    Location is absolutely amazing and the house is just as advertised. The views are breath taking and the house is close enough to everything without being too close. We had a lovely time and will book this again for our fishing trip on the Manistee River again next year.

    Fun cottage home, with a mix of old and new flare. Had everything the owners stated and a beautiful beach and sunset views! Fun arcade games indoors and lovely fire pit outdoors. Lots of games and puzzles onsite. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

    We had a beautiful, dreamy vacation at this absolutely stunning home. Everyone from my older relatives in their 80s to my 11yo son had an amazing time. Could not have asked for a better place to land. Highly recommend!

    As described and much more, amazing property, amazing views and sunset, amazing beach front. Very quiet, serene setting, house itself is super legit, all amenities you will ever need either for a couple days or a couple of weeks. A special thanks to the host for the super fast replies on booking and while on property. Recommend +++

    We had a wonderful family reunion. The house location was better than we could have planned - a short drive to Manistee and to a grocery store. The rental had its own beachfront. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep and the kitchen was well set up. There was a great backyard outdoor area with a grill, fire pit and plenty of seating. If we have an opportunity to return to Manistee, this will be the first place we would choose to rent.

    My family and I enjoyed staying at this property during this 4th of July week! Watching the sunset every night from atop the bluff was amazing. We also enjoyed strolling the beach, playing shuffleboard, playing board games, and playing arcade games in the basement! The kitchen was fully-stocked with all the gear you need to prepare meals throughout your stay. The host is very responsive and helpful, so you know he cares about you enjoying your stay! Overall, good value for our lake house getaway this year! ? Only two knocks on this place: queen bed in bunk room is very stiff, and cleanliness could be improved upon arrival (bathrooms and basement had cobwebs/spiders that we took care of).

    Amazing property. House was clean and location is hard to beat with Lake Michigan in the backyard. Loved our stay and would definitely come again.
