We really enjoyed the home for our race weekend. The location was a bit challenging to find in the dark with sketchy cell coverage. We should have printed a map of the location ahead of time. The house is very clean, cute and quiet. I would stay here again.

The home was very nice and clean. The beds were not the most comfortable, also needed better pillows. But over all a very nice place. I would for sure recommend it.

Great little "Up North" place to stay
We were staying for a weekend trip, with 6 of us in total. The property is recently renovated, very comfortable, and perfect for us. Pretty well appointed, and a great location for our adventures. The area is beautiful, and would make a great place for anyone who is hiking, riding bikes, and likely snowmobiling in the winter.

Perfect Stay
House was perfect for our visit to Manistee. It was spotless and had everything we needed. Short drive to sequoia trees and Lake Michigan for fireworks at the forest festival. Thank you!
