    Such a great place to stay. They had all the amenities we needed. Was so fun seeing the ice on Lake Michigan. We would definitely stay again when we are in the area. Place was clean and quite honestly, just like the pictures which is rare. If you are questioning it, just reserve it... you will love it. Host answered any questions I had and alerted us to someone coming to shovel.

    Absolutely AMAZING! The house is gorgeous and very clean. The view of Lake Michigan from the front window is speechless. This house is located close to everything Manistee has to offer. The owners were very nice and quick to respond to any questions we had. This was our first stay in Manistee and won’t be our last at this house. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience.

    Nicely decorated house right across the street from the beach. Pickle ball, volleyball, playground, beach concession all across the street. Private firepit in the yard. Plenty of outdoor seating to relax and eat meals. We had 4 adults and 3 children and there was plenty of room for us all.

    This place is pretty rad! Great location. This was our second time renting this property. The property manager seemed a bit uptight this second time around and the beds are extremely uncomfortable. Other than those two things, it was great!

    Beautiful home, spacious for a friends get together. Steps away from the beach and lighthouse. Spectacular views from large windows and outdoor seating. Property owner very responsive to questions. We had a wonderful time relaxing and taking in the sites and downtown area. Can’t wait to come back!

    We went to Manistee for the Century Boat Club Show held every September. This was our first visit to Michigan and we didn’t want to stay in a Hotel. This place exceeded our expectations! Nicer than shown in pictures and the host provides amenities, beach towels, beach chairs, and other items for a day at the beach! Location is awesome! Enjoy the beach during the day and beautiful sunsets in the evening. Close to River St for dining and shopping. Highly recommend!

    Amazing clean house, in a perfect spot right across from the beach. The house was perfect for a family gathering, it was clean, well stocked, and plenty of space for six adults. We will definitely stay here again!
