Cottage holiday rentals in Manistee

We had an amazing time at Salma’s big beautiful cottage! It’s like something out of a dream. The cottage itself is very beautifully designed with lots of wooden features & accents both within the interior and exterior. We fell in love with its beauty. It’s super spacious inside and has everything you need for a dreamy cottage weekend. The outdoor hot tub with string lights were a very cute touch! The large property is nestled within a lovely outdoor wooded area that feels far away from busy life but is actually only 15-20 minutes away from most local Traverse city places! So it makes for a great location that is best of both worlds. The cottage was very clean and it was very easy to spend the day lounging around in and then enjoy its cozy nature in the evenings. Salma was very kind and easy to communicate with! She was a wonderful host. We really loved staying here and would love to return someday. This is a true one of kind gem and I’m sure you’d make some wonderful memories here too.

Such a cute, peaceful place! The hot tub was wonderful, and the home was cozy and well decorated. Would definitely recommend, the hose was so responsive and so sweet!

We loved our stay at Anna’s cottage! It was the perfect peaceful sanctuary we were looking for. The property is charming, thoughtfully designed, and elegantly outfitted. The location offers a very private vibe tucked away in the woods while being being in the center of the peninsula and convenient to get around. Anna was a super friendly and helpful host, making sure we had a positive experience every step of the way. We are psyched to return for another retreat at this amazing cottage in the woods!

I went to Michigan to compete in the Ironman 70.3 in Frankfort and this place was perfect! It has plenty of beds/ sofa options and was big enough to host a family pasta dinner! Great location right in town in Beulah we could walk to restaurants and shops! And it ended up being only 15 minutes from the race which was great! Grocery stores were an easy 5 minute drive as well.

We (and our dogs) had an amazing time at Nathan's beautiful home. The setting is ideal—the house is right on the water, the amenities are fantastic, and the neighborhood is beautiful and serene. The house has everything you would want. There is a sweet deck and outdoor area along with a dock and your own private beach—the next house in either direction is almost a half-a-mile away. The perimeter around the house is essentially fully-fenced, which allowed us to swim, paddle board, and hang outside with the pups without worries. Nathan is a great host: He checked in throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. He provided clear instructions about the house and its features, as well as great local recommendations. We really can't say enough great things about our stay. It was by far the most peaceful and relaxing trip we've had and look forward to coming back soon!

Cozy newly refinished right on the lake! Cute thoughtful touches. Luke is a great host. FYI there are about 10 cement steepish stairs down to the front door. The view was perfect.

This Airbnb is so much FUN and so thoughtfully decorated. We spent at least an hour just walking around and exploring looking at everything! A kitschy vintage lovers dream. We're so excited to have our family back for our elopement next year!

We had a great holiday weekend at the cabin for the Bayshore Marathon. It is very clean and has everything we needed and more. It had a seccluded woodsy feel in spite of being very near the main parts of town and walkable. Close to the beach, the start trail but private with a wooded back yard and creek running through the property. 3 mile is noisy and busy as is 31 but it didn’t bother us. We brought ear plugs just in case.

I loved this Airbnb! It was a perfect size and was beautiful. Super close to town yet still felt like we had a quiet neighborhood to stay in as well. Our host was the sweetest and communicated so well with us. If I ever need to come back to lake city, I would love to stay here again!

Always our favorite stay! Robert’s place is just as he describes. Clean. Close to everything. Very responsive. Perfect for our family or 4!

We had a lovely time at Carlie's cabin. It is in a great peaceful location, right between Sleeping Bear Dunes, and 30 minutes to Traverse City, with lots of beautiful hikes all around. The cabin itself is rustic but very comfortable, and a perfect amount of space for a couple or small family. We would highly recommend for anyone visiting the area!

Our family/ pups enjoyed staying here! The place was clean and spacious! We enjoyed the fire pit each night! It was a very joyful family vacation!

My two adult sons and I spent four nights at the cottage. We had the use of all beach and water craft. Fishing was great. Would stay there again.

We lo ved our stay at the cottage. Spider Lake is lovely and very relaxing. Nikki was very communicative leading up to and during our stay. We would absolutely want to book it again .

This was our 3rd time staying at the cottage and it’s just a comfortable place!

We have chosen to return to Josh and Jessica's place twice now after our initial trip there 4 years ago. We love the house, the environment, the location, and the multitude of things to do in the area. They are wonderful hosts and we hope to return again soon.

Great Place for a fall long weekend getaway! We enjoyed the ease of access to surrounding activities, beautiful views and advertised amenities. The place worked great for cooking in or outdoors and keeping two children entertained. Trips to dunes for hiking or motorsport, bigger cities for restaurants or shopping and parks for sightseeing and recreation are all available from this cottage. The place was well stocked with towels, bedding and cooking utensils. Some water and ice are also provided. I ended up needing to work a bit during the stay, the wifi was great for this. A note that lake front property is prime real-estate so neighbors are close by. While quiet and nice, having neighbors close by may not be everyone's cup of tea. Overall a great place to stay, would be interested in coming back for longer during the summer in the future.

We had a great time at the Aqua Cove! The house was perfect. Our kids caught several species of fish from the dock and enjoyed all of the provided kayaks and paddle board. The house was equipped with everything we needed!

We had a fantastic weekend here! Kirk and Angie's home is beautifully decorated and clean. They truly thought of everything we might need for a fun and enjoyable stay. We had a great time fishing with our kids and enjoying this beautiful slice of heaven. We can't wait to come back next year!

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The location was excellent and was walking distance from the beach. The downtown area was also walkable but not as close and would not recommend to anyone health issues. The property was as expected. It was clean , comfy and cozy. Great for solo travelers and couples. The cottage had the majority of items one would need to cook and clean. The host Daniel was amazing. He was flexible, courteous and available. Daniel answered questions quickly. We had 1 issue come up but he addressed it quickly and made it right. Excellent customer service.

Just as described only better!!! Absolutely spotless in every aspect! Patti went out of her way to answer any question I had before and during our stay. To be honest if I listed everything I loved about this place i could write a book! My family can’t wait to go back!!! Zero complaints except to myself for not staying longer!!!

This was our second time staying at Mandy’s place and it was great! Fishing was good, weather was great…we’ll be back!

I grew up spending summers in Baldwin on all of the lakes. For me, my experience was nostalgic and sublime. This lovely cottage has an excellent view of and access to Whalen lake, just outside of Baldwin. The cottage was cozy, had so many amenities, and offered my wife and I the perfect restful weekend we needed! Whether you're a couple that needs to have a weekend away or a family looking for a fun vacation spot. Laura and her husband have the best of both worlds. They're fantastic hosts and we'd recommend a stay at their lake cottage any time.

Thank you for accommodating us on such short notice!! Your place was great!! We will definitely choose your home on our next trip to Frankfort!! Perfect little home away from home.
