We had a great stay here this past weekend. The host was very communicative and helpful leading up to the trip. There was lots of room for all of our group. The host was having a little issue with bees but was quick to let me know and we weren’t bothered at all. This house is extremely close to downtown which made it very easy to walk everywhere. Very good food and cute shops downtown as well. We also enjoyed all the fall colors on our walks downtown or by the river. Overall very successful weekend away!

Great place for exploring Manistee

We enjoyed the neat, comfortable house and the location. Plenty room for the 11 of us and downtown Manistee was a walk away. The kitchen was well stocked for making our meals and the games and toys helped keep the kids occupied. Thanks for a great stay.
