We had a great stay here this past weekend. The host was very communicative and helpful leading up to the trip. There was lots of room for all of our group. The host was having a little issue with bees but was quick to let me know and we weren’t bothered at all. This house is extremely close to downtown which made it very easy to walk everywhere. Very good food and cute shops downtown as well. We also enjoyed all the fall colors on our walks downtown or by the river. Overall very successful weekend away!

Great place for exploring Manistee

We enjoyed the neat, comfortable house and the location. Plenty room for the 11 of us and downtown Manistee was a walk away. The kitchen was well stocked for making our meals and the games and toys helped keep the kids occupied. Thanks for a great stay.

Cute decor and lots of space for a family trip!

Super cute decor, kitchen was awesome and lots of living and sleeping space for a family. We enjoyed our stay over 4th of July weekend. There is so much to do over the holiday in Manistee. This spot is close to the channel but a drive in to downtown.

We stayed here for a work trip and the house suited our needs perfectly. Bedrooms were all nice size for us to have our own private space and the common areas were large enough to hang out in all together. We will book again if we are in the area!

About the host

Hosted by Carmen Veurink

Host profile image
I am a West Michigan native. I love having four seasons (although I wish winter was shorter and summer is my favorite). I live in Spring Lake and love living so close to Lake Michigan. I enjoy reading, traveling, and coffee. I love spending time outdoors with my family – my husband, two sons, and a dog named Charlie. We enjoy hiking, biking, boating, and going to the beach.

Why they chose this property

We love being close to the channel, beach, and downtown. Manistee is such a fun town to visit! It's a great jumping off point for Northern Michigan.

What makes this property unique

What I love about this house is that it fits multiple families who want to share a vacation together! The kids room is so fun for friends or cousins to hang out in. Why choose a hotel when you can share a home? It is very cozy and comfortable.
