About this property

Lake Bluffs Farmhouse

Enjoy traveling back in time to this large 1936 farm house. The house is owned by a non-profit group tasked with restoring it to its former glory. It sits on a bluff over Lake Michigan and is a part of preservation land, including the largest Giant Sequoia outside of California. The property and plant life are open for public observation. Your house will be private to your group only. You can walk to the Lake Michigan public beach. Downtown Manistee restaurants are less than 10 minutes away by car. Easy access to US-31 and M-22. Arcadia Bluffs Golf Course, Little River Casino, Crystal Mountain Resort are close by. This beautiful house is in the first stage of restoration. Its clean and spacious, but your stay will help us with future needed renovations and improvements and it is priced accordingly.

I respect what they are trying to do here... use the rentals to help pay for updates.... but they could add a few things. They also need to update their write up about the rental to add some of the things they do have, as brought stuff we didn't need to bring and didn't bring things we assumed would be there. For example, there is a TV now, and on VRBO it says there is not, but there is wifi. We packed a projector with us to watch the World Cup, which we did not need. The grounds are very beautiful, but there are a lot of public visitors- most respect the private areas... but not all. We came home a group was eating lunch on the patio, it was weird. It would also be helpful if they left a book about how to operate things, like the heat. The biggest issue was getting in. We had the wrong directions sent to us, then when we arrived around 6pm we could not get in and it took sometime to contact the host. After that, we never heard anything from the host, which is fine, but even when we checked out, we weren't sure what they wanted us to do? Start laundry? Pull sheets? Overall, beautiful property, just needs a little fine tuning.
