Summary: This was the nicest rental we have stayed in to date. The location was perfect to be able to walk to shops, eateries, and even to Lake Michigan on the River Walk. The place was clean, big, and beautiful! Anita was great to work with and quick to respond. They gave us lots of great suggestions for where to eat and things to do. Manistee at Christmas time is just like a Hallmark movie and we had a lovely time. We will definitely go back!

Summary: A lovely apartment in a fantastic location! We loved watching the river from the deck, and having shops and restaurants just steps away. It was also a great central location for exploring the area. We enjoyed easy access to beaches, trails, parks, and farm stands with local produce. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. It was a pleasure to return to after a day of hiking or exploring. Anita and Pat are wonderful hosts.
