We stayed 5 nights at the Shaffer Haus in beautiful Manistee. The space is charming, comfortable and very well appointed. The owners are friendly, attentive and welcoming. I can’t imagine a better place to stay in Manistee. You’re with walking distance to beaches, shopping, dining, entertainment and more. We loved our stay.

This property has been one of the best that we have stayed in. My wife and I had a wonderful experience and look forward to coming back to Manistee and enjoying this incredible place. The property owners were wonderfully hospitable and went above and beyond to make sure our day was exceptional.

Like Manistee itself, this property is a hidden gem. The riverfront location is central to the charming Victorian downtown area. We appreciated the thoughtful interior updates, especially in the kitchen and bathroom, that modernize the space while preserving its historic character. Central A/C was a bonus. We look forward to staying here again for our next visit.

Overall the property and location are great.
A small issue with loud (presumably drunk) people wandering River street at night and and into the early morning. Although this is to be somewhat expected on a Saturday night in summer.
This is not a problem with the property or the owners, they are great.

We loved our stay here. It is such a beautifully designed property that has everything we needed. All the best dining options are a short walk. The town is adorable. We loved the back patio with the views of the river! It was private but also in the center of town! We would love to return!

Great location for downtown Manistee. Anita and Pat are great hosts and very responsive to questions. Place was very clean and exactly what we needed. Would stay again for sure.
