We had a lovely stay. We were a multigenerational party of 5, and I was a little worried that we would be cramped with only two bedrooms, but the listing said it slept 6, and I went for it because the activities/location seemed ideal. We fit with no problem -- we had one on the pullout couch. It's close to the river walk and beach, and the pools (indoor and outdoor) were a hit with the kids. There were beach toys to use in the closet, which was a nice touch. I thought we would walk to the beach a lot, but the nicer beaches are about a 10 min drive away. They're gorgeous and worth the drive. I have only two quibbles, which I shared with the host. First is that while the place seemed spotless when we arrived, the sofa bed was dirty when we pulled it out. We threw out the trash that was on the mattress and found clean sheets and swapped them out. I doubt that will be an issue going forward. Second is that some of the books there for people to read were political, which might not make everyone feel welcome. But those quibbles aside, we had a nice few days in Manistee.
