We were so thrilled to come in and see this darling cottage that was wonderfully decorated, and very well stocked with everything one might need... we didn't cook much, as we were mostly driving all over Leelanau and Benzie Counties.

Property was very musty, multiple cleaning issues w bathroom and kitchen. Management was accommodating. However, I would not recommend this property in its current condition. ##### Patty Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Charles and Margaret H. 13 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We liked the location and the layout of the cottage was nice with two bathrooms and plenty of drawers in both, making it super user-friendly. The kitchen remodel was also nice - all worked well - sinks, shower, toilets, etc. However, the wood laminate floors need to be cleaned thoroughly throughout the cottage. We also had to clean the deck and the chairs on the deck so we could use them. My husband had to clean the garbage container because is smelled so bad and it was parked next to the deck. We actually moved it away from the deck while cleaning until the smell was no longer a problem. Also recommend an update on the TV - Roku TV was challenging to operate and it had a constant automated voice that spoke throughout while in use. A comfortable couch for the living room is must- current couch is small and outdated and very uncomfortable. It would be nice to have another comfortable reclining chair as well. ##### Charles and Margaret H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Keilee M., Richfield 11 Oct 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Manistee Stay at The Cottage This was a cute rental property. However, my husband and I were quite disappointed to find out no one had been there in a while because upon opening the door to the rental we were immediately hit with the overwhelming smell of dampness, mildew & mold smell. It was rainy & cold outside so it was a bummer that we had to open all the windows to air out the cottage. The toilet pipes also need to be fixed because everytime you flushed the toilets the pipes would whistle & scream quite loudly for a minute following the flush. There were also many many spider webs everywhere in the cottage. With saying all of this, I would still recommend this rental property because it is cute, it comes with all the necessities one would need while staying in Manistee. It is also super close to a park, Lake Michigan, downtown restaurants & shopping. This little cottage as friendly neighbors and the wildlife 20 feet from the backyard is amazing! In the week we were there we seen a total of 26 deer, 3 black squirrels & 6 raccoons. The deer would get so close to us that we could reach out & touch them. The property owner also was accommodating to my husband's & my service dogs, which was greatly appreciated. Yes there is room for improvement with this property but if you can look past the few issues, it really is a wonderful stay. ##### Keilee M. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2022 ---
