The hosts were responsive, friendly, and very accommodating! The house itself is beautiful. We went for a winter girl’s trip and it was so perfect and cozy. We loved the hot tub and the fireplace, and going down to the water with all the ice was very cool. We are already talking about returning next year!

Everything about the property was just as we expected. Listing gave us all accurate information. We stayed with 5 retired (or semi retired) couples. Ample room for all of us. Beds were very comfortable. Since it was cold, snowy and windy, we did not visit the beach or use the hot tub. We were there to celebrate the holidays in Manistee- a fast 15 mile minutes away. We had a lovely time- Our hosts were very responsive to any questions we had.

This was such an awesome little weekend! Views were incredible and the house was lovely. The kitchen had nearly everything in it you'd need, aside from the food. Bedrooms were roomy and private with plenty of sleeping spots. Living room was comfy and cozy with great views out the windows. Thanks for letting us experience this place!

Everything surpassed our expectations. Words don't do the stunning views of the Big Lake justice; whether the brilliant sunsets, or the glow of the morning Sun, it's better than the pictures!Soaking in the hot tub under the stars was also a huge highlight.As was the fire pit, both that morning and at night! It's close to town and multiple restaurants, grocery store and areas of interest.And is a great launching pad for day trips to do some.Hiking or more coastal viewing! The hosts are available if needed, and provided a multitude of great insights as to some local spots, places to eat drink and sites to see!We had an amazing time here and would definitely come back!

We loved the situation of this property and its view of the lake and sky from both inside and outside. The cottage was furnished with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and we really enjoyed our time there--walking the beach, relaxing, hot-tubbing, sitting at the campfire, and playing games.

House was nice, water has a sulfur odor so if that bothers you, I suggest brining bottles to drink. Water from fridge is ok. The hot tub was pretty gross when we first arrived- luckily my husband knows how to get the chemicals in order. After he cleaned the filter the hot tub was good for the rest of the weekend. Overall a decent stay.

This property checked all the boxes for us. Wonderful beach, fabulous cliff top views of lake Michigan, fire pit and lovely hot tub were bonuses. Plenty of room for a large family to be together yet still have some personal space. Nicely equipped kitchen - we love to cook and share meals!

A lovely place to stay - great for a group of friends. There was a lot of space, plenty of beds, a hot tub and such a great beach to spend time rock picking and hanging out. Definitely be ready for a leg work out with all the stairs, but so worth it!

The property was a bit off the beaten path, so it was very peaceful. The view was exceptional, although the bluff is super steep (which was mentioned before we checked in). The stairs down to the lake are new. The beach at the bottom is not the best for swimming. It’s very rocky and there are remnants of old seawalls sticking out of the water. The beach in town is a much better option. The house had plenty of space; however, one of the rooms on the second floor did not have A/C and the rooms in the basement smelled musty, which is probably not uncommon given you are literally on the lake. I put some odor absorbers down in there and they did the trick. There were just enough bath towels for the six of us, but no beach towels. And, some of the bath towels were super damp (i.e. wet) when we arrived, which was a bit unpleasant. Maybe they were not fully dry when the cleaning crew put them out. We just re-washed them. Check-in and out was very easy. We only contacted the property manager with one issue regarding a TV remote and they were very responsive. The kitchen had plenty of space. The fridge is exceptionally cold, so anything put towards the back froze. We couldn’t find a setting to check the temp, but it wasn’t a huge problem. Wi-Fi worked well. It went down one time, but only for a few hours. The house has parking for four cars, but the parking pad is very tight (we had two cars). Overall, we had a nice family trip. Having never stayed in Manistee, we enjoyed the area!

We had a wonderful time staying at the "Red Cottage". We thought the property was even better in person then the photos listed. My husband and I spent time with our daughter and two of her adult children and her teenager. There was plenty of room for us. The beds were very comfortable and the linens and towels were nice quality. We enjoyed playing games at the large dining table. We also used the hot tub to relax. The lake view from the house is beautiful and the sunsets each evening were spectacular. It was extra nice having the steps to the beach. The kitchen seemed to be well stocked for cooking meals. We however skipped cooking and enjoyed eating at many of the local restaurants. There are many outdoor activities, hiking, beaches, nature abounds all close to the cottage. We defiantly recommend this property and would stay here again.
