Great little neighborhood

This is a very cute little place. It’s very recently updated and is very conveniently located. It’s close to Manistee for groceries and entertainment. Never been to this area before. It is a little tight quarters for 5 but just for indoor recreation. Sleeping arrangements were great for us. The trails are amazing and the beach is also. What a wonderful little piece of heaven. Great value trip.
