While the location was nice and generally quiet and the place was large enough to accommodate a group of 10 easily, the place definitely needs a deep clean and some maintenance. The beds and bedrooms felt mostly clean and comfy and the furnishings were ample for hangouts. The right half had a musty smell and I'm sensitive to that but was okay with sleeping on the left side. Many bulbs were burnt and switches hard to find, but the lamps helped. The newer bathroom vent fan did not work and had mold growth and lots of cobwebs, and would recommend a clear shower curtain as the brown one made it very dark in the shower. The worst part was the main kitchen. Most of the dishes were very dirty and there was a lot of mouse droppings under the kitchen sink. We ended up deep cleaning a few pots and pans for our use and buying paper and plastic ware and cups to eat off of. Also, the main door(slider) had no way of locking, it was hard for kids and older people to close it and came off the tracks several times while we were there. We told the hosts about this and they said they were trying to find a solution, but it won't likely be addressed during the peak season. Since they were keeping an eye on the entry for us and we needed to leave some expensive medication there when out fir the day, I didn't feel comfortable letting them know about the other problems. The hosts were super nice and full of info and the space in the accommodation is great for a large group or family. While the family enjoyed our time together, I think the overall consensus is we would find somewhere else next time just because of the cleanliness and maintenance issues. The guys did have a good time exploring the fishing areas and the gals the beaches. Not much else to do around Manistee and phone and internet service are scarce there, but that's what we were looking for. Otherwise relaxing spot, but don't forget the bug spray!
