This place has spices, food storage containers, plenty of glasses and drink ware. It is clean and fresh. Nice new appliances. There were canned cocktails in the refrigerator and plenty of ice. Beautiful flooring. Downstairs is wood floor and marble. Upstairs is carpet. The upstairs is a common area with a daybed plus a bedroom and bathroom--good for families with kids. Not private for 2 individuals. There are steps to get into this house-not accessible. Hosts are very quick to respond. 2 block walk to downtown and the Ramsdell Theater--perfect for our Christmas celebration weekend. We plan to come back here next year and do it all again!

From easy check in to easy check out, our stay was absolutely wonderful. The home is located within easy walking distance to town and is so comfortable. The bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchen were all super clean and organized. I had a couple of questions for the owner, who answered me right away. All in all an excellent stay! Highly recommend!

The property was perfectly located a couple blocks from downtown Manistee, everything was clean and tidy, the host was always available for questions, and just a few minutes drive from the beautiful beach.
