Such an amazing stay! Very private property, was amazing for the dogs to run. Still close to downtown Manistee. We went into town for lunch for days and had a great time. Everything was very clean and as expected.

We loved our stay at the cottage in the woods. Was grateful to find such a great pet friendly option. The cabin was clean and nice with everything we needed. It was quiet and secluded which made for a relaxing stay. The lake and the Pine River were not too far of a drive and got to enjoy kayaking/hiking. Will definitely come back again!

Cute and cozy

My boyfriend and I enjoyed this cozy cabin for it's amenities and for being tucked in a secluded spot. We made the short drive to downtown Manistee for some shops and the beach. And we enjoyed the Bear Creek river access nearby for some kayaking/SUPing.

Great Cottage to relax

The property was very tidy, there was everything a visiting couple with a pet could ask for. There was even a few just in case amenities, such as tools, a few diapers, as well as other extras. Thank you 😊 👍 thinking ahead. The cottage sooooooo cozy that my wife didn't want to leave.

Cozy Cabin

We really loved the place. It was a perfect winter getaway cabin. The gas grill could use an upgrade and a few more kitchen utensils and cookware would make it a little more convenient for cooking meals, but overall a clean and comfortable cabin. Karen was a great host and got back to us quickly on questions. Would definitely rent again!

Cottage in the woods

This was a cute little property but there were some rather odd features: you have to stand on a stepladder to use the clothes dryer; there were no written instructions for anything in the house other than 2 codes for the TV's; one drawer in the kitchen contained about 15 little whiskey bottles. Overall, a cute little cottage but the property manager could definitely use a locked cupboard for "owner use only" to store all the random items that are scattered here and there (paint cans, tools, diapers, etc.).
