Class of 73
House worked out great for group of 18 people. We had two people unable to do the stairs and it worked out fine. Within an hour of all we wanted to do. Restaurant/Bar right behind the house with good food. Special care needed to be taken in house due to hardwood floors and some nice tables/antiques but everyone was happy to comply.

Large home just as described. Nicely renovated. A few little oddities but made the home unique. Close to dunes and town. Nice hot tub and fire pit. Lots of spices in kitchen.

family trip
My siblings and our kids rented the manor for a quick summer trip. There was plenty of space, the location was great and the house was really unique. We would book again.

Historic House with lots of space near fantastic Silver Lake
Large house with plenty of gathering space and bedrooms for an entire family. Service and attentiveness of property managers quick and thorough. As a historic home, this property has its share of quirks that are important to know about to make sure it will work for your group.

Michigan Manor is the Max!
With the flavor of an 1800s camp lodge, but all the amenities you could ask for, the Manor was a great choice for our trip to Michigan. We had several friends with us and used all eight of the bedrooms! Even then, the house was spacious enough that everyone was comfortable, and the kitchen was fully outfitted, as well! Definitely a return stay for our next trip!

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because it was adjacent to existing property that we already owned. The house was in disrepair and needed much love and attention. It was built in 1888 and was brought upon to date in 1920 when they added on and installed indoor plumbing! It was then used as a boarding house. Eventually turned into a residence and the history was lost until 2009 when we purchased it and renovated her.

What makes this property unique

The original White pine hard wood floors that were installed in 1888
