Manistee fishing trip
The main floor of the house allowed enough room for 7 adults to move freely. At no point in time did we feel limited by space. The fire pit and seating area in the backyard were a great way to enjoy the evening, especially with the firewood provided by the property. The only down side was the bedrooms with twin beds. Due to the age of the house it does not have central air. The bedrooms with the twin beds had box fans but could get hot during the summer months. Luckily during our stay the weather was cool so we could open the windows. Overall the house is very nice and provided a relaxing environment. The house is only a few blocks from downtown which made for a nice walk to and from dinner.

Lovely home in a lovely town
We had a great week in this Manistee charmer. With having 1 son and 5 daughters, it can be tricky to find accommodations where everyone has the beds and privacy that they need, and this house fit the bill. I loved that it is in a very quiet neighborhood, across the street from a school playground and just minutes from 2 Lake Michigan beaches and the quaint downtown area. There's quite a bit to do in the area, yet it is not overly touristy. Very relaxing and beautiful area to stay in. We hope to be back again in the future.

Great For Families
This is a nicely cared-for older home in a quiet neighborhood across from a school with a playground and close to downtown Manistee. Four bedrooms -- 3 with double beds, 1 split room with 4 twins. It was perfect for our family vacation and accomodated 4 adults and 3 kids comfortably. The owners are thoughtful in their provisions: there are beach chairs, beach towels, and box fans available for use if needed and there are a few basics in the kitchen that were helpful. Overall, a very comfortable place to stay.
