We enjoyed our stay in this antique home. Everything is in good working condition, and it has character. (Clawfoot bathtub! Creepy basement that looks like it's from Blair Witch Project! Slanted ceilings upstairs and original wood staircase!) That said, this house has just the basics inside and nothing extra. For exampe, there's a frying pan, but not a mixing bowl. There's *one* cutting board, but not a complete set of measuring cups. No fridge magnets, no pens, no spatula. We purchased and gifted to the house room darkening curtains for the front bedroom (you're welcome), but guests in the other rooms will want to bring a sleep mask or additional window treatments to block out light.
Also note, there are two window AC units - one upstairs, and one downstairs. They work well, but if the weather is very hot, they'll be working very hard to cool the entire house. There is a box fan available in each of the upstairs bedrooms.
Also note, contrary to the listing, the washer and dryer in the basement are free (not coin operated). But you must bring your own flashlight to go downstairs! The steps are pitch black even in the middle of the day.
We had only pleasant interactions with the neighbors and saw a momma deer and her fawn grazing on the lawn across the street early one morning. The house is conveniently located near the beach and downtown Manistee.

Cute house in a quiet neighborhood. Got to explore it all by walking and meeting cute dogs. Walk to the beach is about 10 minutes but we drove which was less than 5 minutes., and Lake Michigan is beautiful. Downtown Manistee was a nice area to walk through. Supermarkets are not far which was convenient for us. Overall our stay was nice and pleasant. We enjoyed our stay at the house. Thank you.

It is a renovated older house with character that was located within great proximity of the activities that we had planned. It is located just down the street from a very nice downtown Manistee. Everyone we encountered in the area were very nice and helpful.

Very nice spacious house. It was clean. Very large bedrooms. My only complaint is that there is a approximately 1” ledge step up between the living room and dining room that I stubbed my toe on bad! Other than that, no issues.

We enjoyed a pleasant stay with close access to the First Street Beach (and its amazing wooden playground for our kids) and a central location to explore some attractions in Arcadia and Ludington.

It was okay, a few of the pieces of furniture were broken… The home was very warm for having “AC” which is just one window unit in the stairway. All of the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were well stocked. We enjoyed the patio area as well. It’s a great neighborhood, super nice neighbors!

It was fine. My only complaint is the floors were very sticky and had a few wet spots when we arrived, like they'd cleaned really quickly and left residue on the floor. Also, there were no bathroom towels/wash cloths or extra rolls of toilet paper and only 5 drops of dishsoap left when we got there. Once I ASKED for these things, they had them dropped off. Upstairs shower is great and really comfy beds, also used fans at night. We loved the grill.

We had a family trip for a few days and really enjoyed the space. A lot of room to spread out and pretty much everything you need for a vacation stay. Location to beach, river walk, and downtown was fantastic. Would have liked a few more kitchen towels and hooks/hanging bars, but I say that about every rental we’ve ever done😊 Would definitely stay here again, Manistee was a great destination.

Enjoyed staying at this home which was a mix of older architecture and new. It was great to have the option of either walking or taking car to downtown and the beach. Great for taking dog to the beach nearest the house (go to the left for the dog side). Caught a concert in the park and lots of great places to eat. Would go back again!

We have been coming to Manistee for 30+ years, usually staying at the local Days Inn or other hotel. Decided to to the house rental this time and Shelley was the perfect host! We may have had a bit of a rough start but it was something that couldn't have been avoided and was quite quickly forgotten. The house, neighborhood and hosts were the best part of a wonderful relaxing long weekend. We do plan to come back, many more times.

Great stay in a quiet neighborhood
As described. Recently renovated. Plenty of parking and a quiet neighborhood. Had to take one star of only for the beds. They were not the most comfortable. Other than that, very enjoyable stay.

House was as advertised. Had an issue with lack of heat on arrival. Response from manager and owner was quick and professional within 5 minutes. They were unable to repair hvac so they brought space heaters that were more than adequate. Owner offered a gift card to compensate for disruption. House was generally clean but we did have to redo some Dishes and there were a few dead light bulbs. Worth one star deduction. I’d stay here again
