This place was ideal
5 of us came up to go salmon fishing in Manistee. A search on VRBO led us to this place, and we’re so glad we found it. It was quiet, and very clean. Perfect for what we needed. Hosts were gracious and the communication was quick and clear. Definitely would stay here again.

Family get together
We had a great time! Beds were comfortable, plenty of seating in the living room. We made use of the fire pit and the kids enjoyed exploring the property. The only thing I would recommend is some darker shades or curtains for the bedrooms.

Nice location for Arcadia Bluffs
Property was clean and a great location for Arcadia Bluffs and the South Course. Also near Little River Casino and downtown Manistee. The property owner was available for questions but we did not need to contact them because there were no issues with the place. We would stay here again.

Quiet Place in the Country
This is an older home, but don’t let that fool you it has all the amenities you need! It’s a very quiet neighborhood with a spacious backyard that’s perfect for having coffee and reading a book in the morning. We also live in the country so it felt like a home away from home. Will definitely stay here again the next time we’re in NW Michigan

Clean and comfortable
We have stayed here several times and find it to be perfect for us. It’s always clean, comfortable,and well supplied with everything you need. It was very hot and humid when we were there this time and we really appreciated the central air. I really can’t think of anything negative about this place. We have already booked another stay.

Functional Place to Stay
We were a bit disappointed at first glance as the place is not ascetically special at all. But we adjusted to lower expectations for what we saw and enjoyed our time. The place was clean. Kitchen was functional but the amneties of the kitchen left something to be desired. All kitchen supplies looked like things gathered from Goodwill. Maybe petty, but having a Kuerig for single coffee drinker would have been a plus and so would a corkscrew for an evening glass of wine. No Wi-fi was a drag leaving only a basic Direct TV package as entertainment option in the evenings.We enjoyed our walks into the back lot with paths to explore. The place was quiet, which we definitely appreciated. Overall, we enjoyed our stay as a silence and solitude experience without all the bells and whistles.

Relaxing get away
Out stay was one of the best we have had. Over the last 4 years we have picked a propety to stay at for our fall get away. This was the best one so far. The place was clean, the property was private and quiet. The check in and check out was simple and easy. We loved our weekend here and would recommend this place to anyone who seeks nature and solitude.

Four day stay
The property was clean but very dated. The price was right and it was very quiet. However when we arrived, we found 5 plug in air fresheners plugged in, that made the house almost unbearable. I unplugged all of them and by the next morning all was well. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. Nice location in the middle of wine country.

It’s in the details
My husband and I stayed here with our 5 kids and were very impressed with all the personal details the property owner included. There was a note to us with some candy and the kids really loved all the outdoor toys and inside things (like the chalkboard) that were geared toward them. We tubed down the Platte River out of Honor and then explored Sleeping Bear Dunes. It was a great proximity to those attractions. We would definitely stay here again.
