Beautiful Lake Front-but property needs TLC!
The location and view of the lake were fantastic. However, the interior and exterior need updating. The exterior grounds have been neglected and need some attention. The fire pit area has several stumps that pose a trip hazard. The interior needs some serious updating. Additional, the cleanliness of the home could have been significantly better.

This was perfect for 8 middle-aged women who don’t want to share a bed and love the lake and outdoors and cooking and keeping cozy in the fall!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND
I arrived at this facility with 3 of my 6 guests. Condition of the home was absolutely horrible. We could not stay in this home as patio door frames and window cranks were broken. Unbelievable flies (alive and deceased) The list is long with supporting pictures

The location was amazing with lots of room to enjoy! Although the house was clean, there was a musty odor that often accompanies a lake house. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL location!

great trip
Josh Orton, the owner, was very helpful. His beautiful home was well maintained, had great views, was large enough to provide a lot space and privacy for a good-sized group (we had grandparents, parents and grandkids for a total of 14 people). The location was also excellent since it was located close to a lot of activities and yet was on a quiet road. A quality rental with a helpful owner.

Family Vacay!
Extended family getaway in over a year, celebrated a mom/gma’s special birthday and time spent with a special dad/papa. The time spent relaxing, laughing, eating, watching football, playing games, rock finding and town shopping was just what we needed. We all admired the lake view and enjoyed the cozy fireplace. Super clean, fully stocked, plenty of room for all of us, great communication, and looking forward to our next visit! Thank you so much!

Fantastic Lake Michigan house
This property is perfect for a large group. Plenty of space to spread out, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen. The deck with Lake Michigan view can’t be beat. This was our group’s second summer at this property and we will return in 2024. We really appreciated the new grille this year. Property manager responded promptly to any questions. This location and home are awesome!

Great time
We had a really great time. The view is incredible. Plenty of beds and everything was nice and clean. We were really excited to find out the stairs down to the lake we’re finished. Spent most our time hanging out on the back deck and at the private beach. This place really is the perfect lake house. Thanks Rich and Stacy!

Comfortable stay
Our multi family group enjoyed our stay a lot! A few favorites: -location -porch -beach -bonfire pit -space and bedrooms -easy parking -nice big kitchen and plenty of room to eat as a group As a decorator, I would Love to get my hands on this property and enhance it with some updates but it met our needs. We did need to buy ant killer to put in the upstairs bathroom. But that’s life up north!

Great waterfront spot
We had a blast, ample amounts of space for sleeping accommodations , new stairs down to the water, only downside was AC was only in one location on main floor but other than that it was a blast. No cell phone service at the house but the WiFi was great! Thanks for hosting!!

Family Gathering, late August 2024
We had daughters, son in laws and grandchildren with us for one week. Everyone enjoyed their stay. Fire pit was a big hit. Nice deck. The cliff edge (common to most properties in this area) was a constant worry for the 3-year old but short non-lawn area acts as a deterrent. The 88 steps to lake was a good workout for grandpa but grandma couldn't manage it. No A/C in sleeping rooms as noted in the description was not a major problem as we had 65-70^ breeze every evening. Lower level rooms are more rustic than upper levels and need refresh. House has strange layout with 3 front doors and two stairs; was it a duplex at one time??? Carpet on main stair was ready for the dumpster a while ago. Overall, a positive experience. Thanks!

A must stay location!
No words can describe this property. My family and I, a part of 8 stayed here for the weekend. We had plenty of room for all of us. The view was awesome. It was raining so we didn’t get to enjoy the deck. My wife and I will definitely be renting again. The communication with Josh was like it should be always there to answer your text or call. As an owner of a property management company this is how a rental should be like. Highly recommend!!

Family Fun
The house was as advertised. Big, clean, great views and located near dowtown Manistee. The only concern I had was the significant drop off going down to the shoreline. We had small children ages 4-8 which we had to be super vigilant watching. Swimming at the beach at the bottom of the stairs wasnt an option but we had plenty of other great locations to swim nearby. It was a great time and I highly recommend this home for family get togethers. Ken
