Perfect size for our group of 8

Finding comfortable accommodations for a group of 8 adults isn't always easy. This property is in an excellent location and offered plenty of space for our large group. We had everything available to make our long weekend stay comfortable.With only a couple of extra questions for our host, she was prompt in her responses and follow up.If we're back in Manistee we'll likely look for this spot again.

Great Place- Close to Town

We had a great stay! The big room upstairs was so fun for our young kids. The location is perfect- close to town and a short drive/long walk to the beach. We would absolutely stay here again.

Christmas Holiday

My family stayed here from Dec 20 to Jan 3 and had a fantastic time being together. The host was terrific and super responsive. She had decorated the house for us with a Christmas tree and all. She also left us several very thoughtful gifts and went above and beyond to make us comfortable and happy. We enjoyed our time there and had a terrific time with each other. It was our favorite holiday together. Thank you!

Great place for exploring Manistee

We enjoyed the neat, comfortable house and the location. Plenty room for the 11 of us and downtown Manistee was a walk away. The kitchen was well stocked for making our meals and the games and toys helped keep the kids occupied. Thanks for a great stay.

Cute decor and lots of space for a family trip!

Super cute decor, kitchen was awesome and lots of living and sleeping space for a family. We enjoyed our stay over 4th of July weekend. There is so much to do over the holiday in Manistee. This spot is close to the channel but a drive in to downtown.

Great for fishing and golfing trip

Worked perfect for us. The rental is an older house that was nicely updated inside. 3 separate bedrooms and 5 beds in a bonus room worked great for our guys group of 8. Only heads up is a heads up on the climb up the stairs it has a lower ceiling so don’t bump your head. Door into bonus attic room is small but worked great for us. No complaints. This worked great for us and was next door to the marina we used. Nice outside patio we chilled on.

Great for a guys trip!

The place was very nice and had everything we could have asked for! Lots of room for our large group (12 in total!) It was very clean and they had plenty of towels and linens for our stay. Carmen was very responsive with any questions and concerns and even left us a thank you note for when we arrived! The location made downtown Manistee a very easy 13 minute walk and made for a great place for couples. Thanks again for a great trip!

Work "Vacation"

This house worked great for our work crew! We have a remodeling job on the area and this house was a great alternative to a hotel. We put the whole crew up in this house! The accommodations were very clean and tastefully decorated. The crew was very comfortable. The full kitchen allowed us to make meals for everyone, which saved us a lot of money. Check-in and Check-out was very simple and smooth. Host was quick at responding. Even the extra parking in back worked for all of our vehicles! Highly recommend - works great for a large group!

Manistee getaway

The bridge closure creates a traffic jam downtown which did impact our stay- no fault of the property owner. 1 of the TVs worked. Could not get the others to work. No keys initially- reached out to owner and a cleaning lady? came over at 10:30 pm to give us the hide-a-key. 8 bath towels- bring your own if you need more. Grill is a black stone and fire pit is a solo stove. Watch your head going up the stairs if you are above 5’5”- low hanging ceiling and my husband cracked his head pretty good because he wasn’t looking up. We saw deer in back yard. Enjoyed the quiet town.

About the host

Hosted by Carmen Veurink

Host profile image
I am a West Michigan native. I love having four seasons (although I wish winter was shorter and summer is my favorite). I live in Spring Lake and love living so close to Lake Michigan. I enjoy reading, traveling, and coffee. I love spending time outdoors with my family – my husband, two sons, and a dog named Charlie. We enjoy hiking, biking, boating, and going to the beach.

Why they chose this property

We love being close to the channel, beach, and downtown. Manistee is such a fun town to visit! It's a great jumping off point for Northern Michigan.

What makes this property unique

What I love about this house is that it fits multiple families who want to share a vacation together! The kids room is so fun for friends or cousins to hang out in. Why choose a hotel when you can share a home? It is very cozy and comfortable.
