Lovely home in a quiet location overlooking Lake Michigan. Saw Bald eagles everyday and sunsets were top notch. Home was cozy with modern amenities.

This home, with its bounty of Lake Michigan views , is a delight. A highlight was the generous porch with room for a dining set and several conversation sets too and the four of us spent lots of time there, enjoying the ever changing views of Lake Michigan. The home is pristine, and we appreciated the open floor plan and the quality of the appliances . One of our daughters was working remotely , so having the lower floor was a plus.
We explored Nordhouse Dunes, the Acadia marsh boardwalk Legacy Art Trail and the charming downtown Manistee area, all within an hour's drive. The nearby Magoon Creek Nature Reserve, just a few minutes from the house has a pleasant trail and a beach perfect for sun bathing and finding the perfect rocks for skipping.
We had such a nice time here and highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful family vacation in Manistee, MI. The home was perfect. It had everything we needed. Our daughter, son-in-law and three grandsons (ages 8, 4 and 2) were with us and we all absolutely loved the beach. The boys played in the sand and we adults loved looking for sea glass. The weather was a little cool, but that didn't bother us. We built a fire in the firepit almost every night and watched the beautiful sunsets.
There was a lot to do nearby. We went to town, riverwalk, toured the S.S. City of Milwaukee ship, visited the North Pier Lighthouse, beach and playground, Magoon Creek Natural Area, Little River Casino, Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes. We loved all of it, but we especially loved hanging around and relaxing at the house and it's beach.
Thank you for use of your wonderful home and beach!
