Beautiful setting right above the beach. Only issue was upon check-in the room felt and smelled musty. Opening windows and running ceiling fans helped a lot. Nice owners live in adjacent part of home. Wonderful location with lots to experience in the area. Saw 3 bald eagles.

Great place to stay for our fall color drive

We totally enjoyed staying at Gary & Shirley's place. They were hospitable and the place was clean and beautiful right on Lake Michigan. We enjoyed walks on the beach, sitting around the fire at night, and driving to TC. Thank you for sharing this wonderful get-a-way place!

Quiet with a View

For those looking to see a sunset over Lake Michigan, this is the place to be. Shirley and her husband greeted us when we arrived and then allowed us our privacy. The room is set up with a view to the lake while lying in bed. The patio is also freely accessible and private, giving you a chance to watch the sunset from the perfect vantage point between the trees. Great place to stay.

Couple getaway

Me and my boyfriend enjoyed our stay here. We spent most of the day sightseeing and doing things in manistee. It was nice to come back to a private beach and relax there. One thing I didn’t like is that there were people walking by the big window and they could see inside straight to the bed. It did have curtains but I didn’t like closing them because that’s were the main view of the water was.

Lake Michigan lakefront property

The place was freezing cold. Took 6 hours to warm up. The kitchen floor had not been swept or cleaned. We could not get some of the streaming channels she said she had. The view was terrible. You look out to the top of the owners roof. You could see the water through only a couple windows. On the positive side they had an electric blanket on the bed, which we needed as the house just getting warm. They did offer us the bigger house at the same price as the one with no kitchen as they had a cancelation.

The view was fantastic. The place was outdated. The coffee maker still had coffee in it, and was not cleaned at all. Overall it was a nice place, but it needs updates and a thorough cleaning.

Access to the beach was phenomenal. The accommodations were underwhelming. Bathroom sink was clogged with food, the outdoor shower was not connected to a source of water, and we could hear the residents personal conversations through the walls.

The VIEW! The SUNSETS! The WAVES!

I'll be back! I went down to the beach (13 steps, a landing, then 15 steps, then about one minute of walking through dune grass to get there, if you're curious), played in the waves, and relaxed. There was a misty day, and I followed the suggestions the host provided and found a Gravity Hill and was amazed, and went for a couple easy hikes in nature preserves. Purely by accident, the house was getting a new roof while I was there, but you can't always choose when these things happen. Luckily, down by the beach, I couldn't hear a thing, and evenings and mornings were quiet. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps another table/floor lamp or two in the living room, since the one that is there is a bit dim for reading in the evening. There were overhead lights, but they're not terribly atmospheric.

Private room with bath & separate entrance

It felt more like a rented room than a vacation rental; however, the hosts were so kind, the location is beautiful, and I'd come back just to walk the beach again.

Everything as advertised

The location was beautiful. Great view of lake michigan. Getting down to the beach involved alot of stairs but they were very well constructed and maintained. Our hosts when we saw them we very friendly. Only issue we had was the door separating the suite and their house was a hollow core door which we could hear everything going on next door. Definitely would recommend to other couples looking to get away
