House was clean, cozy, and overall a perfect stay for out-of-towners heading to a concert at nearby Little River casino. Host was pleasant and responsive; he even added some holiday touches. During our stay it snowed a fair amount and special care was taken to clear the driveway while we were out! Would definitely stay again!

We were in town for a wedding so we only stayed the weekend, but the property was great for our little family. I have two toddlers so when choosing rentals I look for the least amount of damage my kids could do as possible. I appreciated the tasteful simplicity of the decor. The large yard was great for the kids. Would definitely stay again if life brought us that way.

Manistee Fishing Trip

We arrived to a clean property that looked as expected. The home was cozy and welcoming and the location was a relaxing quiet neighborhood. Fire pit and grill were great touches. The owner answered my messages quickly. It was nice to be a short 10 minute drive from our charters dock. Having the Meijer’s right across the road was so convenient. Both breweries in town are great stops and if your craving pizza Big Al’s was excellent.

Golf Trip

We had 6 members in my group for a 4 day/3 night weekend stay. This home suited us well for our stay. For sleeping arrangements we had two sleeping in the master bedroom, two in the bunk room, one on the pullout in the living room and one on a cot we brought. So as long as your group is okay with close quarters for sleeping this stay will workout just fine for you. Despite rainy weather conditions throughout the weekend thus causing us to have increased indoor activities, the house accommodated us rather well. The house was clean in every aspect with an updated bathroom. Having air conditioning after a long day on the course was a must for my group and this homes Payne A/C system had no issues maintaining a cool temperature through the home. Brandon our host was easy to communicate with and responded to any questions in a timely manner. This stay was exactly what my group (budget conscientious) was looking for. Would recommend this house to anyone with similar wants and needs as my group. Would most definitely return for another stay in the future! Thanks again Brandon!

About the host

Hosted by Paige

Host profile image
Born and raised in Manistee. Though I currently live in Byron Center, my heart and my roots are still in Manistee. Growing up as a "local" gave me a deep appreciation for the Lake, the River, and the Community here.

"Locals Landing" is my personal home away from home. When I'm not there enjoying it myself, I love opening the doors to others so they can catch a glimpse of why this area is so special. Whether you're here for the world-class fishing on the Big Manistee, a beach day at Lake Michigan, or a night at the Casino, I enjoy helping guests experience the town exactly like a local would.

Why they chose this property

This isn't just a neighborhood to me—it’s home. I actually grew up on this very street, and my parents still live just a few doors down! When the opportunity came to own Locals Landing, I jumped at it because I know exactly how special this specific pocket of Manistee is. It’s the kind of place where you know your neighbors, and the pace of life just slows down the moment you pull into the driveway.

It’s the perfect balance of "quiet" and "close." What I enjoy most is the total peacefulness of the backyard. Even though you're minutes from the Casino and Meijer, the house backs up to beautiful woods, offering privacy you won't find at a hotel.

Whether I’m unwinding after a long day of exploring Lake Michigan or entertaining friends on the deck, the large yard feels like a private sanctuary. It’s a place where you can hear the wind in the trees and truly disconnect, all while being "smack dab" in the middle of everything Manistee has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The "Best of Both Worlds" Location
Most Manistee rentals are either buried in the busy downtown or stuck in the sandy hustle of the beach. Locals Landing is purposefully "off the beaten path." We offer a peaceful, wooded sanctuary that’s still minutes away from everything. You get the quiet you crave with the convenience of a Meijer right across the highway—perfect for stocking the chef's kitchen without a drive across town.

A Launchpad for Adventure
Because we are centrally located, we are the ultimate home base for Northern Michigan. You are "smack dab" between the Casino and the Lake, less than a mile from the Big Manistee River, and perfectly positioned for easy day trips to places like Traverse City or Sleeping Bear Dunes.

A Tailored Experience
I didn't just fill a house with furniture; I curated a space for gathering and unwinding.

The Social Hub: A semi-open floor plan and chef’s kitchen designed for family meals.

The Reset: A custom shower with dual heads and premium water pressure to wash off the sand or the river after a long day.

The Rest: High-end beds and blackout curtains in every room, because a vacation is only as good as the sleep you get.
