6 bedroom Cottage in Manistee on Lake Michigan. Stairs to private beach

We had a great time in this Manistee home on Lake Michigan. The sunset and lake views were gorgeous, the beach access was excellent, and the quiet neighborhood was welcoming. This home is under new management, and they are well on their way to making the necessary changes and fixes to get the house up to a five-star rating.

Family vacation Every year we head up to Manistee for a Fourth of July family vacation. This year we decided to stay farther out of town than normal. The place was wonderful and isolated and offered a completely different vibe than staying in or near the city.

Great Weekend! The property is stunning, the view from the house is spectacular, and the deck was perfect for relaxing and taking in the view. Beach access was great.

Great deck overlooking the Big Lake We were five older adults (2 couples and a single),and were able to put each household on their own floor with their own bathroom and a king bed, which was great. The kitchen is very nicely stocked with pans, knives, dishes, etc, which made it much easier to have family dinners together. The deck is really terrific. Our only caution is that there is a house being constructed next door. The foundation is pretty close to done, but we got one morning of the constant beep beep of earth-moving equipment. They didn't start til 8:00am, but 2 of the 5 of us were from the West Coast which meant it was 5:00 am their time. Not so idyllic. Only happened one morning, don't know how much more beeping will occur. The hosts were great answering questions ("where's the Kreurig"?) and we felt they'd take care of anything that might come up.

We really enjoyed our time at this property. We’re already considering a longer trip next summer.

Fantastic Stay Spent a few days here with the family. House is beautiful and kitchen has everything you need. Kids loved roasting s’mores on the fire. Fantastic view of Lake Michigan. Took a polar plunge which was refreshing. Owners were excellent hosts with timely and helpful communication. Would definitely stay here again.
