Fun in Manistee
We enjoyed a long weekend at this charming rental home. It’s all about location as it’s a short walk to First Street Beach, downtown Manistee and the Riverwalk. The house has a fun beach vibe, decorated in charming style and equipped with all that you need. We loved the upstairs bunk room with the TV and DVD player. It’s a nice large space for the grandkids to have fun and spread out. We especially enjoyed our hike at Magoon Creek and the best Lake MI beach. Thank you for sharing your home and your great little city!
