Incredible views of Lake Michigan throughout the property itself and the grounds. Access to the deck/platform raised just above the water’s edge may be a bit steep for guests that may struggle with mobility but for our purposes it was great.
A previous commenter made mention of the furnishings. Our view is that they are on style for the modern lines of the house but they are chosen more for their utility as this is a rental designed for a continual flow of guests. It was a nonissue in our book but if you are looking for a true boutique experience this may not be a fit. However, you would be missing out on a lot pluses-including the proximity to both downtown Manistee and Onekama. And if you are lucky with the weather like us (sometimes a rarity in Michigan) you’ll be treated to magnificent sunset views and access to the lake which, while rocky at first, boasts a sandbar that stretches a great distance. Perfect for swimming or a cooling walk in knee high water when the lake is calm.
The property is closer to your neighbors then visible on the listing but maintains a sense of seclusion nonetheless. Most guests will not even make this observation, and again, it was a nonissue for us. Plenty of privacy to go around.
All positive comments about the kitchen are true but you’ll easily find yourself tempted not to make full use of it due to the number of dining options within a 10 to 30 min drive from the property.
We would definitely recommend a stay. It’s worth the price.
