Great, clean property with comfortable amenities. The only minor downside was that the beds were on the softer side. Cell service in the area is a bit weak, but that's just the location, not a reflection on the house or the listing itself. We'd definitely stay here again!

Great, clean and cozy location just north of Manistee and across the street from the lake. Was able to sleep with the windows open and hear the waves crashing the shore! Will stay here again if I return to the area.

Charming cabin and love all the decks. We enjoyed the firepit and lake Michigan across the main road. Large TV and lots of comfy couches was great for watching college football. Ideal location for us being not too far from downtown manistee and Arcadia Bluffs Golf 20 min away

Lovely little house.

Cute little bungalow. It had a nice main bedroom with a ceiling fan.the kitchen had plenty of cooking items and i loved all the coffee and tea options. Plenty of beach towels to use. Really a lovely place to have a quiet holiday. Beach at Manistee about 15 minutes away. Manistee is a great little town with quaint small town charm.

Beautiful, spacious place. Great backyard. Quiet. On a two lane road that is listed as suitable but is less than ideal for biking or walking, but only 10 minute drive to Manistee a cool town with fun food options and great beaches. No direct lake access (lake is across the street and separated by private homes and access).
