About this property

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 :)

Great Family-Friendly House

We had a great time here--it was clean, cute, and the location was very good, walkable, or a quick drive to downtown or the lake. There is a nice yard and patio that we spent time on too. There is one fewer bed than the listing shows however, which inconvenienced us a bit, so that needs to be fixed.

Weekend Away

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!

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!

Bachelor Party Weekend

This property was perfect for a boys trip. We were all able to have a place to sleep and be comfortable. 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. They also left us with pasta which we all appreciated so much!

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

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
