Spacious Lake Getaway with AC, Golf Nearby & Top-Rated Beaches

Location was perfect. The house was great. Only issue is no A/C. Also, the grill had a knob that didn't work on the second burner.

Wondeful home tastefully renovated. No AC but wasn't a problem as weather was cooperative and ventilation is excellent. Did get a little watm in the kitchen on the hot days. The kitchen is well appointed for those who like to cook. Wonderful stay

This was our second time visiting the Manistee area, first time at this property. The property manager gave me a call a few evenings before our check-in, which was nice, but that was the last time I heard from him. We had a couple of questions that I wanted to discuss after arrival, but he never responded to my text. The property was very nice and well-equipped for kids, adults, and dogs, but the biggest thing we ran into was that the house is **not air conditioned**, and we showed up on one of the hottest days of the summer. They had box fans (five in fact), and a couple of portable air conditioners, but no hoses available to hook them up. Being an engineer, I made do with what we had in light of no response from the owner/manager. The property is not listed as being air conditioned, but it's also not highlighted, either. Shame on us for not verifying, but I also feel the VRBO listing should be better at highlighting this key luxury. The only smaller problems we had is that the property could have been cleaner (especially the showers), and the owner needs to put their Rokus into guest mode. I don't want to use their streaming accounts, and I don't especially want to know their watching habits (lots of political channels), but they were locked from being able to be put into guest mode or add our own streaming channels. Overall, it's a really cute and well maintained property, especially for its age, and Manistee and its beaches were great to visit.

Very spacious and in a safe and high end neighborhood. Owner is delightful and helpful.

We were one family of a large group who gathered in Manistee to celebrate the lost lives of grandparents. This house was perfect for all of us, and accommodated nicely the infants and toddlers in the family. Also welcomed our two pets…it was perfect. We borrowed a couple of slow cookers and invited the entire family over for pulled pork sandwiches on the first night, everyone hung out outside and they played multigenerational frisbee or baseball in the giant backyard. The fire pit was a hit afterwards for s’mores. Going to the beach and taking walks, or heading off to meet up with others on our bikes was a piece of cake. Great location, great neighborhood, great accommodations!

Very comfortable house with space to relax and be with family. The kitchen was supplied with all utensils for fixing meals which we did. There was a huge and comfy room which we used especially in the evening to gather together. All the bedrooms were on the second floor. We had no difficuty with the steps. There was a gate at the bottom of the steps to keep little ones out of harms way if need. We enjoyed the beautiful and mild weather and used the many installed and provided fans to easily moderate the temperature in the house to comfortable levels especially on the second floor. The beach was easily within walking distance. It was a steep climb down to the beach, but sturdy stairs were provided. We spent lots of time at the beach and could have used some chairs. We did not even try the provided kayak and board. The thought of going down the steps with them did not seem easy. Others might find it easier. A huge grocery was within a 5 minutes drive. Overall we had a wonderful stay.

Nice place. Roomy. Good location.

We enjoyed our week at the cottage. The owners were response and provided all the info we needed. The beach was back this year which was a big plus for us having littles with us. The huge yard was also a livesaver! I wouldn't quite say we had a view of the Lake but we did walk to the corner to watch the sunsets. Place was clean and had plentyof room for us to spread out.

Very pleasant experience

Well stocked kitchen. Roomy and clean accommodations. Used patio and fire pit to watch moon, stars and sunset. Recommend Princess boat tour on Lake Michigan. Walked to Manistee on the beach and back. Prepare to get your feet wet.
