The open-plan living space of this home has been designed to let natural light flow in, and there are spectacular views of the lake from almost every angle.

It has a sumptuous queen bed and a private outdoor terrace where you can enjoy a peaceful start to the day with your morning coffee in hand. On the lower level, you’ll find a second guest room with a full double bed and a third room with twin bunks. Both rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated, and have unobstructed views of the surrounding nature. There are two newly-renovated bathrooms at the property for added convenience.
The vast outdoor space of this property is where your group will love spending sunny, relaxing days together. Multiple decks give you plenty of outdoor seating options and the surrounding trees and secluded location ensure you can enjoy your space in ultimate privacy. Stairs lead directly to a private waterfront deck where you can catch some rays, enjoy picnic lunches, and splash around in the lake.
When the sun goes down, light the fire pit, pull up an Adirondack chair, and enjoy memorable evenings under the stars. There’s also a grill for guests to BBQ on, an outdoor shower for rinsing off after time out on the lake, plus a garage with an EV charger and plenty of additional parking.

Great place for us to stay as a family. The beach access was better than I anticipated from the pictures. The kitchen was very nice. Excellent quality cookware and knives, not what you would expect in a rental.

Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed the home. The Lake levels are down so the beach is looking great this year! Hope you'll come stay with us again soon! - Tim Riley, Owner BVR
The property was just as described with excellent room for 2-3 couples to have a relaxing weekend. Kitchen is incredibly well stocked and views from lakeshore dock are first class at sunset!
The location is a great, with 20-40 minute drive times to many beaches, small towns, shopping and the Sleeping Dunes park for hiking. We will be back!

Well appointed home that was very clean and comfortable for our group. Great location on the lake and close to golf and a fun little downtown area in Manistee. Property owners / managers were very responsive to all questions and requests. Highly recommend!

We had never been to this part of Michigan and it is beautiful. There are tons of things to do and this house was just as beautiful. We had a little issue when we got there and the owners were very responsive which made all the difference. We would absolutely recommend for a family.

We had such a great time at this property. Could not have been a better house for our group of friends on a golf trip (Arcadia Bluffs). Super calm and quiet...Amazing waterfront views and sunsets...Grilled out, campfires...What's not to love? Will definitely come back!

Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the house and those fantastic views. Can't wait to host you again soon! – Tim Riley, CENTURY 21 Boardwalk Vacation Rentals
Absolutely beautiful home, extremely comfortable and amazingly well appointed, especially when it comes to the beautiful and spacious kitchen. Grounds are spacious as well and the view from the deck of Lake Michigan is so all encompassing you will never want to leave. As we discovered you can have your groceries delivered to the door from the nearby Meijer's, you truly never need to leave! We rarely return to rentals as there is so much out there still to explore, but this wonderful property is on our permanent short list.

Wow, great to hear! So glad the house worked well for your time in Manistee! Looking forward to hosting you again in the future! - Tim Riley, Owner BVR
All the previous reviews were spot on. If they don't have it in the kitchen or in general then you probably don't need it. Very relaxing house and area. The only hit we would give it is the windows all had large amounts of cobwebs in them and for the cleaning fee you pay the property manager or guests shouldn't have to look at those all week.

Thanks for the great feedback, sorry to hear about the exterior of the property. We'll get that cleaned up right away. Hope you'll come stay with us again soon - Tim Riley, Owner C21 Boardwalk Vacation Rentals
Everything about staying in this house was perfect. The house was immaculate, well appointed, and fully stocked with anything we would need. The house was gorgeous in design as was the grounds around it. We loved the fire pit and enjoying sunsets over the lake. The only peculiarity was the beach access, as there really was no beach due to the high lake level. There was a pier with a ladder that you could climb down and swim in the lake. But due to beach erosion you couldn’t walk up and down the beach like I usually like to do in Michigan. But I wouldn’t let this stop anyone from renting this beautiful property, I just thought it was worth clarifying since the beach situation is not entirely clear from the photos.

Thanks for leaving the wonderful and honest feedback. It's greatly appreciated! We're very happy to hear you enjoyed the stay and the rental worked out well for you and your family. Thank you for detailing the shoreline, we are updating photos now to ensure an accurate representation of the Lake. These record high water levels are making it difficult, as the shoreline is constantly changing these days! - C21 Boardwalk Vacation Rental Management

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
mattress and furniture need updating
First the good - the kitchen is terrific. There is everything you can imagine you would need. Even the knives are sharp. A cook's dream. The setting is gorgeous with lots of outdoor gathering space. It close to lots of outdoor activities.
Now for the not so good - the furniture is all IKEA and really uncomfortable. The mattress is about 4 in thick. It was like sleeping on a trampoline.
My overall impression is that if the cost was about half as much it would have been a great value. At the price that we paid, I expected a great deal more.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback! We're happy you enjoyed the stay and the kitchen and outdoor spaces worked well for your time at the house. Sorry to hear the furniture wasn't to your liking, this is the first negative feedback we had received about it. The mattress in the master bedroom has been changed out as of August 2021. Again, thank you for the feedback! - Tim Riley, C21 Boardwalk Vacation Rentals
Incredible views of Lake Michigan throughout the property itself and the grounds. Access to the deck/platform raised just above the water’s edge may be a bit steep for guests that may struggle with mobility but for our purposes it was great.
A previous commenter made mention of the furnishings. Our view is that they are on style for the modern lines of the house but they are chosen more for their utility as this is a rental designed for a continual flow of guests. It was a nonissue in our book but if you are looking for a true boutique experience this may not be a fit. However, you would be missing out on a lot pluses-including the proximity to both downtown Manistee and Onekama. And if you are lucky with the weather like us (sometimes a rarity in Michigan) you’ll be treated to magnificent sunset views and access to the lake which, while rocky at first, boasts a sandbar that stretches a great distance. Perfect for swimming or a cooling walk in knee high water when the lake is calm.
The property is closer to your neighbors then visible on the listing but maintains a sense of seclusion nonetheless. Most guests will not even make this observation, and again, it was a nonissue for us. Plenty of privacy to go around.
All positive comments about the kitchen are true but you’ll easily find yourself tempted not to make full use of it due to the number of dining options within a 10 to 30 min drive from the property.
We would definitely recommend a stay. It’s worth the price.

Thanks so much for the detailed, thoughtful feedback on this great rental home! You are spot on with regards to the furniture. The owners thoughtfully choose furniture that was both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Not an easy feat at a Lake house with lots of wet suites and sand! We truly appreciate the feedback and hope you'll stay with us again soon! - Tim Riley, Owner C21 Boardwalk Vacation Rentals
House was amazing and the views breathtaking. It rained most of our trip, but we still enjoyed the ambience of the house and location. We will definitely make the trip back.
