Manistee, Michigan
Manistee, Michigan is where relaxation and all-season adventures intersect at Lake Michigan and the Manistee National Forest. Navigate Manistee is a 3-story townhome in the Harbor Village resort-like community with amenities that include a year-round indoor pool and hot tub, seasonal outdoor pool and hot tub, fitness room, marina full of nautical eye candy, playground, sand volleyball court, and an outdoor community fire pit. Harbor Village sits along the pure, magical shores of Lake Michigan where you can sun and swim at 5th Avenue Beach, and then have a beach bonfire or walk the North Pierhead Lighthouse to catch the stunning sunset.
The 3 floors of this townhome offer our guests the space they need without being on top of each other all week. Upon entry, the main floor open plan layout invites our guests to relax in the living room with a Smart TV and streaming apps, entertain at the dining table that seats 6 and a peninsula with 3 additional stools, and enjoy a coffee overlooking the marina and outdoor pool which are basically your backyard! The kitchen boasts stainless-steel appliances with filtered refrigerator water and air fryer technology with the oven. There’s a half-bathroom, coat closet, and access to the 1-car garage.
The second-floor sleeps 6 beginning with a spacious landing that houses a twin daybed with a trundle bed and lounge chair. Sliding glass doors lead out to an open-air balcony with four chairs so you could end the evening star gazing. The Primary Bedroom has a queen bed, double closet, dresser, nightstands, picture windows with room darkening shades, and a ceiling fan. The second bedroom has two twin beds, a dresser, a walk-in closet, room darkening shades, and a ceiling fan. A full bathroom with a tub and removable shower head is also on this floor.
The Lower Level features a family room (AKA bedroom) with a queen sofa sleeper, a Smart TV with Roku, picture windows, ceiling fan, books, an electric mini-fireplace, and a door for privacy. The lower-level walks out onto a ground level patio with a bistro table and chairs. This back entrance makes for a handy "mudroom" for your wet beach/pool towels or your winter snow gear. There's a double closet for guests, and an office with a desk, lamp, and small chest of drawers. The Laundry Room via the office boasts a large capacity washer and dryer with a tub sink (detergent included!). A full bathroom with a stand-up shower completes the Lower Level. There are hair dryers in both full bathrooms. For those who still need to be connected or are working remotely, the Wi-Fi has 300 Mbps download speeds for streaming and/or video calls. A pack and play and booster chair are also available to guests.
The best part of your home-away is the easy 10-minute walk to the beach through the marina and along sidewalks, where our wagon with monster wheels and our a cooler on wheels will simplify getting there. We have spare beach chairs and sand toys to help you ease up on packing. It's a breezy 15-minute walk or short bike ride to the Manistee Riverwalk and the downtown eateries and shops.
For the adventure enthusiasts, there are plenty of nearby activities like hiking, biking, camping, skiing at two resorts, kayaking, fishing, kitesurfing, or whatever your experience calls for in the adjacent Manistee National Forest and nearby parks. Experience a tranquil nearby pleasure hike at Orchard Beach State Park or Magoon Creek, or plan longer hikes or biking within 20-minutes with the many 'choose your own' Manistee National Forest adventure trails. Take advantage of "cheater" camping at Nordhouse Dunes, go on a kayaking or tubing adventure on the Manistee River, or use Fall as the excuse to drive up M-22 for the most vivid, picturesque Fall color tour, visiting the darling seaside towns along the way. Don’t forget to take in the view atop Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore or Arcadia Dunes. For the winter getaway, ski at Crystal Mountain or Caberfae Peaks, take a sleigh ride, and swim in the indoor pool and hot tub; then warm up in front of the toasty fireplace. And don’t forget there is always the exciting Little River Casino, if you're up for fun and games, or just want a few more food options.

Beautiful place, great location! Host was great to work with! Plenty of room for our whole family! Would stay again and recommend it!
Truly recommend choosing this location to my friends. Host very accommodating. Enjoyed our stay. Thanks to Andrea.
The location was very nice. Very clean and very well maintained
Great location. The kitchen was stocked with GOOD utensils and dishes etc! We just missed a tea kettle and griddle
As described, garage was loaded with boogie boards, beach chairs, wagons. Plenty of garage space for 5 bikes plus beach stuff. Beds were nice and firm, kitchen was well stocked with all you’ll need. Communication with hosts was never an issue. Highly recommend
Awesome stay
Harbor village is a beautiful place. Love being able to walk to the beach. This place was well stocked and met all our needs. Andrea was a very good communicator.
Accurate description. Great communication. Clean. Especially appreciated comfortable beds and variety of sleep options (good for family with kids different ages). Well appointed kitchen plus table for six. We'll be back!
The price was reasonable, the process was easy enough for tech challenged senior to navigate. The property is first rate with excellent appliances and the owners were extremely helpful.
This cozy property is beautiful. Very nicely appointed and decorated with artwork that brings out the Northern Michigan ambiance. It is located in the nicest development in the area and is adjacent to one of the most beautiful beaches in Nortwestern Michigan. We felt at home immediately. You can't wrong with this property.
Great location, clean, and comfortable!
We had a lovely super fun experience here! It’s a sleepy Michigan town with beautiful beaches, no crowding and lovely quiet sunsets! A few great restaurants and shops, and lots of opportunity for fabulous day trips. The house is a great location, quick walk into town and beach, and across the street from the pools. We rated down only one notch for cleanliness as it felt like the cleaning service probably took some shortcuts but overall clean & very accommodating! We will be back again!
Well stocked unit. Hostess provided many extras and provided information on local places to eat and visit. Great amenities including access to beach, pool and a childrens playground
This property was wonderful… the hosts put a lot of thought into making their guests feel welcome. Unlike some of the properties I’ve rented in the past, where you felt like the owners left you only the bare shell of a property, these owners provided beach toys, games, spices & cooking essentials, plenty of towels & bedding…etc. It made us feel like family or good friends staying at an up-north cottage. I would highly recommend this property to any family. We had 4 adults & 2 children, The brand new appliances were also wonderful! Harbor Village is a truly a fun & beautiful destination in Manistee.
We had everything we needed to enjoy a week in beautiful Mainstee. The owners were very responsive and we found their place to be exactly as listed. The pools and play structure were perfect for days away from the beach. The location is perfectly situated for a short walk to the beach or downtown.
This property was wonderfully set up for our family of four and my mom. We stayed upstairs and she had some privacy downstairs and there was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was spacious with nice appliances and having two full bathrooms was also very helpful! The upstairs tub worked great for kids’ baths. The town of Manistee was quiet and cute. We enjoyed the shops and restaurants. The Harbor Village pool was a huge hit and walking to the beach was very manageable with the help of the cooler and wagon (even with a 3yr old and 8 months old) provided by the host! The condo is full of bright, natural light which was wonderful except for the late sunsets and kids’ bedtimes. Overall a wonderful stay and great host!
We had a wonderful stay at Harbor Village. Our host Andrea was a pleasure to work with. Our condo was very comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed, plus some extras like beach and pool toys for our grandchild. The pools and playground are a short walk away. The beach is close by and the town of Manistee has plenty to offer. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for a very nice vacation!
Andrea's property is absolutely wonderful. Everything was super-clean and comfortable. We appreciated all the little extras, like the welcome package she left for us upon arrival, as well as all the spices in the cabinet to help make our cooking experiences a breeze! All the appliances are modern and clean. Having a garage to park in was a huge bonus! The location is great, with just a short walk to pools, the lake, plus some great fishing in the smaller Man Made Lake just across the way. Plenty of golf courses to pick from too. Getting to town was a breeze! We would absolutely stay here again the next time want to travel to Michigan. Our family loved our stay!
