Cozy Cabin on Lake Manistee

Great stay - clean and just as described.

We really enjoyed our trip here! It was the perfect getaway!

We had another great stay at the log cabin on Lake Manistee. The lake checks all the boxes—quiet enough for kayaking, great swimming with a solid sandy bottom, and good fishing too. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of space for everyone, especially with the large loft. One of our favorite parts was spending hours on the porch overlooking the lake, playing cards and just relaxing. Highly recommend.

Truly a very nice cozy cabin. Peaceful location. Upstairs area is a great space for kids. Nice sandy lake bottom, dock, and kayaks for hours of fun in the water. Ample yard space for kids to play catch or kick around a ball. Firepit for smores in the evening. Great sunset views over the lake. Responsive and polite owners. Convenient location for various day trips to Traverse City, Torch Lake, Mackinac Island, etc. Easy drive to town for groceries. A great place to get away for a week.

Great place to relax. Super clean and well maintained. Would stay again

The property was very good for our family needs. Clean cabin, quiet, nice sandy lake bottom. It was a hot week and the lack of A/C was an inconvenience, even with the light breeze. Most everything worked fine but there were a few minor issues at the start that the property manager (PM) dealt with in fairly short order. A few things we did not mention to the PM included: gas stove which did not light regularly without a separate lighter, poor quality box fans, upstairs TV did not work (we did not really need it). Note: the Slate walk-way steps leading into the lake were washed out/broken and very unstable/unsafe. The PM said that would take care of that. There are steps to the water from the dock. The water around the dock ranges from 1 to 3/4 feet so perfect for small or children and older. Note 2: there is vertical iron post, like an anchor stem, just below the water surface beyond and to the south of the end of the dock which could seriously damage a boat. We tied a floating milk jug to it as a marker but it won't last long.

Property was beautiful and very clean. One thing threw us off was that I asked about the dock in the listing photo, and they said that dock was not theirs. So, we just sat on the lawn in front. On the last day when our daughter, grandson, and son-in-law came up the very sweet lady next door said the dock on the right comes with the property. I wish that someone had let us know that. We would have enjoyed it even more. With that said we would rent this cottage again and maybe rent a boat or a pontoon. Thank you!

The cabin was very nice and location was great will definitely consider staying again in the future!!!

This cabin was nice and clean and right on the lake.

My husband and I made our second 2023 trip to Manistee Lake in Sept. This cabin is small, but it can accommodate lots of people with the multiple sleeping arrangements in the loft. We had a couple crappy days of weather, but we’re still able to get out fishing and enjoy the lake. The neighbors were great! Our only reservation was that the shower/tub is a very narrow, tall, claw foot configuration - made us nervous.
