About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Huge historic on Lake Michigan w/ large yard, fire pit, BBQ & air conditioning

Our home is a 1900’s historic charmer with updates for everyone (yep, air conditioning, high speed-wifi & big tv ;). Play games in our large backyard or finished basement, and is walking distance to the beach or restaurants - staying here is #morethanvacation.

Guests have exclusive access to enjoy the house (on one level), partial basement, back deck, and backyard area. *Note: The entire house has a separate one-bedroom apartment with a separate entrance & a deck available for booking. Reach out to me if you are interested in both areas.

Situated in a cute, historic neighborhood in downtown Manistee that’s easy and safe to walk with well-lit sidewalks, everyone around is so kind you'll think you are in the deep south. You are blocks away from 5th street beach, downtown Manistee and the canal for big-ship and drawbridge viewing :)
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Great Family-Friendly House

We had a great time here--it was clean, cute, and the location was very good, walkable, or a quick drive to downtown or the lake. There is a nice yard and patio that we spent time on too. There is one fewer bed than the listing shows however, which inconvenienced us a bit, so that needs to be fixed.

Perfect Fall weekend!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this charming home that is pristine clean, spacious and beautiful! The location is perfect for visiting the spectacular Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, and a few of the many wineries during a perfect Fall weekend while the foliage was in peak color. We also loved the spaghetti dinner items provided when we came back from a long day touring the area!

Marvelous Manistee

The home was in a great location. It has a nice size kitchen. The bathroom is very narrow. The one bedroom is too small, it is pretty narrow around the bed. The living room was big and comfortable. The chairs are pretty low to get out of. The tv was all in spanish until we w able to find where to change it.

Great location

The house had plenty of space for our group and we enjoyed grilling in the backyard. It was close to town and we were a few mins away from the beach and stores. I was surprised that one of the rooms was separated by a curtain instead of a door. We were just staying for one night so it worked out okay, I would want to have known that for a longer visit. The hosts had great communication during our stay
