Beautiful home with comfortable and stylish décor. The views of Lake Michigan are glorious! We enjoyed the deck to read, talk and eat meals. The fire pit was great with lots of seating options. The only hiccup for us was: the refrigerator is quite small (although adorable) for our family of six who did most of our eating at the house. The remedy is simple: the owners have a full sized fridge in the basement where we stored our overflow of food. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of plates, cups, utensils and cookware. The beds are comfortable; we loved the master bedroom with a private deck overlooking the lake. The beach is gorgeous - great sandy area with lots of room to walk in both directions. Fantastic sunsets. This is a great place to stay!
Our expectations for the property were met and exceeded - the house was comfortable and funcitional for 4 adults and 4 kids, wonderful deck and firepit we utilized daily. The beach was truly the icing on the cake, perfect for both adults to sit and chat and upper-elementary kids to splash and play. Very quiet and peaceful, we didn't leave a single time during our 4 night stay!
Great home base for manistee region. Amazing view. Great for families. Free kayaks included. Well stocked kitchen. A bit far from a town so pack everything you need.
The property was clean and had many wonderful updates. The kitchen was nicely stocked with dishes, cookware and many additional utensils for grilling, etc. The bedrooms were cozy and welcoming. We enjoyed the balcony in the main suite and utilized the deck every evening to watch the spectacular sunsets.
everything was great except there was an infestation of some kind of gnats - seemed like fruit flies or something like that. There were thousands of gnats outside and in the kitchen and bathrooms - even the one upstairs. I think it’s a regional / seasonal thing that is out of the owners’ control but it would be nice if they have provided some kind of trap that might have been more effective than the vinegar ones we made. We got swarmed!
Beautiful view, nice deck, plenty of outdoor seating, lovely beach. Cute clean cottage. Kitchen fully stocked. Although it can accommodate 8 people, that would be tight. Having said that, the view is what it’s all about. We had a great time.
This property is way better than the pictures make it out to be. The windows are all very big, and give great views of Lake Michigan from the edge of a high bluff. Take the stairs down to your own strip of the beach. It felt incredibly secluded, and there was seldom anybody else on the beach as far as we could see. Very sandy and clean. The kayaks were awesome. The fire pit was very great, and outdoor table and furniture was perfect! 10/10 Note: if you have a hard time getting up and down steps and want to spend time on the beach or in the lake look elsewhere
The location was perfect and the views were beautiful. Very clean and the perfect place for an unplugged beach vacation. My husband and I stayed with our 23 month old and 4.5 year old. The house was a little tricky with young children but manageable. Stairs to beach have gate with lock which was appreciated. Also the house is in a remote area and we had no cell service and internet was very spotty. It wasn’t a huge problem but something to know. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
We had such an amazing time! The view is simply amazing! Super clean and really cute. 5 adults and 3 kids and we all felt super comfortable. It was around 95 degrees one day, and with no AC it wasn't the greatest - so I would avoid dead of summer heat. But it did not ruin the entire time. I was very pleased with our booking and would definitely again! Great location to drive in town to the Manistee beaches also!
Everything was exactly as described Beautiful cottage on the water. Looking forward to staying again.
Very Nice Cottage with Great Views!! We didn't cook there, but it appeared well equipped for it if that was your plan.
