Great little place right on the lake

Wonderful little place on Lake Michigan. Great views and good restaurants in the area. The wood stove was nice on a cool, late spring stay.

Private room with bath & separate entrance

It felt more like a rented room than a vacation rental; however, the hosts were so kind, the location is beautiful, and I'd come back just to walk the beach again.

Great place to stay for our fall color drive

We totally enjoyed staying at Gary & Shirley's place. They were hospitable and the place was clean and beautiful right on Lake Michigan. We enjoyed walks on the beach, sitting around the fire at night, and driving to TC. Thank you for sharing this wonderful get-a-way place!

It was just a fantastic time!

We had the best time here. The hosts we very friendly & accommodating. The view of Lake Michigan is amazing and just a few steps down to the beach. We walked the beach collecting unique stones, went into Downtown Manistee ate and saw a movie at a very charming movie theatre. Just the best time. We'll be back!

Everything as advertised

The location was beautiful. Great view of lake michigan. Getting down to the beach involved alot of stairs but they were very well constructed and maintained. Our hosts when we saw them we very friendly. Only issue we had was the door separating the suite and their house was a hollow core door which we could hear everything going on next door. Definitely would recommend to other couples looking to get away

Not having a kitchen area took a little getting used to... but by the 2nd day we pretty much figured out how to operate things and life was just fine :) Shirley and Gary were great hosts. The view was breathtaking. Look forward to staying with them again next June.

Couple getaway

Me and my boyfriend enjoyed our stay here. We spent most of the day sightseeing and doing things in manistee. It was nice to come back to a private beach and relax there. One thing I didn’t like is that there were people walking by the big window and they could see inside straight to the bed. It did have curtains but I didn’t like closing them because that’s were the main view of the water was.

View of Lake Michigan was awesome, sunsets were beautiful. Owners were friendly and accommodating. Room did have a slightly musty smell and the hair dryer does need to be replaced, but overall we were not disappointed.

Relaxing!

The owners were kind enough to help us with rebooking twice! And it was worth the effort. We enjoyed having direct access to Lake Michigan for long walks along the beach as well as quiet evenings on the deck serenaded by wind & waves. Can’t wait to return!

peaceful getaway with fantastic views

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay here on the way up north to a family wedding. We had a fabulous time walking the beach and swimming in the lake. The cottage is situated in a very quiet and relaxing setting, and it felt like we had our own private beach space to play and enjoy. Owners were kind and helpful. Spectacular sunsets and views!!!
