Worked perfect for us. The rental is an older house that was nicely updated inside. 3 separate bedrooms and 5 beds in a bonus room worked great for our guys group of 8. Only heads up is a heads up on the climb up the stairs it has a lower ceiling so don’t bump your head. Door into bonus attic room is small but worked great for us. No complaints. This worked great for us and was next door to the marina we used. Nice outside patio we chilled on.

We had a great stay! The big room upstairs was so fun for our young kids. The location is perfect- close to town and a short drive/long walk to the beach. We would absolutely stay here again.

This house worked great for our work crew! We have a remodeling job on the area and this house was a great alternative to a hotel. We put the whole crew up in this house! The accommodations were very clean and tastefully decorated. The crew was very comfortable. The full kitchen allowed us to make meals for everyone, which saved us a lot of money. Check-in and Check-out was very simple and smooth. Host was quick at responding. Even the extra parking in back worked for all of our vehicles! Highly recommend - works great for a large group!

We enjoyed the neat, comfortable house and the location. Plenty room for the 11 of us and downtown Manistee was a walk away. The kitchen was well stocked for making our meals and the games and toys helped keep the kids occupied. Thanks for a great stay.

The place was very nice and had everything we could have asked for! Lots of room for our large group (12 in total!) It was very clean and they had plenty of towels and linens for our stay. Carmen was very responsive with any questions and concerns and even left us a thank you note for when we arrived!
The location made downtown Manistee a very easy 13 minute walk and made for a great place for couples.
Thanks again for a great trip!

We just spent 8 days in Manistee for a family fishing vacation. The home was very spacious and comfortable. The location was very close to downtown and the marinas. We would definitely stay here again.

Charming old house feels. Beautiful master and an adorable, very comfortable, spacious bunk room. The air conditioning tried it's best to cool the house but certain rooms did get warm and stuffy. The common areas were very comfortable. The parking was difficult with a very small space in the front with spots in the back. It was difficult to maneuver large vehicles. The neighborhood was close to downtown but very run down. The parking lot of the apartment building was right next door. There were people sitting in their vehicle talking all day making it uncomfortable to sit on the patio. Plus the parking lot lights were on all night shining into the windows of the 1st floor bedroom because there were not window coverings. We were in Manistee for a family wedding so we stayed with in laws and cousins. The house was great for our purposes.

The house was just as the pics showed and more!! We had 10 of us and it was plenty roomy. Loved the master bedroom!! Walking distance to downtown!! It was a great time.

The bridge closure creates a traffic jam downtown which did impact our stay- no fault of the property owner. 1 of the TVs worked. Could not get the others to work. No keys initially- reached out to owner and a cleaning lady? came
over at 10:30 pm to give us the hide-a-key. 8 bath towels- bring your own if you need more. Grill is a black stone and fire pit is a solo stove. Watch your head going up the stairs if you are above 5’5”- low hanging ceiling and my husband cracked his head pretty good because he wasn’t looking up. We saw deer in back yard. Enjoyed the quiet town.

We loved the location-so close to the beach and downtown. The house is old and floors creak, but it is nicely updated. The air conditioning cools both floors but the thermostat for the heat is separate and was on, so there was a little scare when the basement got hot. The instructions should include more information on the operation of things in the home. The Internet was out for a day and all we needed to do was unplug the modem in the basement to fix it. The beds were comfortable and the room with all the beds was great for kids. There were only a few rolls of toilet paper and one roll of paper towels and we had a party of 9. There was one beach towel (we bought 2 more and left them) and two beach chairs that are quite worn. We would have packed differently had we known. I agree with another review that a table and more chairs on the patio would be nice. The patio is great for Four Square. I was so glad I brought a playground ball because this was a fun activity for all of us. We ate in for almost all our meals. The can opener hardly works and there are no spatulas for scraping jars and bowls. There is no garbage disposal. The grill outside is a griddle and there was no steel brush to clean it. The host responded quickly to any concerns or questions.

Super cute decor, kitchen was awesome and lots of living and sleeping space for a family. We enjoyed our stay over 4th of July weekend. There is so much to do over the holiday in Manistee. This spot is close to the channel but a drive in to downtown.

The house was beautiful and had plenty of room to accommodate 9 women. Carmen was very quick to respond to any questions we had. The only downside was the short doorway into the large bedroom but totally manageable.

We stayed here for a work trip and the house suited our needs perfectly. Bedrooms were all nice size for us to have our own private space and the common areas were large enough to hang out in all together. We will book again if we are in the area!

Nice clean property close to river channel and downtown. Only challenge was the 3/4 height door into the room with 5 beds for the older guys. Lots of room and supplied nice in kitchen and outside sitting area with a fire pit. Thanks!

Staid for long weekend w 7 friends and had a great time. Only downside was lack of ac in couple of bedrooms and downstairs bedroom needs a curtain in window (street light shines in currently). Would definitely stay again.

Overall we enjoyed our stay! Very close to downtown and Fifth Avenue beach! The beach is gorgeous. Plenty of room for 4 couples with 4 kids also. Only real downside that affected us is that there was no "real" air conditioning. States that the rental does have A/C but only located in two of the 3 rooms upstairs. The bunk room was the only one operating correctly. The other 2 rooms were very warm. When we weren't at the beach the house during the day the house temp was high too. The home did have plenty of fans to try and combat this but wish we knew the whole house didn't have air as our group has a pregnant woman. The patio door would benefit having a screen so that the breeze could flow through the house without the bugs coming in. Also, the patio is very large which is nice, just needs a patio table to enjoy dinner outside. Barely any lawn to speak of for the kids to play on. Not a huge deal but pictures don't show the whole lot.
Again, overall my family had a great time. We're very easy going so none of this bothered us. More or less pointing out the concerns for others.

Our family had a great stay! It was the perfect place to get together with family and share many great meals. I highly recommend checking out North Channel Brewing Company which is just a few blocks away during your stay.

Adorable VRBO
I stayed here with my husband, kids and in-laws. There was more than enough room for all of us! The house was clean, so well decorated and had a lot of old home charm. I was able to walk over to the Riverwalk every morning and enjoy the water views. Downtown is also within walking distance.
