Large Downtown Manistee Historic Home Near Lake Michigan
Location is key in this large home with plenty of space for your group to spread out. Sleeps 18 + 2 infants. Walk two blocks to the shops and restaurants on the Historic Manistee Riverwalk and bike or stroll about 1 mile to Lake Michigan. Enjoy fishing from one of the many charters or bring your own boat with public boat ramps and marinas a few minutes away. Two great golf courses in town with Arcadia Bluffs only 30 min away and 45 min from Crystal Mountain and Caberfae Skiing in the winter!
The space
This newly remodeled historic Victorian home was built in 1905 still has old world charm with modern conveniences. Originally two separate homes, this large house is perfect for multiple groups and provides plenty of space to interact together and separately. If you need to work, our newly upgraded mesh wifi 6 system and home office with a monitor are available during your stay. Families will have everything they need with baby gates, a high chair, a mini crib, a pack n play, a foosball table and other games made available to guests.

There is also a wheelchair accessible ramped access to the house and 2 bedrooms and bathrooms on the main floor. Nearly every bedroom has either a smart TV or a fire stick for entertainment on rainy days.
Enjoy a glass of wine or dinner on the back patio, a fire at night, or walk across the street for a Dairy Queen treat on a hot day!

Great stay in a Beautiful home
This is a well thought out property with owners that have thought of everything a renter may need during their stay. We enjoyed having space to spread out and the backyard every evening.

Best VRBO ever
The accommodations were above and beyond our expectations. The house was big enough for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. Beds were all extremely comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep. Having a smart TV in every bedroom was a huge bonus. We all want to do this again next year!

The Perfect Getaway!
Our friend group of 15 were looking for a place to get together for a vacation, when we came across this home. Manistee is such a cute little town and the house was big enough for all of us. Its two dining and living rooms made it easy to play lots of board games! AND THE BEDS- They were so comfy! Everyone slept amazing. Amy was also super sweet and made us all feel welcomed. It was honestly hard saying goodbye. Would recommend to anyone who wants a west side getaway.

Had Everything and More
We had 19 adults and 4 kids in this house and we're very comfortable. It was very walkable, close to the beach and grocery stores. The house had everything we needed, including baby gates and toys for our kids. There were things we packed that we didn't even take out of the car because they were already at the house. Amy was very responsive and answered all of my questions promptly, she made she we had everything needed for our stay. Highly recommend for large groups staying in Manistee.

Great Home for Family Reunion
We rented this home for our family to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s together. It was the perfect spot for our family of 15. There were lots of bedrooms and plenty of space for us to spread out, yet feel together!
Manistee is a great little town to explore, and the Riverwalk is beautiful, going all the way from downtown to Lake Michigan! The house is convenient to downtown, the Riverwalk and, a beautiful beach on Lake, Michigan.
The owner was very accommodating for our family and quick to respond to any inquiries I had. They even put up a Christmas tree for us, knowing we were celebrating our holidays together.
Everyone in my family commented on how much they enjoyed this house and location because there were a lot of things to do and we could easily play games and make a lot of noise in the house on one side, while the younger kids were sleeping on the other side upstairs.
I would definitely recommend this for a large family or group of friends.

Absolutely fantastic!!!
This house was perfect for our large family vacation! We had 10 adults and 12 kids and there was enough room for everyone to fit comfortably and get space when they needed it. This owner thought of everything and it was the first house we've stayed at where we didnt need to run for extra items besides food. They had a lot of toys inside and out for kids and plent of books as well. This house is also a very close walk to downtown shops and restaurants and a short drive to beaches. I cannot recommend this house more for faily vacations. It was absolutely wonderful and no problems at all.
