Cedar Crest is the perfect getaway on the beautiful Manistee River, offering two charming homes in one rental.
The Main House sits just behind the riverfront Log Cabin and features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, providing a comfortable space with easy access to the outdoors. Steps away, the Log Cabin offers 2 additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, nestled right on the water's edge for a true Up North experience.
Together, these two homes create the ideal setup for extended families, small groups, or couples traveling together. Guests can enjoy quality time during the day—gathering for meals, adventures, or riverside relaxation—while still having the privacy of separate spaces at night.
Whether you're seeking cozy evenings by the river, outdoor fun, or simply a place to unwind with loved ones, Cedar Crest gives you the best of both worlds: togetherness and separation in one unforgettable stay.
