The property was amazing, it was spacious, yet cozy. There was a lot of room for everyone to spread out, and then gather in the large dining/family room making it perfect for family time. The beach was wonderful as well. We were blessed to have the opportunity to see the Northern Lights one night we were there. It was an ideal vacation, can't wait until next year.

Perfect week!
My family and I had the most amazing time at this property. I have been traveling and staying at rental units for 15 years and this was by far the most enjoyable stay. The property had everything we needed and then some, communication with the host was excellent and we felt at home from the moment we arrived. Highly recommended!!

There is so much here that they couldn't fit it in the description. The owner is open and giving of her time, and guidance/tips on the area. I didn't want to leave.

Amazing experience!
The house was so well suited to our family. The beach, right outside the back door, was amazing! We enjoyed swimming in Lake Michigan, watching beautiful sunsets, and bonfires on the beach. It was a wonderful family vacation, and we’ve booked it again for next year! Jill Sperling was very friendly, and attentive to our needs.

Lots of room for all
We had a great week with an extended family of 8 people. We had plenty of room to have puzzles games and reading spaces. The kitchen is really well equipped for people who like to cook and bake. While there is no beach now there are lots of outdoor spaces to enjoy the lake views, and plenty of lawn for outdoor games. Everyone loved the homey feel of the house. The owners were very responsive before and during our visit.

Fantastic Stay!!
Our stay was phenomenal! The house was large enough to accommodate 6 adults and 3 kids with plenty of room to spare. There were plenty of bathrooms and the kitchen was fully stocked with whatever you’d need to prepare a meal. The outside was perfect for yard games and the large, private beach was just steps away. You can’t get any closer to the beach!
We spent our vacation climbing dunes, another rafting and a couple afternoons downtown Manistee for shopping and dinner. The rest of the time was swimming and enjoying the beach.
Jill was so great to work with and so, so very kind. I would highly recommend this place! As a matter of fact, we requested to come back again next year!

great family vacation
We would suggest more paper supplies. We ran out of toilet paper and paper towels. Also, increase the number of washcloths provided. Jill was very accommodating with our every concern. Took prompt action on the ant issue and the dryer, too. Access to the beach was very tricky for senior citizens and small children. I believe new steps are being installed with a new breakwall. Great place for a family vacation.

Absolutely perfect family vacation
Adorable home with plenty of space for our large family of 12. There are 2 large family rooms, and huge dining room table for everyone to eat together. The photos are a little tough to determine the layout but it was perfect for extended families. Everyone had their own space. The home is older, with lots of charm. Beds were incredibly comfortable. The absolute GEM is the property!! Huge well taken care of yard, sandy beaches just about 9 steps down. We rented a kayak, spent lots of time outside. Very very sad our trip was over because this place is MAGIC. One side note that would absolutely not deter our stay, the water in showers and sink, laundry is brownish in color and odor. Well water perhaps? Just make sure to stock up on bottled water and dont bring lightly colored nice clothing or towels. Thank you Jill fir sharing your home with us!!! Memories made!

A little slice of heaven on the lake
Like a lot of VRBO properties I've rented, the pictures have a hard time doing this property justice. I've rented a lot of properties with private beaches over the years, but this one is only 8-steps right off the backyard! Perfect for kids and nice for adults to casually move back and forth between the house and beach. The house sits right on the lake making for spectacular views inside and out. The sunsets are incredible and were an important part of our nightly routine. The lawn is ample with beautiful landscaping. Because the house was added on-to over time, it makes for a nice split if you have multiple families and quiet spaces for little ones. Even with 3 families, it never felt crowded The house is lived in by the owners and that really makes a huge different for providing a comfortable stay. Ample outdoor beach seating, a fully stocked kitchen with proper cooking tools, cleaning supplies, laundry equipment supplies are all just a few example of why this is a difference-maker compared to houses that only host renters.
The area offers access to some great activities like hikes in Arcadia/Sleeping Bear, Portage and Bear Lakes, a blueberry farm and Alpaca farm for the little ones closer to Ludington.

Gorgeous Lake Michigan home
The best place we’ve stayed at in all of our vacations! Although access to the lake was such that you wouldn’t swim there on a wavy day, the private beach, property and home were wonderful! Also a short trip to downtown and other beaches. Very nice owner, too!

Relaxing, quiet, comfortable home on Lake Michigan. Great for family vacations, wonderful kitchen & supplies for those who enjoy cooking, and a beach with a fire pit to end the day enjoying the sunset and the lake.

This house overlooking lake Michigan is comfortable, gorgeous and fun. This is the perfect spot for two families- bedrooms on opposite sides of the house and wonderful kitchen and living room/dining room to gather during the day.

Wonderful Lakefront Property
We escaped the Covid craziness with a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable family stay at Jill's lakefront cottage with our two adult daughters and their husbands. Jill is a wonderful host and she was accessible and accommodating. The cottage itself is charming and well maintained. Everything you need is there, from a well-stocked kitchen to cozy furnishings to beautiful sunsets and cooling breezes. The location is ideal - just north of Manistee. So close enough for shopping, and golf but far enough to feel removed and quiet. Thank you Jill for letting us enjoy your place, the family time together was cathartic and just what we all needed.

The best family vacation ever!!
We rented this lovely lake cottage for a family vacation to celebrate my husband's and my 50th wedding anniversary. It was a fabulous week from swimming and paddle boarding in front of the cottage, trips to the 1st street beach, tether ball tournaments, canoe trips on the Manistee and all out great fun!! I cannot say enough good things about the owner, Jill Sperling. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome and gave us numerous tips on the best beaches, bike trails and how best to navigate the newly constructed sea wall in front of the house. She is just an all out wonderful person!! We will be talking about this vacation for many years. Just sad that it is over and that the time went way too fast!!! We plan to return sometime in the future. The whole family is enamored with the Great Lakes!!!

wonderful all around
This was a perfect place for our two families to spend a fun week. The property is spacious and lovely, with many things to do. The house is charming, well-equipped, and offers many different sleeping options. The location is ideal--peaceful and on the lake but close to public beaches and shopping. Jill, the owner, was incredibly responsive and helpful. She went out of her way to make the week special for our kids and all of us.

We felt complete at home on the lake
We would go back again and for longer than the seven nights we stayed. The house and yard were comfortable and supported our love of cooking. We had two families with kids from 3-13. There were great spaces for us all to be together, for kid zones, and to still find quiet nooks. Loved the games available in the house too. Even better than we expected from the listing.

オーナーについて
オーナー : Jill Sperling
We all love Michigan - Jill grew up in Manistee and then moved to NY in 1985 and then with her husband Skip, to Los Angeles in 1989. Buying this home in 2001 has allowed us to give our children unique summer experiences as Jill had growing up in this beautiful Victorian town. We have been able to spend summers on the shore of Lake Michigan since purchasing this home
The Cottage was built in 1947 and the original space remains the same with a few renovations. As our family grew, and friends started to visit, we enlarged the space to include additional bedrooms and bathrooms. This not only created extra space but special private areas for reading, resting and playing games.
We hope you will enjoy The Cottage and give your families the same summer experiences and form memories as we have.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
Jill grew up in Manistee and loved being on Lake Michigan and enjoyed the beaches all summer long. We wanted a place to get our family out of the city and be close to family and friends during the summer. This is a unique property with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the fresh air, beautiful sunsets and family.
この宿泊施設の特徴
Relaxation, beautiful sunsets, great friends and family near by. The city of Manistee is charming with lovely Victorian storefronts, good food and a beautiful river walk. We love to venture into town, however, we hardly leave the property because we have all we need to keep us relaxed and occupied. There is a swingset, tetherball, and basketball court on the property. Plus lots of wildlife, including deer, eagles, raccoons, lots of birds and sometimes fox. We always have a pet toad and frog show up to catch the knats.
