We usually spend our summer vacation at an NC or SC beach. This year we switched it up, and drove 14 hours to Manistee. This house was perfect for our family of 5. Everything was "just right," from the layout to the amenities, and the proximity to the lake/beach couldn't be beat. Driving home we all agreed this was our best summer trip yet.

The property was everything we thought it would be and more. We had no needs because everything was supplied. The atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. There was thought given to all aspects of what is offered. We especially loved the shuffleboard and the campfire. The video consoles were a big hit with all of us. Sitting outside overlooking the lake with a cup of coffee in the morning gave every day a great start.

Family-friendly place with lots of games, books and arcade games for the grandkids especially on a rainy afternoon. Also enjoyed playing shuffleboard. Beautiful, private beach that the family enjoyed. Kitchen was very well stocked with cooking supplies - pretty much everything you need to prepare a good meal. The grandparents stayed in Bedroom 3 - Bunkie. This may not be convenient for those of a certain age that need to use the bathroom a few times during the night. We understood that it was a separate entrance but did not fully understand that we would need to walk up some stairs in the backyard then up the porch steps to access the hallway to the bathroom. The bunkie bedroom was a little musty and could have been because it was not used for a while. Overall, the rental was great and felt like "home". The sunsets were incredible! Our family had a great time.

The house was not clean when we arrived. The bedsheets were dirty, stained and had hair on them. When we went downstairs, there was cobwebs everywhere and several spiders in the shower. Be careful when you rent here as the listing states two bathrooms, but the second one is in the basement. The basement has low ceilings and is only partially fixed up, so not the nicest to go down there in the middle of the night to use the bathroom.
They’re also cobwebs in the sunroom over the table and lamp area.
I contacted the owner and she initially apologized, but then said the stains on the sheets were probably just rust stains from the washer. She then sent over a cleaning crew to clean the beds and the basement. That night the cleaning crew came out to the house. They were very friendly and professional. They ended up changing and washing all the sheets and bedding for us. They also went to the store to buy bug spray and new bedspreads as the all of them in the house were dirty. They spent 3 1/2 hours cleaning and setting up the rooms for us which was very helpful. But it was after 11 o’clock at night by the time we got to bed.
We trip the breaker in the basement when we ran the microwave and coffee maker at the same time so be careful. Several of the dishes and glasses we used were dirty, and had to be re-cleaned before we used them.
The location was stunning and beautiful. There was lots of amenities inside and outside of the house for the renters to use.
