Great house in a great location in Manistee. Loved the indoor and outdoor spaces. The starter on the propane fire pit wasn’t working but we used a match and the fire pit was an awesome place to end the day!
We had a wonderful time here with family! The house and furnishings were very comfortable. We enjoyed the front deck and patio. There is not a dishwasher but we didn’t need one. I highly recommend this cute, comfortable house for your home base to beaches and docks on Lake Michigan.
All was well, however, it would be nice if the outdoor patio area was repaired since there were quite a few loose boards
Otherwise, everything inside the house was very neat and clean, and the kitchen was well equipped. We did have quite a bit of difficulty getting cable television, and never did get it to work.
My family enjoyed the house and the neighborhood location. When we arrived the smoke detectors kept going off so my wife contacted the property management and was informed to unplug all of them and they’d be over the next day to add batteries to all the units.
They never showed up so the smoke detectors were inactive all weekend. The kitchen cook ware should be updated as well.

Cozy home!
This is a really cute and cozy place, we appreciated the cleanliness upon arrival, the decor in the home is really cute, it's on a very quiet street, sitting on the front porch to drink coffee was very peaceful. Just a short drive to the beach or if you're feeling up for it about a 20 min walk. The outside of the home needs some attention, there are some broken boards on the patio, and the patio and front porch furniture could use an update. Our only complaint for the kitchen was there was no drying rack for drying dishes, and kitchenware also needed an update, there was no toaster that we could find, and more dishcloths should be provided for guests. Otherwise the property managing company was very attentive, the check in process was seamless, they were great, so hopefully the owneee might just consider a little TLC to these few issues and this place would be an absolute gem.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The location was excellent. We were able to walk downtown to shops and restaurants which was so convenient. We were also close to the beach and we spent a couple hours on the soft sand.
The kitchen was fully equipped with everything one would need. We did make eggs/bacon, homemade pizza and a charcuterie board during our stay. It was handy to have all the kitchen items we needed.
The unit is very clean and decorated cute. We did remove the pads from the chairs outside the house as they were moldy. But it was fine to sit without them.
Excellent communication by the management company. They give an entire e-handbook with information you would need. Super friendly and responsive.
Our only complaint are the washcloths and towels. They were horrid. Do yourself a favor and go buy a couple towels at the Meijer store in town. The ones at the unit are like sandpaper. There were no dish towels either. You are expected to do dishes but have no way to dry the dishes.
We would stay here again for sure. The benefits far out way the issues with the towels. It’s a nice and cozy VRBO.
Decent home, area is not the greatest but not in a rough neighborhood. Home is older and could use some up keep but overall a fair price for the amount of bedrooms it has.
The house it tucked into the trees in a quiet setting, and central to everything in town. There was plenty of room for our family, and exactly what we needed for a long weekend visiting family in town.
We had a wonderful stay. The house was clean and spacious. It was a short walk to the beach, downtown, and the river walk. We would definitely recommend Manistee and this house to a friend!
We enjoyed our stay at this charming historic house. It was clean, updated and well supplied with all our kitchen needs. The furniture and beds were comfy and the location was just a short walk to downtown and the Manistee River. The beaches and boat launch were 5 minutes away or less. The beaches at Manistee are amazing!
The property was very clean and well maintained. We were in town for two days to do a salmon charter both days. This house was only two blocks away from our charter which made it very convenient.
Property was as advertised, very clean inside. It would be nice to have a dishwasher and the toaster did not work, luckily I brought my own. Otherwise, it was a pleasant week at this location. Front porch steps need to be repaired and hand rail is loose.
Great house and location tucked away from busy road leading to beach. Short walk to the beach, playground, brewery and restaurants. Short drive to walk to the lighthouse on the other side of the channel. House was exactly as advertised and well kept. Would be nice to have a dishwasher but we knew that going in. House was perfect for our vacation. Lots of golf options nearby too within a short drive. Would come back here again after a great stay.
