Another great time of retreat to talk without kids' interruptions, take some walks, some light hiking, sit on the deck, etc. We enjoyed it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The house clean, comfortable, roomy, and stocked with everything we needed. It was well located to ski at Crystal Mountain and Caberfae, and not too far from the Homestead as well. We had a great weekend.
