About this property

Downtown home blocks to the beach w/ king bed, deck fire pit & air conditioning

Our home in Manistee is a 1900’s historic charmer with original floors, historic features, fans in rooms, and a large private deck to watch the sunset, making your visit #morethanvacation.

The apartment offers one studio-style bedroom with a king-size bed, a living room with a convertible couch bed, a fully furnished kitchen, a newly renovated bathroom, a washer and dryer and a large deck with seating and a fire pit for lounging outside with a cool local beverage enjoying the great Michigan weather.

Our home is fully furnished to make your stay easier while you are on vacation or on work assignment in Northern Michigan. You will find bath towels, linens, and soaps to wash off all those sandy moments from Lake Michigan. Basic cleaning supplies like trash bags or paper products (toilet paper, tissues) have been thoughtfully provided too! We provide coffee and tea to make mornings better. The kitchen has enough cooking tools that'll help you enjoy a pleasant meal after exploring this beautiful town we love, Historic Manistee.

Guests have exclusive access to the second-floor apartment, with a private entrance area, apartment deck, and street parking in front of the home.

**Please note: This apartment is located on the second floor of the home so guests must be comfortable climbing a full flight of stairs with their luggage and must agree to quiet hours to respect our downstairs guests.

The entire house includes a 3 bedroom rental with a separate entrance & yard access/ deck available for booking, too. Please reach out to me directly if you are interested in available dates for both spaces.

This home is perfect for a laid-back couple or a few friends who don’t mind a squeaky floorboard, no dishwasher (we do have a disposal :) and who are comfortable with historic imperfection. If these things bother you or any of your guests, there are other great places to stay in Manistee :)

It's like a little hideaway after a full day on the beach. Make a meal, enjoy the fire pit on the deck and watch the stars come out. Then, sleep soundly in the quiet comfort of a king bed.

Beautiful attention to detail.

We loved so many things about this sweet little place. The cleanliness was superb, comfortable, communication clear & kind, welcoming, and the neighbors shoveled a path to our car & reminded us to move to the opposite side of the road. We couldn’t have been happier with anything. It is very close to food, downtown, and the casino. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you so much!

Quirky but Comfortable

A lovely apartment in an older home that has been lovingly restored with all of the quirkiness of an upstairs with sloping ceilings and original floors. We loved the windows that opened for fresh air and the roof balcony. The washer and dryer were indispensable for us no-luggage travelers. Everything you need is in the apartment, and the host kindly left us pasta and marinara sauce to fix dinner after a late arrival. Clean, compact and everything worked.

Misleading, crowed bedroom, doesn't sleep 4 people

Poor, a lot of stairs to haul up. Hot upstairs AC was off. Expecting 2 bedrooms. We got one bed room and a uncomfortable couch that didn't have extra blankets and couch did not turn to bed! Place was not close to downtown or to beach!

Wonderful Getaway

My partner and I came to Manistee for a relaxing, lowkey weekend for my birthday, and we got exactly that! We had a wonderful time exploring the area, enjoying the snow, and even just hanging out in the rental. Very cozy, clean, and wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about this place! We will definitely be back.
