The house was just as the pics showed and more!! We had 10 of us and it was plenty roomy. Loved the master bedroom!! Walking distance to downtown!! It was a great time.

The bridge closure creates a traffic jam downtown which did impact our stay- no fault of the property owner. 1 of the TVs worked. Could not get the others to work. No keys initially- reached out to owner and a cleaning lady? came over at 10:30 pm to give us the hide-a-key. 8 bath towels- bring your own if you need more. Grill is a black stone and fire pit is a solo stove. Watch your head going up the stairs if you are above 5’5”- low hanging ceiling and my husband cracked his head pretty good because he wasn’t looking up. We saw deer in back yard. Enjoyed the quiet town.

We loved the location-so close to the beach and downtown. The house is old and floors creak, but it is nicely updated. The air conditioning cools both floors but the thermostat for the heat is separate and was on, so there was a little scare when the basement got hot. The instructions should include more information on the operation of things in the home. The Internet was out for a day and all we needed to do was unplug the modem in the basement to fix it. The beds were comfortable and the room with all the beds was great for kids. There were only a few rolls of toilet paper and one roll of paper towels and we had a party of 9. There was one beach towel (we bought 2 more and left them) and two beach chairs that are quite worn. We would have packed differently had we known. I agree with another review that a table and more chairs on the patio would be nice. The patio is great for Four Square. I was so glad I brought a playground ball because this was a fun activity for all of us. We ate in for almost all our meals. The can opener hardly works and there are no spatulas for scraping jars and bowls. There is no garbage disposal. The grill outside is a griddle and there was no steel brush to clean it. The host responded quickly to any concerns or questions.

Super cute decor, kitchen was awesome and lots of living and sleeping space for a family. We enjoyed our stay over 4th of July weekend. There is so much to do over the holiday in Manistee. This spot is close to the channel but a drive in to downtown.

The house was perfect for my family of 11. We had a great time and love the area..

This place was in the area as we wanted to salmon fish for a few days... Very nice, comfortable, and centrally located, perfect for us. Highly recommend and hope to stay again in the future... Thank you Carmen!

The house was beautiful and had plenty of room to accommodate 9 women. Carmen was very quick to respond to any questions we had. The only downside was the short doorway into the large bedroom but totally manageable.

We stayed here for a work trip and the house suited our needs perfectly. Bedrooms were all nice size for us to have our own private space and the common areas were large enough to hang out in all together. We will book again if we are in the area!

Thank you so much for the rental of your home. It was perfect for a girls weekend.

Nice clean property close to river channel and downtown. Only challenge was the 3/4 height door into the room with 5 beds for the older guys. Lots of room and supplied nice in kitchen and outside sitting area with a fire pit. Thanks!

Staid for long weekend w 7 friends and had a great time. Only downside was lack of ac in couple of bedrooms and downstairs bedroom needs a curtain in window (street light shines in currently). Would definitely stay again.

Overall we enjoyed our stay! Very close to downtown and Fifth Avenue beach! The beach is gorgeous. Plenty of room for 4 couples with 4 kids also. Only real downside that affected us is that there was no "real" air conditioning. States that the rental does have A/C but only located in two of the 3 rooms upstairs. The bunk room was the only one operating correctly. The other 2 rooms were very warm. When we weren't at the beach the house during the day the house temp was high too. The home did have plenty of fans to try and combat this but wish we knew the whole house didn't have air as our group has a pregnant woman. The patio door would benefit having a screen so that the breeze could flow through the house without the bugs coming in. Also, the patio is very large which is nice, just needs a patio table to enjoy dinner outside. Barely any lawn to speak of for the kids to play on. Not a huge deal but pictures don't show the whole lot. Again, overall my family had a great time. We're very easy going so none of this bothered us. More or less pointing out the concerns for others.

Lovely, big home. Air conditioning needs to be improved.

Our family had a great stay! It was the perfect place to get together with family and share many great meals. I highly recommend checking out North Channel Brewing Company which is just a few blocks away during your stay.

I stayed here with my husband, kids and in-laws. There was more than enough room for all of us! The house was clean, so well decorated and had a lot of old home charm. I was able to walk over to the Riverwalk every morning and enjoy the water views. Downtown is also within walking distance.

Home has been updated with new appliances. It was very clean and it was loaded with cooking, cleaning and bath essentials. Lots of room.
