Great stay!
We loved how secluded this location was and it's proximity to Ludington and Manistee. It was nice to make use of the fire pit and a great view of the stars. We didn't make use of the pond as it was much lower water level than we expected but also it was colder during our visit. Would highly recommend this spot!

Outstanding property and Location
It was a very nice property, in a secluded area with under 15 minute drive to a dog friendly Lake Michigan beach near Manistee. The property was as anticipated for a nice getaway and would highly recommend staying here. My only issue was some minor trash left around the pond and dog waste that wasn't picked up. I love that its a animal friendly spot but figured the previous visitors or the cleaning crew would pick those things up. Regardless, I will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Loved our stay!
We had a fantastic stay. The location was absolutely perfect - easily accessible but secluded and private, exactly what we were looking for and exactly what was advertised. The kids and dogs pretty much lived in the pond all week! The place was very clean and had all the basics we needed. The property manager was quickly responsive to a minor issue we had upon check-in. Would love to stay again, next year won't come soon enough!

Relaxing home away from home
I was looking for a place to stay for the weekend close enough to our boat slip in Manistee but secluded like our home. I found this beatiful quiet gem here and had a wonderful time. My 11 year old cur had an even better time swimming in the pond attempting to catch fish and frogs. All amenities were present, down to the grill and hose. Sleeping was very comfortable. A very pleasant stay indeed. Will have to book this property again in the future.

A Great Getaway!
We stayed for a long weekend as a quick family getaway and loved it! The kids loved fishing in the pond, as well as paddling around in the boat. You get the best of both worlds with this house. It is quiet and secluded, while town and Lake Michigan are only 15 minutes away. We definitely plan to come back and stay again!
