We highly recommend this lovely, well maintained home right on Lake Michigan. The view is fabulous from every level, from the main living/dining room to the second floor and the upper level widow's watch. We greatly enjoyed the many nooks for reading, and the wonderful decks for sunning. All of the rooms with queen size beds are very comfortable, and the decor is very pleasant. There is a market very nearby, which is so convenient for picking up extra items as needed. We also enjoyed having some of our freshly caught fish prepared for us at a local restaurant. The Glenwood in nearby Onekema was great for our celebratory meal out. Everything was very smooth with this rental and the owners have done a wonderful job of providing the items most needed, including beach towels and chairs.

Great Family Vacation

We had a wonderful time staying here. This was our first vacation with our children (ages 4 and 1). The house was incredible and we spent every evening watching sunsets from the deck. The beach was 8 - 12 steps from the house. This was VERY manageable even with small children. We were able to spend mornings at the beach, return to the home for naps, and continue our beach day into the early evening. Our children loved the home as much as we did. Our 4 year old loved to read books in the reading nook and was often found in the widow's watch doing the same thing. The town of Manistee is small with some cute shops and friendly people. This was a very restful vacation for all of us. Nothing to do but relax and soak up the sun!!

Impossible to be disappointed!

While there are several larger and very nice places along this beach row, most are just houses on the beach, but this one is truly a beach house. Aluminum siding, shingled roof, and a bay window? Forget it! Try wood shake exterior and a tin roof with glass everywhere and screened openings at the bottoom of each for bringing the breeze through the entire house. This cottage is perfectly designed and makes the best use of its space to accomodate a moderate-to-large number of both kids and adults, keeping them from running into each other as they tend to their individual vacation needs, but easily bringing them all together in one spot when it's time for whole family fun. Set a little further down the row, wake up in the morning to the dew sliding off the roof patting on the wooden deck and the fog horn in the distance; when the sun breaks through later, go swimming on the quieter and unencroached beach right outside the door or take a walk up to the large beach to join in on the water fun with others. Everything you need in the kitchen and outdoor gas grill to make some great meals (although fresh seafood is strangely difficult to track down in the stores). After you watch a sublime storm slowly move in across the lake, head inside and grab a book, as they have everything from informational books and John Grisham to David Sedaris and romance titles in the reading nook and widows peak (which is also an excellent venue for a board game). After playing a round of golf or strolling about, grab some wine and fudge from in town and prepare yourself for a long evening, because they tend to be perfect!

This is an absolutely beautiful house, with breathtaking views! We could not have asked for anything better! Every single thing we needed was at our disposal, and then some! Our experience was wonderful, from the first communication with the owner, to getting our security deposit back promptly after our stay!

We recently spent a week at this property. It was absolutely amazing and I can't recommend it enough. The other reviews are accurate so I won't be redundant. If you're headed to the area, look no further, this space is awesome!
