Didn't need to use the fire place. This property is all about a million dollar view on a budget! Sunsets were amazing! Private beach on Lake Michigan was clean, no rocky terrain. Swimming was perfect, even at the end of September. Sand was sun heated. You can hear the host family's conversation through the walls, so they probably heard us too. For the price we can overlook that. Toaster, griddle, fridge and coffee, but no real kitchen. Bath is very nice. We plan to be back!

Location fabulous for sunsets, quiet beach walks. Easy drive into Manistee. Accommodations themselves are pretty dated, there is no air conditoning (and difficult to get a cross-breeze), and the door separating the spaces is pretty thin. There's a water issue in the bathroom and would guess owners are aware since there's a bucket under the sink. Met very nice owner in the driveway as we were coming in.

Great vantage point from above Lake Michigan

The property was extremely close to lake Michigan with direct beach access which was great. Little dated but clean and comfortable. A great place to experience the area from.

Beautiful setting right above the beach. Only issue was upon check-in the room felt and smelled musty. Opening windows and running ceiling fans helped a lot. Nice owners live in adjacent part of home. Wonderful location with lots to experience in the area. Saw 3 bald eagles.

The view was fantastic. The place was outdated. The coffee maker still had coffee in it, and was not cleaned at all. Overall it was a nice place, but it needs updates and a thorough cleaning.

The VIEW! The SUNSETS! The WAVES!

I'll be back! I went down to the beach (13 steps, a landing, then 15 steps, then about one minute of walking through dune grass to get there, if you're curious), played in the waves, and relaxed. There was a misty day, and I followed the suggestions the host provided and found a Gravity Hill and was amazed, and went for a couple easy hikes in nature preserves. Purely by accident, the house was getting a new roof while I was there, but you can't always choose when these things happen. Luckily, down by the beach, I couldn't hear a thing, and evenings and mornings were quiet. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps another table/floor lamp or two in the living room, since the one that is there is a bit dim for reading in the evening. There were overhead lights, but they're not terribly atmospheric.
