Great place to stay for our fall color drive

We totally enjoyed staying at Gary & Shirley's place. They were hospitable and the place was clean and beautiful right on Lake Michigan. We enjoyed walks on the beach, sitting around the fire at night, and driving to TC. Thank you for sharing this wonderful get-a-way place!

Private room with bath & separate entrance

It felt more like a rented room than a vacation rental; however, the hosts were so kind, the location is beautiful, and I'd come back just to walk the beach again.

Great fall getaway!

My husband and I enjoyed our anniversary trip at this location. There are plenty of activities to do local. Owners are friendly and quick to respond to any questions. I would recommend this for any couple trying to get a short getaway.

It was just a fantastic time!

We had the best time here. The hosts we very friendly & accommodating. The view of Lake Michigan is amazing and just a few steps down to the beach. We walked the beach collecting unique stones, went into Downtown Manistee ate and saw a movie at a very charming movie theatre. Just the best time. We'll be back!

Comfortable and Lovely space to overlook the many moods of Lake Michigan. The deck was great when the weather cooperated but when it did not, we still got to watch from the big picture window.

Couple getaway

Me and my boyfriend enjoyed our stay here. We spent most of the day sightseeing and doing things in manistee. It was nice to come back to a private beach and relax there. One thing I didn’t like is that there were people walking by the big window and they could see inside straight to the bed. It did have curtains but I didn’t like closing them because that’s were the main view of the water was.

Quiet with a View

For those looking to see a sunset over Lake Michigan, this is the place to be. Shirley and her husband greeted us when we arrived and then allowed us our privacy. The room is set up with a view to the lake while lying in bed. The patio is also freely accessible and private, giving you a chance to watch the sunset from the perfect vantage point between the trees. Great place to stay.

Wonderful hosts

Our stay was pleasant, the hosts were exceptionally nice and easy to contact. My only suggestion would be to offer a grill or microwave as the toaster oven isnt large enough to really do anything. Unfortunately the steps were damaged in a storm prior to us getting there but the view was outstanding!.

Not having a kitchen area took a little getting used to... but by the 2nd day we pretty much figured out how to operate things and life was just fine :) Shirley and Gary were great hosts. The view was breathtaking. Look forward to staying with them again next June.

3 days not enough!

Completely relaxing stay at your beautiful beachfront room! 3 days flew by so fast. Planning on coming back next year already! Our only concern was the steps down from the breakwater to the beach! Rather hard to navigate ! Good luck with the November election!

Lake Michigan lakefront property

The place was freezing cold. Took 6 hours to warm up. The kitchen floor had not been swept or cleaned. We could not get some of the streaming channels she said she had. The view was terrible. You look out to the top of the owners roof. You could see the water through only a couple windows. On the positive side they had an electric blanket on the bed, which we needed as the house just getting warm. They did offer us the bigger house at the same price as the one with no kitchen as they had a cancelation.

Sweet little place on Lake Michigan.

Overall a great couple days away. Very private, quaint place. No microwave or stove but it really wasnt an issue, as we planned ahead. Two adults two boys (12-14) would be cramped if we were not a tight nit family. Perfect for us. Place needs a bit updating, but speculate it is in the plans of the owner as the larger suite is much nicer. Wood stove for winter escapes too! Could have used four total sets of utensils bit we made it work. Loved sutting out overlooking lake Michigan in the mornings and evenings. Good times with family!

The VIEW! The SUNSETS! The WAVES!

I'll be back! I went down to the beach (13 steps, a landing, then 15 steps, then about one minute of walking through dune grass to get there, if you're curious), played in the waves, and relaxed. There was a misty day, and I followed the suggestions the host provided and found a Gravity Hill and was amazed, and went for a couple easy hikes in nature preserves. Purely by accident, the house was getting a new roof while I was there, but you can't always choose when these things happen. Luckily, down by the beach, I couldn't hear a thing, and evenings and mornings were quiet. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps another table/floor lamp or two in the living room, since the one that is there is a bit dim for reading in the evening. There were overhead lights, but they're not terribly atmospheric.
