Great time
Loved our visit. Everything was great except the yard was a little overgrown and needed care. The home was clean and everything you need in the kitchen and bathrooms was provided.
There was an incident across the street our first morning. Neighbor called police. Three police cars came within 5 min. Seemed to be resolved after about half an hour. Rest of stay was uneventful.
I would definitely stay again. So close to town and beaches. ♥️

I could LIVE in this house!
Very comfortable and homey. Nicely decorated and conveniently located. They allow pets, so we were concerned it would smell like dog, but it did not at all! Beds were pretty comfortable, and kitchen was fully stocked. We all just loved it! Some confusion about the check-in process because it stated we were to provide a 4-digit pin but not how or when we should provide it, so I would clarify that if I were the host. I had to call the host just hours before we were going to arrive to get that information. Also, would have liked to know beforehand that parking was only available on the street (the driver was a bit finicky about her vehicle). Lastly, the backyard was quite small (no issue), but overgrown. A good weed whack and/or mow would have been nice so we could sit in our chairs on the grass. Hopefully, the host sees this all as constructive criticism only and room for improvement. Overall, we had everything we needed but tissues and bathroom spray! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Nice Property
Enjoyed our stay, house was clean and well appointed.
Quiet neighborhood about 5 blocks from the main business district.
Wasn't an issue for us but just so others are aware, all three bedrooms are on the second floor.
Would not hesitate to book again if in the area.

Home away from home
Truly relaxing home away from home with everything you need including lawn chairs and umbrella for the beach. Enjoyed sitting on the porch with morning coffee and in evenings after exploring Manistee. The host communicated well covering everything we needed to know for our stay. Bonus - ice cream only 1 block away :)

It was a nice house, very clean with comfortable beds, convenient location to town. It was just a long weekend trip with our dog, but worth the stay. We would stay at this house again when traveling to the Manistee area.

Quick Trip
The house was a bit older than the photos show but was kept up well. Nice neighborhood. The only thing I would suggest is that the back yard needs to be manicured a bit more for how small it is. Weeds and holes around the fence were unexpected for our small dog. Other than that it is a 4.5 star home. Don't hesitate to book.

Peaceful stay in Manistee
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Manistee. The house was very accommodating with a well stocked kitchen and a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of downtown Manistee. The weather wasn’t too hot for July but we were glad to have the window air conditioners so our seasonal allergies weren’t affected.
