for large groups to gather comfortably together.

The massive waterfront deck is one of the home’s best features, offering incredible views of Lake Michigan and the perfect place for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or watching the sunset over the water each evening. Inside, the home features three levels of living space, oversized lake facing windows, multiple gathering areas, and comfortable sleeping arrangements that work well for families, reunions, and group vacations.

Many properties offer lake views, but very few combine this much space, private beach access, and a true Northern Michigan lakefront experience all in one place.
