Relaxing Lakeside, inside and Out
This lovely home is quite large. We came here to end our 11 day vacay to rest for a couple of days!! We did just that! We used Instacart to order in snacks and food to cook. Such hospitable husband and wife team, who greeted us with banana bread and outside as well after we settled in! It was obvious they cared about us having a wonderful stay! I chose to read a book rather than get in the lake, but another day and I might have! I keep thinking of the word spacious! With the living room/sitting room at the entrance of the house, and family/livingroom with many places to sit there is a place for a good sized family to stay here, spread out in different rooms as needed, and outdoors, at the lake, in the lake or walking in this very walkable neighborhood! One of the safest places I've stayed at! Cupboards are stocked with other spices, and canned foods as well! You get a lot here, and I highly recommend you consider making this 'your place' if you are looking for lakeside, family friendly lake time, a place to relax or burn off some energy!! Whether rainy or sunny, you have a great place to have your home away from home!

Lakefront relaxation
This was a perfect retreat to relax, unwind and de-stress. The house was exactly what we needed while in town. Perfect location to downtown Manteno, the beach, and so many restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay.

Everything needed for family time together
We had a relaxing and comfortable stay with everything we could ever need. It allowed us the opportunity to see many family members while visiting while have all the comforts of home. The beautiful peaceful setting on the lake was nothing but tranquility on every level. Out time there was truly unforgettable. Thank you for this opportunity. We hope to see it again soon.

Fabulous "tropical" vacation
Since I can't travel more than ~ 1 hour, due to health issues, this was the greatest vacation we can do. A great shutout to the owner for all the special touches to make our vacation fabulous and memorable. This is a very special lake side vacation with all the trimmings and a lovely community with weekend events. Thank for letting us stay at your place. We will remember this one forever.

This house is so cute! There was plenty of space for everyone to relax and visit with each other. The fire pit was perfect! The banana bread was delicious (can I have the recipe?!?). Manteno is adorable- we walked to a pizza place and out for breakfast. Thanks for a great stay!

Great Getaway
We enjoyed being able to use the yard for games and a bonfire. We also loved the boats and fishing gear provided. We would suggest a few more baking sheet pans for cookies, etc. Also, we would have like the door on the main floor to stay shut. We had a great time!

TOO NICE TO PASS UP!
Everything we needed was provided for in this very nice cottage located on the water. The location was convenient to downtown eateries, lounges and shopping. Oktoberfest festivities were festive and entertainment abundant to pick from. The bedding and furniture were all comfortable, and of appreciable quality. All in all we would recommend this property.

Cozy Cottage
I stayed at this property with my mom, brother, sister-in-law and nephew. The house was clean, spacious with comfortable beds, nice common areas and a great view of a small lake from the backyard. It was very well equipped with essentials, paper products, linens, etc. The neighborhood was quiet (except a few passing trains) and we felt very safe. The hosts were gracious without being intrusive. We felt very welcome. My only negative note is that the two upstairs bedrooms are linked. You have to walk through the queen bedroom to enter the second and there is only a curtain instead of a door between them. In other words privacy could be an issue for some renters. This aspect of the top floor was not shown in the photos or text provided. Still, I would stay there again!

We were very pleased with everything. we came to fish and were not disappointed. We only do dock fishing and Ron gave a lot of tips for the best catch. It was clean, quiet and relaxing. And the banana bread was a delicious surprise.

Great Grace Place!
Grace Place was beautiful. The cottage was comfortable and well stocked. We had a very relaxing weekend. The rain cut our fishing time short but allowed us time to relax together as a family. We enjoyed the time with our grand daughter, son and daughter-in-law. We recommend PJ's for ice cream if you stay and the Mayberry restaurant has very good food.

Summer nights
Born and raised in this town, it was great to re-experience the warm, breezy, summer nights, and the very hot days. The lake is a great view all day and allowed a little exercise with the paddle boats. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable and clean.
