About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Huge historic on Lake Michigan w/ large yard, fire pit, BBQ & air conditioning

Our home is a 1900’s historic charmer with updates for everyone (yep, air conditioning, high speed-wifi & big tv ;). Play games in our large backyard or finished basement, and is walking distance to the beach or restaurants - staying here is #morethanvacation.

Guests have exclusive access to enjoy the house (on one level), partial basement, back deck, and backyard area. *Note: The entire house has a separate one-bedroom apartment with a separate entrance & a deck available for booking. Reach out to me if you are interested in both areas.

Situated in a cute, historic neighborhood in downtown Manistee that’s easy and safe to walk with well-lit sidewalks, everyone around is so kind you'll think you are in the deep south. You are blocks away from 5th street beach, downtown Manistee and the canal for big-ship and drawbridge viewing :)
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Manistee Lake. Features include laundry facilities and an arcade/game room. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the vacation home.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washer/dryer, and patio
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include laundry facilities
  • Onsite recreation includes a playground
  • Just a 2-minute drive from Lake Michigan and 8 minutes from Little River Casino
As a guest of this vacation home, you'll find an arcade/game room, a garden, and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

Love the walk to downtown Manistee

Had a wonderful week with my husband and some family members at this great location, a 10 minute walk to downtown Manistee. We loved the activities in town and the great hikes nearby. Would definitely recommend this stay!

Weekend Away

We really enjoyed our weekend in Manistee at this property. There was plenty of room for all of us, close access to downtown, golf, and the beach. We really enjoyed the large living to hang out, as well as the outdoor area. Overall, we had a great experience here!

Great Family-Friendly House

We had a great time here--it was clean, cute, and the location was very good, walkable, or a quick drive to downtown or the lake. There is a nice yard and patio that we spent time on too. There is one fewer bed than the listing shows however, which inconvenienced us a bit, so that needs to be fixed.
