My sisters and cousin and I found our experience at The Eagle's Nest to be welcoming, fun, and comfortable. The home was clean, well-stocked had plenty of space, bedrooms, wall hooks, and privacy to accommodate 5 adults. (Loved having the half-bath in the basement, btw.) We woke to a beautiful view of Lake Michigan, listened to the steady sound of crashing waves, and took in stunning sunsets.
The place had a warm, inviting energy, like staying at a friend's house. There were comfy blankets and soft lighting for an intimate feel. It felt bigger and flowed better than the pictures show. Everything was in working order and it had a fully-equipped kitchen. Extras like batteries, teas, night lights were available. The large dining table seated six comfortably. We took advantage of the extensive board games available, the wide selection of books, and were impressed by the Disney movie collection. WiFi was strong and the majority had cell service (AT&T was spotty, Verizon was solid). The hot tub was a nice feature, clean and easy to operate. The fire pit was large, the outdoor shower was useful, and the tree swing was a hit.
The owners had a thorough welcome guide with the best layout of any rental I’ve stayed at. We hiked areas within 50 miles every day. Charming Manistee was close, has grocery stores, and a seasonal ‘Ghost Ship’ that 2 of us attempted.
Thank you, Abby and Kyle, for opening your lovely home to renters!
