Multi- family home, 3 levels of living space, King size beds.
Welcome to our house! Our two-storied house/with finished basement is made of cedar with a huge deck that overlooks the 35 acres. We are a registered tree farm with the state of Michigan and are working every year to improve the trees on the property. Very private with few neighbors, the house is located 10 minutes south of historic Manistee, easy access off highway 31, and about 5 minutes from Manistee’s boat launch. Many local beaches with amazing playgrounds for kids and golf within a 5-minute drive.
A 10- to 15-minute walk along a marked, wooded path takes you to Lake Michigan beach and scenic views. We also live next door to Magoon Creek, Magoon Creek is a large natural recreation area with hiking and biking trails. Magoon Creek is a great spot for an afternoon picnic with beaches they are generally fairly quiet. The park offers many picnic tables and covered pavilions nestled high atop a 150’+ bluff, the view is spectacular. It is a 15-minute walk or 2 minute drive.
Dine inside or outside with seating for 15 between the upper , lower deck or on the huge paver decks along two sides of the house. The kitchen features granite countertops, refrigerator/dishwasher, and stove/oven/vent/disposal. The lower deck has a gas grill and a swing.
5 bedrooms plus 2 futons in downstairs family room. No need to coin toss for big beds -- 3 bedrooms have king size beds. The 4th bedroom has 2 sets of twin bunk beds, and the 5th bedroom has a full/full bunk bed. 3 full baths (Huge master bath w/jetted tub and shower with 2 shower heads). Other amenities include washer/dryer, ceiling fans in every room, high speed internet, wifi, and smart TVs with Netflix, coffee bar, no need to bring shampoo, conditioner, or laundry detergent we provide that. Hair dryer as well. Just bring your clothes and food. :).
Relax outside. Fire pit with plenty of chairs in the garage, & tree swings. The 3-car garage game room has air hockey, pool, ping pong, and table for board games. Many board games included along with cards and poker chips. Baby stuff available (high-chair, baby pack and play, baby bath and activity play seat). Cleaning procedures are being followed for a clean and disinfected household. ALL bedding and comforters will be washed between guests. Let me say according to our cleaning company MOST homes do not wash the comforters in-between every guest… but we think you should have clean bedding!! So we have put this in place! I know this happens because I wash the comforters.!!
Our guest will also have exclusive access to all the amenities at the Harbor Village resort by North beach. They include an outdoor pool, indoor pool, hot tub, workout room, We also have a private boat slip available, park your boat for the week and relax:):) If you are interested in boat slip please message me for

Beautiful home beautiful property. Everything was great. The kids and Adults loved the game room. Fires everynight with the whole family are memories we will keep forever. Thank you Sheralyn for sharing you home with us💕
The property exceeded our expectations. More importantly, our grandsons loved it. They didn't want to leave. The house is roomy and comfortable, the yard big enough for just about any kind of game, the on-site recreational offerings are extensive, and the short walk to the beach is an adventure that everyone enjoyed. Not only that, but staying on a native plant and tree reserve is a real treat. Look for the chestnut trees. You won't be disappointed.
We stayed a week with our extended family. This was the best rental we’ve ever had. No detail was missed. Highly recommend and we hope to come back!

Beautiful house and so much to do!!!
We had an amazing week! Your house is beautiful and there was so much to do. We loved being in the woods and also near the lake. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We loved it!
What a great place to relive the quintessential Lake Mi summer vacation. The house and property were perfectly equipped for gathering friends and family for meals, games and campfires after a day of exploring beaches. The location was great and the owners were helpful with communication. The care taker was nextdoor so we always felt we had someone to call if needed but we really didn’t have any needs. Thanks for sharing your home!
This rental home was beyond wonderful. ALL the reviews of this property give glowing reports, they are all spot on! Our family of 6 adults and 4 young children (and one dog) had a great time; there was something for everyone, the home was spacious, comfortably accommodating everyone. We cooked most meals in, but it is such a convenient location--near beaches, town, restaurants, grocery stores, the pool in Harbor Village, and the home is surrounded by nature's beauty! Great rental--great hosts, we're planning on coming back! :)
A perfect house for our extended family of 11! Plenty to keep the boys active & engaged at the house & on the property. The beds are cozy, the kitchen is stocked with everything needed to cook, plenty of tables to share a meal. We all visited the porch swing & even sat by the fire one evening. Close to both rocky & sandy beaches! Even found a petoskey rock. We loved River Rd shopping, enjoyed runs on the Riverwalk & bike rides on M22! Thanks for making our Covid vacay so enjoyable!!
We had 3 families staying here! Adults, teens, kids a baby and dogs!!!! We had a wonderful time!!! The home is so accommodating & lacking nothing! The kids had a blast playing in the garage/game room! We loved the hike through the woods to Lake Michigan and loved the beach there! We searched for rocks & sea glass, enjoyed swimming and hanging out on the beach! The home is well cared for as well as the property! Beautiful setting! Communication with the owners was easy! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we hope we can come back again for a family vaca!!!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The home itself accommodated our multi-generational family comfortably and kitchen size and amenities allowed us to cook most of our dinners at home for the week as we prefer. The property the home sits on is beautiful and we enjoyed sitting in the back in the evening watching the deer and then roasting marshmallows as it got dark. We also took full advantage of the game room in the garage when we had some rain. The location is excellent for easily heading into Manistee to go to the beach there, or to go down to Nordhouse Dunes for hiking, etc. I have rented many vacation homes in Michigan and this rental was one of the best. In short, the home is clean and comfortable, the property is beautifully wooded and serene, and the location makes it a great jumping off point for many activities. We are already discussing coming back next summer!
The home was very well equipped, in good condition, and handled our group of 13 people with ease. We prepared most of our meals during the week. The wooded property was fun to explore and we frequented the walk-able beach by Magoon Creek. We found plenty to do in close proximity to the house. It was a great stay.
We ALL enjoyed our stay here very much! Three families, three floors, three living spaces, three full bathrooms! Lots of games and toys for the younger ones, loved the game room with pool table, ping pong, air hockey, darts and foosball. The outdoor living space was great! The yard was beautiful and full of wild life with deer and porcupine wandering through nightly. Lots of bird activity. The walk to Magoon Beach was great for the younger folks while the short drive to the First Street beach was more the grandparents speed! The homeowners and property manager were very nice and responsive to talk with! Highly recommend this home for large family gatherings!
The home is exactly as described. Everything was very clean and organized. The home was equipped with everything we needed for our 7 night stay with our extended family of 9. The beds were great! It was also nice to have TV's located around the house for those of us that wanted to relax with some TV.
The property is beautiful and well maintained. A 10-15 minute wooded walk through the Manistee Forest leads you to a semi-private beach on Lake Michigan. We also spent time at First Street Beach which is a short 10 or so minute drive into Manistee. Having access to the Community Pool (also about a 10 or so minute drive) was a huge bonus! We ended up going almost every day of our trip.
We all had a really wonderful time and would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time at this house. So much to do in the area between local beaches, downtown, and pool. We also enjoyed the Arcadia area (dunes and marsh preserve). So many amenities at the house like games, sand toys, kids’ toys, etc. One thing to note for future renters, which we didn’t realize, is that the pool (and hot tub) at the marina is a 10-15 min drive away. It wasn’t an issue, but was just different than we thought.
We were pleased with the property and fantastic the trails, vegetation, and the proximity to Lake Michigan. The house was very nice, and our favorite feature was the garage with all the games. There was lots of interaction between teens and adults. Manistee turned out to be a great place to shop, and we highly recomment TG's to eat.
We had a wonderful experience with this rental property. The owner was easy to communicate with and answered any questions we had promptly. As a mother of 4 young children I appreciated that the owner reached out to provide me with information prior to our stay as it really helped with our packing process! She let me know that there was a high chair, booster seat, pack-and-play and a baby carrier available for our use.
The house was clean and organized, and ideal for our 3-family group as there was a king bedroom on each level. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the kitchen was stocked! We prepared the majority of our meals at the house, and there was a large selection of cookware and utensils for us to use, including a complete spice cabinet (far beyond the standard salt/pepper/cinnamon selection).
Our group included 6 children between the ages of 16 months to 8 years old, and there was plenty to keep them busy including toys, games, puzzles, and the game room in the garage. If you do have toddlers I would recommend bringing a baby gate to block off the stairs to the upper level as the sitting area on the 2nd floor overlooks the living room below, and we were nervous that the younger ones may slip through the wooden balusters.
As we had so many young children with us, we did not attempt to walk through the woods to get to the beach, but chose to drive. The Magoon Creek beach was less than a mile down the road, and the beaches in downtown Manistee were only about a 10 minute drive. It was incredibly convenient to have access to the Harbor Village pools. The kids really enjoyed the outdoor pool on a day when the waves on Lake Michigan were quite large.
I would definitely recommend this rental! Thank you Sheralyn for the wonderful accommodations!
We had 12 family members that had a great stay in this beautiful home! We enjoyed the fire pit almost every evening and never felt cramped! Very comfortable and beautiful property!
Loved this house and the location.
It was a great place to vacation with the whole family. We all wanted to stay longer.
Very comfortable sleeping arrangements. Lots of space. Plenty to do to keep us busy. Clean and friendly....you really can’t go wrong on this rental.
The house was absolutely beautiful and the property was amazing! The hosts were very responsive and always got back to us right away! Would definitely stay here again!
Yearly vacation with our sons and their families. This was a great place with an awesome garage/rec-room. Location was close enough to town and easy to get to beaches.
