It was nice and quiet, there wasn't much traffic. Honestly my favorite place I've stayed at in Manistee. The host messaged us on check in day and checked in with us again half way through our stay.

It was close to beaches, shopping, great walking neighborhood as well as the house being spotless, efficient, cozy & relaxing with everything we could need. This was a Summer Solistice drive we created about 7 yrs ago, by starting with the sunrise at 5:50am on the East side of the state in Tawas, driving across the state & seeing sunset in Manistee at 9:33pm! This place was a wonderful landing spot on our travels to take our time and relax while celebrating summer. Shawn was a wonderful & friendly host, the directions were simple and easy to navigate, and we felt very welcome. DidI mention this place was super comfortable and spotless? Such a very charming home and we home to come back with at least one of our adult kids and visit again. Manistee has always has a place in our hearts, our kids grew up coming here every summer. Thanks again Shawn for a fabulous visit! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3aa8c6d5-3387-4f12-9b29-ba26004ab37d-1750821946841.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Audrey B.

One lamp in the place so I moved it around as the lighting in the bedrooms is sooo dim as I. The kitchen. Very clean if that is your number one criteria. The kitchen is not the best to function in but doable. Bathrooms very clean. It is very small So if your group is tall and substantial this ain’t the place. Sunset down the block makes a nice ending to the day. ##### Carol C. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Christopher K. 30 Aug 2023 Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Dirty bedding and other bed issues Unfortunately we had a bad experience at this property. Just before going to bed at 11:30pm, we discovered the master bedding was covered in stains. The comforter had a large brown stain, the mattress cover had a large stain that looked like black mold, and the sheets had numerous splotchy stains that looked like bodily fluids. I had to go to the store at midnight to buy all new bedding so we could sleep a couple hours on clean bedding. After such a bad experience I wanted to checkout early because I was no longer comfortable with cleanliness of the property considering such obvious cleanliness and hygiene issues were overlooked. Unfortunately the property owner and VRBO didn’t allow me to check out early with a refund for the unused remaining nights of our stay. Also, the bunk bed is extremely squeaky. Even the slightest movement while sleeping on the bunk bed causes a loud squeezing that wakes up people in both rooms. ##### Christopher K.

Just a 15 minute walk into town and 15 minute walk to Lake Michigan beach. ##### Susan M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ---
