Great place to stay
Close to downtown Manistee, plenty of space and privacy! Manistee is a great town to spend some time away and recharge, and Muriel's house is the perfect place to do that!Space was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our long weekend stay. Will come again!

Be my Valentine
My husband and I stayed at Muriel’s house for Valentines weekend. Troy and Andrea were kind enough to let us know that the house was ready for check in early if we wanted it. When we arrived there were chocolates and wine for us to enjoy. The house is decorated beautifully and a few valentine decorations as well sprinkled around the house. The house was well stocked with towels, pots and pans, dishes and cutlery. Not only did we have everything we needed it was all like being at home. Some other rentals we have been to the dishes and towels are a mishmash of things that people got from grandma’s attic or a garage sale. Not Muriel’s house! All the plates matched and the towels don’t have holes in them. They really take pride in this house. We spent some time hiking. We went to Magoon creek which was a short distance south of the house and then to Beech Hemlock was north of the house. Downtown has some great restaurants. The hot tub was so nice to relax in after a cold snowy few miles. We will definitely keep Muriel’s house in mind the next time we are in Manistee!

Comfy and Relaxing
The property was very clean and organized. Using the hot tub was straightforward and the tub was clean and well maintained. The house was nicely finished and well equipped for my stay. The Pac-Man game in the basement was fun! The bed was very comfortable and helped me sleep well while there!

Good property for familys
Not great for couples tho especially if your partner is over 6 foot lol. There is no master bedroom and only one bathroom with a tiny toilet and the whole house is set up for shorter people there is also no privacy for the hot tub and no place for you to get ready to go out. It was a nice place just not comfortable and the beds were all terrible for our backspeople

Amazing stay and hosts
This was by far the best place I’ve stayed at from the hosts to the house. If I could give it 20 stars I would gladly do that. Troy and Andrea are spectacular and they made our stay the absolute best! They have so many special touches to make this the perfect vacation spot for anyone. Whether it be a group of of friends, a couple or a family, they really have thought of everything. The hot tub was amazing and the beds were comfy, the welcome treats were an added bonus and were enjoyed by all. The house is adorably decorated and super clean. It is even more spacious than it looks on the pictures. The backyard is spectacular and has everything you could possibly need. They have so much to offer and I would highly recommend this place for any of your Manistee getaways. It really was a home away from home. Thank you for allowing my friends and I the opportunity to stay at your place. It was very memorable and special! 😊

Wonderful!
Muriel’s place makes you feel like you are welcome in her home! It was spotless, organized,and very comfortable. When we had an issue with the hot tub, the owner responded within five minutes of us contacting him. He checked in on later to make sure the problem was resolved and also a few days later. We highly recommend this property! Coming back next year.

Beyond expectations
I have never been to the part of Michigan but it was so quaint and fun! We came up on July 4th. There was so much to do we didn’t have time for everything. The beaches were amazing. They were so clean and not busy at all. This house is the perfect location for the cute little downtown and the beaches. The house itself was very clean and well stocked. There was so much to do at the house itself. Hot tub, hammocks, games, TVs in every room. We only cooked one meal but the kitchen had everything we needed. Loved this place and I can’t wait to go back! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful place!

Perfect getaway
Troy and Andrea were wonderful hosts! They were super responsive with any questions we had and very flexible! The extras for the kiddos and snacks were a special touch and we felt very welcomed. The house had everything we could possibly need and a variety of activities for kids of all ages. Everything was pristine and super comfortable. The early check in and later check out times made all the difference when traveling with kids and we never felt rushed. All of the activities/games/toys/toiletries allowed us to pack lightly and focus on our time together. It’s close enough to walk downtown to the river and shops/restaurantsy and we even passed a little park on the way. Overall, we had an amazing time and hope to stay here again sometime!
