Beautiful location with an awesome view of Lake Michigan. House is a little outdated. So you are paying for the view. Plenty of room for the seven of us. Unfortunately, the community access to the beach was damaged in April by severe rains and not availble to us.

Lots of Room and a Great View

Our family group enjoyed our time here, especially the great sunsets and proximity to beaches and scenery. The house is getting old, and there are some places where it needs updating, but it had plenty of space for all of us, and we had a good experience!

Great summer retreat rental

The location was excellent with access to the beach. The house was a little outdated but the view made up for that. Lower level where kids bunk beds were was cold. I would rent again for sure.

August Stay in Manistee

Location is great. Very near Manistee, short drive to other places we wanted to go. The views of Lake Michigan from the home and decks were amazing. The bedroom/bed layout is great, kids in bunk room, adults in their own rooms. The linens were nice and plentiful. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking/baking equipment. We would stay there again, really enjoyed our time there.

Great location and size

This was a great house for family from Minnesota and Michigan to get together and hang out. Those who wanted to hike, canoe and go to the beach had easy access to those things. Those who wanted to read or just look out at the water had a great time too. Plenty of room for everyone.

Relaxing house with a Great Lake view

This house was very comfortable for our group. Enough comfortable beds for everyone! Nice amount of spaces (like a living room upstairs and down) for smaller groups. Lovely back yard with lovely views of the lake. Would definitely rent again.

Beautiful Lake Michigan view!

We (3 couples and 4 kids) all had a wonderful stay! Spacious home with plenty of room for everyone and views of Lake Michigan from nearly every room. Awesome decks and yard, large well-stocked kitchen, and the kids loved having the finished walkout basement (where the 4th bedroom / bunk room is located) all to themselves. The only drawback to this house was that although it’s on the coast and has gorgeous lake views, it’s on a steep wooded bluff and there’s no access to the beach. If there were stairs or a way to access the beach, this house would be 6 stars!

Great View

Great view of Lake Michigan from the property. Property was clean and comfortable. Close to downtown Manistee and several dining options. North Shore Brewing is highly recommended. We also went on a tour of the Iron Fish distillery, which wasn’t too far away. Overall a relaxing getaway.

Family Reunion

My brothers and sisters and I, along with some nieces, nephews, and grandchildren, met here in Manistee and had a great time. The house is well laid out for a multiple family gathering. The kitchen is spacious and very convenient for several cooks. And with a deck or patio outside every door, there is never a shortage of beautiful views. I highly recommend this place.

Amazing View!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and inviting. You cannot beat the view of Lake Michigan. The neighborhood was quiet and enjoyable to walk around. Our kids were able to keep up with their online schooling because of the great wifi and roomy accommodations. We appreciated the gas fireplace and were able to turn on and use the furnace when it got chilly with no issues.

Lovely Home, Incredible Views!

We loved this house, the location and the view looking out on Lake Michigan was stunning! The kitchen was spacious and well equipped. The lake could be viewed from almost every room. We enjoyed bonfires and the deck overlooking the lake. Perfect place to stay in Manistee!!
