Another Great Vacation at Mani Bay

This is a perfect Northwoods retreat for any family. We love the cabin, it has plenty of space and all of the extras anyone would need for a great trip. Our teenage boys love the fire pit and the kayaks/paddleboats. We all loved the new pontoon and spent most of our days out on the lake. All in all, this is a wonderful spot!

Amazing Lake Retreat

We loved our week at the Lake! The house was comfortable. The recreation equipment that is provided is such a bonus to be able to enjoy the lake. We brought our bikes and enjoyed the paved trails and mountain bike trails. Jake was great work with! We hope to return again!

Family fall get-a-way

The property was great. The home was just as the listing stated. The lot is wide and level which was perfect for getting down to the boat as well as having some privacy. The screened-in sitting area was fantastic for game nights before finishing up at the firepit. We had a really nice time.

Cozy North Woods Cabin

This home and location are fantastic. Loved everything about it! Well appointed, clean and so cozy. Wish I were back there now! Our boys loved building fires outside, kayaking in the bay and the pontoon was a major bonus! Jake was super responsive too!

Great stay

We had a great stay. Beautiful home. Decor full north woods. Very clean. Jake was available and was concerned about our needs. Pontoon a difference maker. Only issue was sporadic internet which impeded emails and televisions in the evening. Great property. Great host

Beautiful and Quiet Stay

I recently came up with a group of 7 to this property. We had a great stay and there was more than enough room for all of us! Property was super clean upon arrival. Really enjoyed having a fire during the cold nights. Backside of the property was beautiful right onto the lake. Many groups of deer were also walking around so that was fun to see as they got very close!

Outstanding Northwoods Retreat

This place has it all-- Top notch accommodations, peaceful setting, great views, varied amenities, responsive host and much more. My husband & I needed a relaxing vacation & that is exactly what we got! Manitowish Waters has been our "Happy Place" for over 40 years and the restaurants, bike trails, navigable chain of lakes, natural beauty, etc. are unparalleled anywhere. Yes, I'm biased, but it's true. We will be back.

Mani Bay was a perfect vacation rental in an incredible location and perfect for families.

We were excited to be able to stay on the Manitowish chain, and were just hopeful that the Mani Bay rental would be descent. We were excited to find the home to be very well cleaned, excellent bedding, with a layout that was great for families...kids could hang out downstairs while the adults had cocktails on the deck. The decor is tasteful and well appointed. The screened in eating room on the deck made for great dinners while watching the eagle fly on the bay with loons calling. On the days that were cooler, we got a nice breeze through the cabin, and the air conditioning was a nice perk on the couple humid nights we had. The pontoon boat was the kicker, as it allowed for us to experience all that the Manitowish has to offer from picking up a drink at Greers Peir to swimming at Fox Island and at Star Lake. Fishing was excellent this week too! Jake is very responsive if you have any questions. I would highly recommend this place...it's a gem.

Great week at ManiBay

Very clean and well kept place with plenty of things to do for teens - paddle boards, kayaks, canoe, peddle boat and a pontoon boat for us to cruise the chain. We had a great time and Jake was a very good host.

Mani Bay Chalet delivers! is a well maintained, well managed property. It is tastefully appointed, included all the amenities one would need for an enjoyable stay. The Manitowish Chain is an outstanding chain of full rec lakes that offers everything from tubing/skiing to kayaking and is also an excellent fisherie. I highly recommend using a local guide if its your first time fishing on the chain. We used a wonderful guide, Matt Raley from Hideaway Hollow Outfitters. Matt provided everything the boat, tackle and bait and then put us right on the fish! we boated 4 Muskies including a 42" Tiger Muskie in just a day and 1/2 of fishing with him (actual mileage may vary). The fall colors were spectacular and the pontoon boat was a great way to cruise the chain and take in the beautiful northwoods color. Jake is very quick to respond with answers to any questions you have. We will be booking this again.
