About this house rental
This is a unique 4,250 sq ft 1940's cottage on a low bluff that has been completely updated, expanded and renovated to maintain the feel of the original
property. It is 'on the beach' with 160 feet of lakefront - three times the size of most of the properties in this beautiful enclave of Manistee. Located 4 miles from downtown Manistee, this cottage is it's own slice of heaven.....very private and lovely.
There is a gourmet kitchen, beautiful original stone fireplace that is used year round, and the grounds are spectacular. Large front (Lakeside) patio is perfect for a late evening bbque and sunset. The back (street side) patio is perfect for coffee while the sun comes up. There are hiking trails within walking distance. Great biking routes and you can even bike into town. Currently, because of the high water levels, we have sandy cove instead of endless walkable beachand we have a massive seawall which has a very large sandy area with a firepit and seating. This is a private seawall for our property. There is easy accessibility to our private beach cove. And there are large beaches at both of the public beaches in town with playgrounds. This is the perfect getaway for a family.
This is a private home - It is smoke free and pets free. We do
not accept large groups who just want to have a party house - we
are respectful of our neighbors and we request our renters to
maintain a peaceful decorum. Please no fireworks and ensure that the beach fire is completly out before leaving the beach.

This is by far the most wonderful place we have ever stayed. Very spacious. It has vestiges of old lake cottage charm with modern amenities especially in the newer addition of the home. The home has a wonderful view of lake Michigan, while the shade trees protect you from the sun if you remain close to the house. A very charming vacation place.

Beautiful beach front setting. Perfect for our family gathering. We only wish that we could have stayed longer. (Home away from home)

Loved the location on the beach. There are plenty of gathering spaces in the house. We painted rocks, went for walks on the beach.

We escaped the Covid craziness with a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable family stay at Jill's lakefront cottage with our two adult daughters and their husbands. Jill is a wonderful host and she was accessible and accommodating. The cottage itself is charming and well maintained. Everything you need is there, from a well-stocked kitchen to cozy furnishings to beautiful sunsets and cooling breezes. The location is ideal - just north of Manistee. So close enough for shopping, and golf but far enough to feel removed and quiet. Thank you Jill for letting us enjoy your place, the family time together was cathartic and just what we all needed.
