About this property

The Place to be is Manistee- Riverwalk, beautiful Lake Michigan, National Forest

"The Place" is located in one of the old brick buildings in downtown Manistee between the theater and the pub. It's across the street from the scenic Riverwalk, less than 1 mile from beautiful Lake Michigan and footsteps away from restaurants and shops. Built in 1882, "The Place" has retained the hardwood floors and 11' ceilings. The 1400 sq. ft. of comfy living space is a great place to relax after a day at the lake, hiking in the Manistee Nat'l Forest, or skiing at Crystal Mountain, or golfing at Manistee or Arcadia Bluffs

Property is very charming if you’re into high ceilings, wood floors which we all are. Amazing covered porch. If we are in Manistee area would love to stay again.

Great amenities and location.
All the amenities for the weather, for a beach you could want. Umbrellas, beach chairs. Great location. We only had a minor issue but host was very responsive. I would bring a sleep mask though- which I always do when I travel. The back 2 bedrooms are very bright in the AM. Lovely apartment and Manistee is such a great destination!

Perfectly located home away from home in Manistee
We enjoyed a clean, comfortable, thoughtfully appointed home during our first visit to Manistee. We had immediate access to the river walk, restaurants and ability to walk to the beaches and playgrounds. Besides the spacious indoor area the house provided a large covered deck with plenty of seating. We had use of beach chairs, umbrellas, indoor games and toys for the grandbabies.

Why they chose this property

In my many travels for work and pleasure I make every effort to enjoy the beauty of my surroundings, as well as the history and culture of the local residents. Aside from the beautiful photos and memorable moments I share with others, I always remember where I stay. The place needs to be clean, comfortable, and convenient to areas of interest. "The Place" in Manistee does all this and more. It was built in 1882 and has retained its' charm with the original wood flooring, high ceilings and pocket doors, yet it has been refurbished to include the modern amenities that make travelers feel at home. When I travel to Manistee for a long weekend get-away, I look forward to relaxing on the deck, dining out or eating in, walking the Riverwalk to the clean and spacious beaches, taking in a beautiful sunset at Lake Michigan, and then ending the day with a good movie/book and peaceful sleep. I hope you will too!

What makes this property unique

The living space is spacious and comfortable, with amenities to make one feel at home. Private parking in the back of the building provides 2 private entrances, allowing for easy entry with luggage and groceries. Guests can watch parades from the new Pella windows or enjoy festivities at the street level, then use the private entrance on River Street to enter The Place. A new covered deck with ample seating for relaxing or dining can be enjoyed during the rain, and even on hot summer days the surrounding shade trees and offshore breeze keep the deck area comfortable.
