Great stay in a Beautiful home

This is a well thought out property with owners that have thought of everything a renter may need during their stay. We enjoyed having space to spread out and the backyard every evening.

Best VRBO ever

The accommodations were above and beyond our expectations. The house was big enough for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. Beds were all extremely comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep. Having a smart TV in every bedroom was a huge bonus. We all want to do this again next year!

The Perfect Getaway!

Our friend group of 15 were looking for a place to get together for a vacation, when we came across this home. Manistee is such a cute little town and the house was big enough for all of us. Its two dining and living rooms made it easy to play lots of board games! AND THE BEDS- They were so comfy! Everyone slept amazing. Amy was also super sweet and made us all feel welcomed. It was honestly hard saying goodbye. Would recommend to anyone who wants a west side getaway.

Absolutely fantastic!!!

This house was perfect for our large family vacation! We had 10 adults and 12 kids and there was enough room for everyone to fit comfortably and get space when they needed it. This owner thought of everything and it was the first house we've stayed at where we didnt need to run for extra items besides food. They had a lot of toys inside and out for kids and plent of books as well. This house is also a very close walk to downtown shops and restaurants and a short drive to beaches. I cannot recommend this house more for faily vacations. It was absolutely wonderful and no problems at all.

Had Everything and More

We had 19 adults and 4 kids in this house and we're very comfortable. It was very walkable, close to the beach and grocery stores. The house had everything we needed, including baby gates and toys for our kids. There were things we packed that we didn't even take out of the car because they were already at the house. Amy was very responsive and answered all of my questions promptly, she made she we had everything needed for our stay. Highly recommend for large groups staying in Manistee.

Great Home for Family Reunion

We rented this home for our family to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s together. It was the perfect spot for our family of 15. There were lots of bedrooms and plenty of space for us to spread out, yet feel together! Manistee is a great little town to explore, and the Riverwalk is beautiful, going all the way from downtown to Lake Michigan! The house is convenient to downtown, the Riverwalk and, a beautiful beach on Lake, Michigan. The owner was very accommodating for our family and quick to respond to any inquiries I had. They even put up a Christmas tree for us, knowing we were celebrating our holidays together. Everyone in my family commented on how much they enjoyed this house and location because there were a lot of things to do and we could easily play games and make a lot of noise in the house on one side, while the younger kids were sleeping on the other side upstairs. I would definitely recommend this for a large family or group of friends.
