About this property

Downtown home blocks to the beach w/ king bed, deck fire pit & air conditioning

Our home in Manistee is a 1900’s historic charmer with original floors, historic features, fans in rooms, and a large private deck to watch the sunset, making your visit #morethanvacation.

The apartment offers one studio-style bedroom with a king-size bed, a living room with a convertible couch bed, a fully furnished kitchen, a newly renovated bathroom, a washer and dryer and a large deck with seating and a fire pit for lounging outside with a cool local beverage enjoying the great Michigan weather.

Our home is fully furnished to make your stay easier while you are on vacation or on work assignment in Northern Michigan. You will find bath towels, linens, and soaps to wash off all those sandy moments from Lake Michigan. Basic cleaning supplies like trash bags or paper products (toilet paper, tissues) have been thoughtfully provided too! We provide coffee and tea to make mornings better. The kitchen has enough cooking tools that'll help you enjoy a pleasant meal after exploring this beautiful town we love, Historic Manistee.

Guests have exclusive access to the second-floor apartment, with a private entrance area, apartment deck, and street parking in front of the home.

**Please note: This apartment is located on the second floor of the home so guests must be comfortable climbing a full flight of stairs with their luggage and must agree to quiet hours to respect our downstairs guests.

The entire house includes a 3 bedroom rental with a separate entrance & yard access/ deck available for booking, too. Please reach out to me directly if you are interested in available dates for both spaces.

This home is perfect for a laid-back couple or a few friends who don’t mind a squeaky floorboard, no dishwasher (we do have a disposal :) and who are comfortable with historic imperfection. If these things bother you or any of your guests, there are other great places to stay in Manistee :)
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We enjoyed our stay here - the property is clean, sunny, and comfortable. It's an easy walk to downtown in a quiet neighborhood, and 30 minutes drive to the Arcadia mountain bike trail. The host was easy to communicate with. We would stay here again!

It's like a little hideaway after a full day on the beach. Make a meal, enjoy the fire pit on the deck and watch the stars come out. Then, sleep soundly in the quiet comfort of a king bed.
