This place was perfect and was just what we were hoping for! It was close to beaches, shopping, great walking neighborhood as well as the house being spotless, efficient, cozy & relaxing with everything we could need. This was a Summer Solistice drive we created about 7 yrs ago, by starting with the sunrise at 5:50am on the East side of the state in Tawas, driving across the state & seeing sunset in Manistee at 9:33pm! This place was a wonderful landing spot on our travels to take our time and relax while celebrating summer. Shawn was a wonderful & friendly host, the directions were simple and easy to navigate, and we felt very welcome. DidI mention this place was super comfortable and spotless? Such a very charming home and we home to come back with at least one of our adult kids and visit again. Manistee has always has a place in our hearts, our kids grew up coming here every summer. Thanks again Shawn for a fabulous visit!
