We could not have asked for a more perfect stay for my niece's wedding. The home is spotless and the owners went above and beyond to make sure that the house was fully stocked and welcoming. House is conveniently located and communication was spot on. We will be staying here again when we come back.

Quiet with a lot of space

We loved this stay. Everything was comfortable and inviting. It was like being at home, it would be a place we would consider staying at again. Our grand daughter loved the books and games for kids.

Best place to stay in Manitowoc!!

This home was well organized and clean. The owners were very responsive, which made checking in/out and adding another day to our stay go smoothly. There were plenty of extra pillows/blankets and air mattress for whoever may need it. Located right in the heart of manitowoc, Walmart, restaurants; shopping areas are all within 5 minutes away. I would recommend this place to anyone, and would definitely stay here again!

Nice property

Upon arrival, everything was neat and tidy. The living spaces were comfortable and everything needed was available. The hosts were thoughtful and left gifts of hand made soaps. There were Apple and Pear trees available and the fruit was there for the picking. It is located at the end of a dead end street and the expansive property afforded plenty of privacy. All in an all a wonderful stay and gracious hosts! Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area.

The house was well furnished with amenities and thoughtful touches. I wish my home had the array of kitchen implements that this house does. Lisa had even included an assortment of snacks and water. Neither my companion nor I can think of a single negative thing to say. Everything was as advertised or better. It is obvious that Lisa put a lot of thought into making sure that the guests had everything they need.
