Manistee, Michigan is where relaxation and all-season adventures intersect at Lake Michigan and the Manistee National Forest. Navigate Manistee is a 3-story townhome in the Harbor Village resort-like community with amenities that include a year-round indoor pool and hot tub, seasonal outdoor pool and hot tub, fitness room, marina full of nautical eye candy, playground, sand volleyball court, and an outdoor community fire pit. Harbor Village sits along the pure, magical shores of Lake Michigan where you can sun and swim at 5th Avenue Beach, and then have a beach bonfire or walk the North Pierhead Lighthouse to catch the stunning sunset.

The 3 floors of this townhome offer our guests the space they need without being on top of each other all week. Upon entry, the main floor open plan layout invites our guests to relax in the living room with a Smart TV and streaming apps, entertain at the dining table that seats 6 and a peninsula with 3 additional stools, and enjoy a coffee overlooking the marina and outdoor pool which are basically your backyard! The kitchen boasts stainless-steel appliances with filtered refrigerator water and air fryer technology with the oven. There’s a half-bathroom, coat closet, and access to the 1-car garage.

The second-floor sleeps 6 beginning with a spacious landing that houses a twin daybed with a trundle bed and lounge chair. Sliding glass doors lead out to an open-air balcony with four chairs so you could end the evening star gazing. The Primary Bedroom has a queen bed, double closet, dresser, nightstands, picture windows with room darkening shades, and a ceiling fan. The second bedroom has two twin beds, a dresser, a walk-in closet, room darkening shades, and a ceiling fan. A full bathroom with a tub and removable shower head is also on this floor.

The Lower Level features a family room (AKA bedroom) with a queen sofa sleeper, a Smart TV with Roku, picture windows, ceiling fan, books, an electric mini-fireplace, and a door for privacy. The lower-level walks out onto a ground level patio with a bistro table and chairs. This back entrance makes for a handy "mudroom" for your wet beach/pool towels or your winter snow gear. There's a double closet for guests, and an office with a desk, lamp, and small chest of drawers. The Laundry Room via the office boasts a large capacity washer and dryer with a tub sink (detergent included!). A full bathroom with a stand-up shower completes the Lower Level. There are hair dryers in both full bathrooms. For those who still need to be connected or are working remotely, the Wi-Fi has 300 Mbps download speeds for streaming and/or video calls. A pack and play and booster chair are also available to guests.

The best part of your home-away is the easy 10-minute walk to the beach through the marina and along sidewalks, where our wagon with monster wheels and our a cooler on wheels will simplify getting there. We have spare beach chairs and sand toys to help you ease up on packing. It's a breezy 15-minute walk or short bike ride to the Manistee Riverwalk and the downtown eateries and shops.

For the adventure enthusiasts, there are plenty of nearby activities like hiking, biking, camping, skiing at two resorts, kayaking, fishing, kitesurfing, or whatever your experience calls for in the adjacent Manistee National Forest and nearby parks. Experience a tranquil nearby pleasure hike at Orchard Beach State Park or Magoon Creek, or plan longer hikes or biking within 20-minutes with the many 'choose your own' Manistee National Forest adventure trails. Take advantage of "cheater" camping at Nordhouse Dunes, go on a kayaking or tubing adventure on the Manistee River, or use Fall as the excuse to drive up M-22 for the most vivid, picturesque Fall color tour, visiting the darling seaside towns along the way. Don’t forget to take in the view atop Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore or Arcadia Dunes. For the winter getaway, ski at Crystal Mountain or Caberfae Peaks, take a sleigh ride, and swim in the indoor pool and hot tub; then warm up in front of the toasty fireplace. And don’t forget there is always the exciting Little River Casino, if you're up for fun and games, or just want a few more food options.
