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 :)
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as an arcade/game room.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

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.

The house worked really well for our family. We walked downtown for a nice meal and then experiences the river walk. The house is very clean and in a quiet neighborhood. The owner was very responsive as well. Highly recommend this property.

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

We really enjoyed our weekend in Manistee at this property. There was plenty of room for all of us, close access to downtown, golf, and the beach. We really enjoyed the large living to hang out, as well as the outdoor area. Overall, we had a great experience here!

Great Stay!
The first floor of this house was big, clean, and had VERY comfy beds. They left us coffee, creamers, sugar, and pasta with sauce, in case we wanted those....very kind and thoughtful. This was a VERY easy place to come and relax, I hope to return with all my 4 adult kids in the fall and use the back porch and fire pit. A + rental, thank you. PS we walked to town every day and explored the pubs, cute shops, and restaurants with tasty food. YUM

The location was perfect for all we wanted to do in a weekend, including Golfing, the casino, and being in nature. The communication was perfect with the host and made us feel truly welcomed.
