Pleasant 40s home
Older home within walking distance to town, farmers market on Saturdays and Man Made Lake. Short driving distance to public beach on Lake Michigan. Quiet residence with 2 kitchens and room to spread out. We enjoyed our stay here very much.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Very dirty and Very rough shape. Caution
The home was never cleaned from the previous renter. The place was in shambles when we arrived. No clean sheets, no towels. House is dirty! Most plugs either don’t work or lamps don’t work. No direct tv box. Toilet upstairs is broken.2 beds are broken in the bedroom off the living room and has no light. Refrigerator upstairs is leaking water all over the floor. The cleaning lady arrived at 9pm on the first night and did the best she could with 10 people now sleeping in the house, she even said there’s not enough sheets for all the beds and not enough towels. The cleaning lady had to use 2 twin fitted sheets for the king bed upstairs and there was no top sheet. We ended up having to go buy our own sheets as they never did get us sheets that fit the beds. We did leave a day early. Evolve the management company that over sees the property did give us a refund for 1 of the days and the cleaning fee. I am not one to bash on things like this in a review, but the property was in rough shape. We took pictures of what it looked like when we arrived but unfortunately there is no way to post them on here. We did send all the pictures to Evolve, and they supported all of our complaints and did the best they could.

Huge disappointment
Not well maintained or supplied. Not one dish towel! Bathroom towel bars falling off wall. Bathroom shower faucet had to be tightened to get hot water. We had to call to get WiFi working. Furniture/rugs old and dirty. Not great neighborhood. Worst of all, we had bats flying around the kitchen 3 nights of our 5 which we had to deal with pest control visits two days. We received a small refund. Property needs some attention to expect to get that kind of rent.

House was not ready for guests
This is a fairly spacious place for a large family gathering. We had to wait for the house to be cleaned (we arrived an hour after check in) and we had to wait 4 hours for the house to warm up. Some of the furniture was in need of repair and the sink in one of the bathrooms didn't work. Its located close to town and was easy to find the place.

Plenty of beds
We enjoyed our stay, however when my son put his bag on the bottom bunk of the downstairs bedroom the bed tilted, upon further investigation we noticed that the bottom bunk only had five slats and there was a slat all busted up under the bed. (The top bunk had thirteen slats). My son ended up putting the mattress on the floor and slept there. Also parking was a concern, but we worked through that. I did think that the furniture was a bit dated.

Family reunion!
Lots of sleeping spaces, VERY well stocked kitchen! We enjoyed the fire pit and deck, it was conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood. Although it has 2 living rooms and kitchens, the living rooms are small for our party of 10 to hangout. Kitchen table only seats 5, so thankfully the weather cooperated so we could split and eat outside. They did a good job remodeling this old house: it was 2 units that they merged to rent altogether. Note that one of the bedrooms is a through way to get to upstairs. We just didn’t use that room. It does have window A/C units and they did a good job cooling the house. Full size coffeemaker and all newer appliances. Griddle on stove was handy for our daily large breakfasts!

Golfing trip
Good location in the middle of Manistee. Very old house that has been polished up. No air conditioning just fans provided. Hot water tank had not been used for a while and the water had a terrible smell when we first started using it. Eventually the smelly water did clear up. Lots of beds throughout the house and a kitchen on each floor.

Our group of girlfriends enjoyed our stay at this home. A few things to improve on; the beds were uncomfortable and some were unsteady. Also a few of dining room chairs were in poor condition and unusable.
