Jul 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice place Cute lake cottage feel. It's one part of a duplex that gets rented separately, but no access between the two, so you have your privacy. The larger beaches are about a mile walk and there's a smaller lake about half a mile away. The hosts were thorough with info about the property and the check in and out processes. ##### Madelyn O.

May 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Getaway Crystal and her family have done a wonderful job putting together this little Back Porch Cottage! We had everything we needed to feel like this little space was homey and comfortable. Affordable, cozy, and excellent customer service is what you’ll get when you book this space! The kitchen was great for making our own meals. The deck and grill were super nice added bonuses. We had games, tv, it’s close to the beach and downtown Manistee - everything we wanted! Highly recommend and we will be returning! ##### Abby A. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dianne B. Aug 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy, comfortable We enjoyed our stay in the back porch cottage. Our only comment is that AC was not adequate to keep temperature comfortable. It got up to 77 at times, the small AC window unit couldn’t keep up. We had to buy fans to tolerate the heat. Otherwise, everything else was great! ##### Dianne B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayna C. Jul 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Convenient location My mom, sister, two nieces (ages 5 and 9), and I stayed here. It was exactly as advertised. Yes, it is small, but we all slept comfortably and there were still bed options we did not use. If we had bad weather, it would have been tight but thankfully the weather cooperated. Everything is well thought out- there are easy to find instructions for things, a helpful binder, even extras like beach chairs. It is conveniently located, but just beware if you come to the town during 2023, one of the bridges is closed for repairs. So everyone has to cross the river over a single draw bridge. Thank you for hosting us. We enjoyed our brief stay in Manistee. ##### Jayna C. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Katie Z. Aug 2, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### very cute place to stay ! the host was very kind, let us know about events going on in the area. the house was very very close to the beach and downtown shops, usually we are about a half hour out when we visit manistee, so that was a very nice luxury. however, it is a shared property so there are other tenants with you. not much privacy and was a bit uncomfortable, and wasn’t advertised very clearly. the pictures also make the space look a lot bigger than it is. it says it can sleep 7-8, but i wouldn’t recommend more than two adults, three at most. the area we stayed, was the back porch area, however , we didn’t use the back porch very much due to the cobwebs and spiders (my boyfriend is a baby when is comes to spiders) the living area itself, was very clean ! the hosts were also kind enough to leave some travel shampoo and soap and other utilities. overall really cute place to stay with friendly hosts ! would more than likely book again ! ##### Katie Z.
