The cabin was in a nice location. Seen deers everyday plus in the front yard and backyard. We took a walk i day in the woods behind the house and there was this one deer that was just folliwing us. It was awesome. We love deers and nature

We enjoyed the lovely deck, beautiful trees, birds, deer! Very quiet. Very nice shower and the extra 1/2 bath was very nice.

Cottage was perfect for us. It had a well stocked kitchen that was perfect for our needs. The furniture was comfortable. Beach wasn't really walking distance for two 70 yr olds, but we would likely have driven anyway to accommodate chairs and towels. Spent a lovely day at the beach. Shopped Manistee downtown on the day it rained. Very thriving and friendly downtown.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
We liked the location and the layout of the cottage was nice with two bathrooms and plenty of drawers in both, making it super user-friendly. The kitchen remodel was also nice - all worked well - sinks, shower, toilets, etc. However, the wood laminate floors need to be cleaned thoroughly throughout the cottage. We also had to clean the deck and the chairs on the deck so we could use them. My husband had to clean the garbage container because is smelled so bad and it was parked next to the deck. We actually moved it away from the deck while cleaning until the smell was no longer a problem. Also recommend an update on the TV - Roku TV was challenging to operate and it had a constant automated voice that spoke throughout while in use. A comfortable couch for the living room is must- current couch is small and outdated and very uncomfortable. It would be nice to have another comfortable reclining chair as well.
