About the host
Hosted by Emily
Hi! Alec and Emily here. We are a local family in Manistee who live a short walk away from your rental, should you need anything during your stay. Alec is an electrical engineer and Emily is a veterinarian who owns her own mobile practice here in Manistee. (So, if you have a pet emergency while on vacation, don’t hesitate to call her!) We have two sweet babies, two dogs, a cat, and some chickens. Some of our favorite hobbies include long-distance running, trail hiking, foraging, fishing and hunting, beaching, cross-country skiing, reading, traveling, painting, and puzzles.
We have traveled the world together and still feel that this is hands-down the BEST place to live. As hosts, we are SO excited to share the beauty of our little town with you! Welcome welcome welcome! We look forward to helping you have the most memorable, FUN, and stress-free vacation possible.
We are more than happy to share details with our guests about our favorite areas for exploring, semi-private beaches, best restaurants, and whatever piques your interest while staying in Manistee.

What makes this property unique
This bungalow of ours is an optical illusion. It is incredible. You can walk by it and think “that’s a cute, little house.” Once you are inside, however, it is not little at all! It nearly seems impossible that so much space exists inside what appears to be a small home. The kitchen is quite spacious, with endless cabinet and counter space, a step-down pantry, and a breakfast island with chairs. Opening up into a large dining room with a table that seats six. The dining room is open-concept with the living room, creating a welcoming atmosphere for dining, relaxing, and conversation amongst large groups. There are three bedrooms on the main floor with enough beds to sleep five people comfortably. There are three beds in the loft, and a queen bed in the full basement. All-in-all, you can sleep eleven individuals in one home and still enjoy plenty of extra space. The layout is convenient for multi-family trips, because each floor provides a separate living space with multiple beds.
Aside from the design, the location of this property is premium. You cannot beat being able to walk into town or spend the day at the beach and not worry about having a long drive home. If you are at the house and decide you want to go catch the sunset on the beach, you only need five minutes to drive there.
