It's amazing what they're doing with the SS Milwaukee and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves; stepping back in time to appreciate the way life was when people used this ship to transport cars and trains. The hospitality was great and Linda and her staff did a great job making us feel welcome and cared for. We loved the state room.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful time. The boat is amazing and we loved sitting on the deck at night. We would definitely come again and have recommended it to all our friends

Linda was great! But even more importantly the ship and town are amazing. I did not expect to love Manistee so much but it has an adorable down town area with a beautiful river walk. The ship itself is unbelievable as well, there is so much history and character on the ship. I really recommend it for anyone traveling through the area.

Want unique? Stay here! Want history? Stay here. Want adventure? Stay here. Want to stand in the pilot's house and gaze out as Captain? Stay here. Want great places to eat nearby? Stay here. We want to do it again!

Staying on this boat was a real treat. It was beautiful, with lovely wood panelled cabins with very comfortable beds. Sitting on the deck to watch the sunset and the local 4 July fireworks with the other guests was a great way to spend an evening. There was a community feel on the boat, and both Linda and the other guests were very welcoming and friendly. The light breakfast provided was a nice addition too. As the facilities on the boat were slightly limited, this may be better suited to a short stay than a longer one, but we would certainly recommend visiting it for a unique and really fun experience.

We had been through Manistee many times and were familiar with the ship and it's location. It was interesting staying on the ship, but it isn't suitable for a fussy person. Although everything on the ship is old, it's functional and comfortable. We stayed in a small (of course) but nice room. We thought Linda was so great, she made us feel very welcome, opening the entire ship to us for browsing on our own or offering a tour.

Amazing!!!! We had a blast!!! Linda and Paul was so kind and so helpful! The other guest was a delight!! We will be back again for sure!!! Thank you again Linda for being so accommodating!!!

Very friendly people. Charming cozy room.

My husband and I are airbnb hosts and were ready for a getaway. We found Deanne & Lars spot and thought it would be perfect for our travels up north. It had by far the most beautiful views of any place we stayed in on our trip! Just a breathtaking sunset!!! No matter whether you were in the master bedroom, the deck overlooking the lake or on the beach, it was beautiful! The inside space was very inviting - warm and cozy and comfortable. And Dee and Lars are wonderful hosts! We actually had the joy of chatting and sharing a glass of wine w/them on our stay. It was just the best experience. I would heartily recommend staying at their great space to anyone looking for a private getaway with delightful accommodations and the very best Lake Michigan views!

Such a lovely, peaceful view of Lake Michigan! And right from the slider doors! Very clean. I bet it is even more beautiful in the summer and Fall!

Deanne greeted us when we arrived and she gave us a tour of the house. The house was very clean and welcoming. The host thought of everything, we might need during our stay. She had water, fruits and treats for us in the fridge. View from the master bedroom, deck overlooking the lake or on the beach was amazing. Great place for relaxation and fun!

Genau das, was ich zu bleiben in der Hoffnung. Deeane und Lars ist genial.

Our family of 4 had a great stay at this beach house. The view was breathtaking from the master bedroom and the hosts accommodate for our needs including grilling equipment and plenty of food for breakfast. Great spot for a peaceful getaway.

Beautiful peaceful location on the shores of Lake Michigan! Dee is a natural hostess and we very much enjoyed being guests in her space. For a relaxing escape this place is highly recommended!

The Lakeshore Bed n Breakfast was a great spot for the long weekend. The house was absolutely beautiful, right on the water, with a welcoming deck/porch and access to the beach. We loved our stay and would definitely return!

Lake Michigan is the star of the show at Lakeshore BNB! . The lake is right there in the beautiful back yard. Shade trees in the yard but a nice beach to swim play and sun bathe put this place over the top! There is a nice deck with table and chairs right by the beach. Also a deck off the master bedroom the lower deck offers Tiki lanterns and a few steps down to the beach. We liked the private entrance and the king bed is positioned to the wonderful view. Screens in the doors let the sound of the waves hypnotize you to sleep. Deanne and Lars are exceptional hosts. Are we going back? You bet!!!

John and Karen's place was a perfect little place to cozy up on a cold winter weekend. The place is clean, quiet and has a beautiful view of the lake. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen has everything one needs to cook delicious meals. It is also a quick drive to Meijer and downtown Manistee. I can't wait to check it out during the beautiful Michigan summer!

Una forma económica de pasar el tiempo en un precioso tramo de playa!

The cabin was wonderful John and Karen were able to accommodate us with in the last two weeks before Christmas for a long weekend visiting family. They even put out a Christmas tree for us. The cabin was clean right on the lake with a beautiful view. They asked that we bring our own towels and sheets which we were happy to accommodate. Please note they have two full-size beds if you need to bring sheets. But they do provide plenty of utensils and serving-ware and warm blankets. We look forward to staying at this cabin again in the summer or possibly early fall to be able to enjoy more of the beach front area.

This cottage was perfect! It's in a great location and the sunsets made everything about the trip even better! Perfect for our weekend get away!

Such a great place, it is the best AirBnB I've ever been to. Great atmosphere inside the home, and beyond value being right on Lake Mi. The beach is really quite perfect. The hosts are great too, considerate and easy to communicate with. You will not be disappointed if you stay here!

This cottage was perfect! The views from the deck are spectacular. Close drive into town if you forget something and not a bad drive up to Sleeping Bear Dunes. I would highly recommend this to anybody looking for a relaxing time away from home

John & Karen's cottage is clean, cozy, and right on the beach! Very quiet this time of year, and we had the beach to ourselves. We knew from pics that we would be close to the water, but we were only a few steps from the water's edge--loved hearing the lake! John & Karen were welcoming, and available if needed. We will be back, and recommend the cottage to others. Good location between Manistee & Onekama.

Nuestra familia lo pasamos de maravilla en este precioso cabaña. Definitivamente vamos a volver.

Connie was great! She responded to any questions we had very fast before and during our stay. The cottage was everything the pictures showed. Perfect location close to many beautiful beaches. It was great being right on Bar lake, having a row boat and the option to use kayaks. Not the best swimming lake but pretty good fishing! We would love to stay again!

The host canceled this reservation 20 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Super quaint, super awesome neighborhood. We really enjoyed staying here and plan to return. Ben was straightforward and gave us the information we needed. There were no hassles or problems!

This cottage is even better than the pictures suggest. Ryan was very accommodating and provided all the necessary information without even having to ask. The house was updated, clean, and located just a short walk away from the downtown area. Not one bad thing to say about this Airbnb.

Großer Platz für 4 Personen, nicht super eng wie das, was man von einem Häuschen erwarten könnte. Die Lage war genau richtig, nur einen kurzen Spaziergang von der Innenstadt und kurze Fahrt zu einigen wirklich schönen Stränden. Wenn Sie Manistee besuchen, schauen auf jeden Fall dieses Platz. Ben hat auch eine große Aufgabe der Annäherung und dafür, dass er gab uns Empfehlungen für das, was während unserer Reise zu tun.

This was our first time using AirBNB. It was an overall great experience. The house is very close to downtown Manistee (5 min walk) and close to the beach (20 min walk, 5 min drive). Great neighborhood. Host was quick to respond when we had questions. We would definitely rent this place again.

Wir entschieden uns für einen Familienurlaub nach Manistee zu tun und fand Bens Haus durch AirBnB. Wir hatten eine 59 Jahre alt, 32, 27, 26 und 22 Jahre alt alle Aufenthalt im Haus, und wir fühlten uns sehr komfortabel. Es gab drei Schlafzimmer und ein Bad, und alle waren gut in Form. Ben sorgte dafür, dass uns alle Anweisungen geben, die wir für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt benötigt. Die Lage ist super. Sie befinden sich 3 Blocks von der Innenstadt und etwa eine halbe Meile vom Lake Michigan. Ben war groß bei zum Abhören von Nachrichten und Ideen geben von dem, was in der Stadt zu tun. Er messaged uns selbst, uns zu informieren, wo Live-Musik eine Nacht spielte! Danke Ben für eine tolle Erfahrung.

Our host, Ben made us feel right at home. He responded very quickly to any of our inquiries. The neighborhood was very well kept and quiet, with plenty of historic looking homes as neighbors. The home was tastefully decorated with photos taken in the Manistee area. The home was well stocked with everything we needed. Really loved seeing real flowers in the windowboxes! Beds were really comfortable, all seven of us got a great night's sleep. Nice touch having a coiled hose at the side door to rinse sand from our feet after a day at the beach. Hats off to a great host! Only thing we would like to see changed was our departure date, we did not want to leave! Would gladly recommend Ben's place to a friend. Sincerely, Stan and Jodi from Texas

This is a cute house located 2 blocks from downtown. The house was clean and inviting. The host was very easy to communicate with.

Manistee ist eine schöne kleine Stadt am Lake Michigan. Die Nachbarschaft war schön, sauber und sehr ruhig und in unmittelbarer Nähe zu allem, wenn man wollte. Ben war schnell auf alle Fragen zu antworten wir hatten und mit großer Vorschläge von Dingen um Manistee und andere Orte in der Nähe zu tun.

What a wonderful trip! The house was absolutely perfect - the welcome basket with treats for us and our dogs, the map giving directions to fun activities, the beautiful neighborhood within biking distance of the beach and downtown, it was all absolutely perfect. Thanks so much for making us feel so welcome!

Our stay at in Manistee was outstanding. This home was ideal for what we needed for a golf weekend in northern Michigan. We were 30 minutes from Arcadia Bluffs and Hemlock Golf Club which are both outstanding. The details in the home and the ease of use was wonderful. The home has all you need to cook, grill, and enjoy a wonderful weekend away. Chris left a welcome package with some Manistee National Golf balls, thanks Chris!

Chris' home was the perfect place for me and my family to stay and gather as we celebrated my mother's life. The place was perfect for us to grill, set out plenty of food, park and enjoy the weather as we sat inside and outside over the weekend. The house was a perfect distance from the beach so we could walk the dogs and get in a good amount of exercise. The fenced in yard was fantastic for the dogs as well. Chris made sure everything was ready for us and was even extremely helpful with some last minute items. The area was quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Check in and out was simple and easy. lastly, Chris had a welcome package for us and the dogs waiting for us when we arrived -- a super nice touch.

My husband and I had a fabulous stay in Manistee! Chris's home is neat, clean, cozy, and so welcoming! Every room is decorated with beautiful and thoughtful touches. Notes are strategically located throughout the house providing useful information. I especially enjoyed reading about the history of the house. It is clear that Chris cares deeply about the house and it shows! We enjoyed the lovely patio area as well as the comfortable living area. The kitchen has been beautifully remodeled and the beds are extremely comfortable! The house itself is located in a very convenient spot; so close to the local attractions. We found downtown Manistee to be utterly charming and the beaches are gorgeous. We visited the nearby Douglas Winery and I enjoyed a facial at the spa at Little River Casino. We both enjoyed the Riverwalk and a movie at the Vogue Theatre. We whole heartedly recommend this location to anyone who wants to experience some old fashioned hospitality and a little piece of "Pure Michigan"!

They house was just as described and they even left us some homemade brownies which were extremely delicious and just what we wanted after a long trip. i would definitely stay here again

This house was absolutely perfect. So comfortable and homey. Chris was great, went above and beyond goals sure our experience was top notch. From the homemade cookies to welcome us...to having everything we could have possibly needed. Spices and condiments there when we grilled out. And games to play when we just wanted some down time. Spent a lot of time out back in the beautiful and comfy patio furniture. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Nice quiet neighborhood with awesome neighbors. We did meet a few. If there was anything we forgot....I guarantee it was there. I can not say enough great things about my experience. I will definitely go back and stay again. Just wonderful!!!

Chris was an incredible host! This was my first AirBnB experience and I had quite a few "newbie" questions. She answered each one and was incredibly helpful. She even recommended a place to book for manis and pedis for all of the ladies on our girls weekend! Her house was very charming and fit the needs of 8 ladies just perfectly! The location was great! The neighborhood was super cute and quiet. I went on a morning run and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of sidewalks as well as other people out running and walking. We chose to drive downtown and to the beach but it would have been a very easy 15 min walk. I HIGHLY recommend her as a host and her house!

Strongly recommend this house. This was our first Airbnb experience and I will recommend this house to my friends!

My family and I stayed at The Place for one night as part of a winter weekend get away. The location was perfect with plenty of parking available. The accommodations were exactly as described and check in was a breeze. Cathy was a great host which made our stay relaxing and comfortable.

Had a great time staying on this historic vessel. It was great to see and spend time on.

I was greeted the first night by my host but very briefly. I then did not see her the balance if my time there.

Linda was very welcoming and accommodating (we were very late in arriving, and she graciously waited to check us in). We really appreciated the use of the refrigerator and gas grill. We also enjoyed the company of the other guests on board.

Love the history of this old boat. Was very clean as well. Linda was great!

Staying on the S.S. Milwaukee was a very wonderful and interesting experience for me. I had no idea what it would be like to sleep aboard on old ship like this and would recommend the experience to anyone. I did not meet Linda the first night because of an emergency she had, but was welcomed by other workers who did their best to show me around and answer my questions and helped me with all I needed. I slept well; with a fan; it can get stuffy in those very small rooms and it helps with the ships nightly noises. I enjoyed taking pictures of the sunrise in the morning over the front of the ship and drinking my coffee and reading on the lounge chairs in the morning sun. Linda greeted me the following morning, and was very apologetic for not being there to greet me when I arrived. She was very sweet, sincere and friendly and I wish her and all the dedicated volunteers the very best as they work to keep this ship open for the rest of us to experience its past. Karen

Wow! What a find! We needed a place to in the area and came across this ship. Beautiful 1930s steamship created by the railroads. The elegance of the era very much in evidence - we felt like we were on the Orient Express. The lounge, staterooms, dining rooms, captains quarters - even the galley, smoking room, purser's office... down to details such as period Life Magazines on the lounge tables, "preserver" instructions in each stateroom, light fixtures,... really a special experience. Clean and comfortable as well. Linda met us on arrival and showed us around. She is very friendly and helpful. She took time to respond to our interests and questions as we began to discover what we had come upon in this beautiful ship. Not your usual, here's the room, here's the bathroom, here's the key... She also accommodated our tardy arrival (we called her with 'heads up'). We wound up taking a tour of the ship the following day which we highly recommend. The very knowledgeable tour guid took us into the engine room and explained the operation of the ship and the history of these lines that delivered rail freight cars across Lake Michigan, the elegant quarters for the train executives and other passengers. Highly recommended!

Staying on the boat was a great experience. The host was welcoming and showed us around but did forget to mention when breakfast was and wifi instructions but we found someone later to ask. The ship is in great condition, the beds were really comfortable and it was fun to explore the ship and "go back in time". The doors don't close easily so they are noisy when coming and going from room which was a little problem as we were next to the bathroom so heard other doors during the night as well as the water pipes along one of our walls. Breakfast was good but they ran out of some items so we left a little hungry. We had fun though and are really glad we stayed here.

Great host, very accommodating. Interesting history to the ship. Clean. Would stay again!

This was everything we wanted out of cabin-great location, amazing property, and a very hospitable host.

.

Charlie is an awesome guy. He did everything to make this place hospitable and ideal for a weekend getaway. The cabin is fully furnished, extremely clean, and is by far one of the best cabins I have rented. Charlie even provided us with a rowboat and kayaks to use on the Lake! Would definitely look into renting from Charlie again.

Charlie was a great host. We arrived late on a Friday & were given all details regarding the property earlier in the day, Charlie even turned on the gas fire & radio to make our late arrival wonderful! The cabin is even better in person than the pictures show, the cabin had everything we needed, it is across the street form Lake Michigan, 2 miles from the state park & only about 45 minutes from sleeping bear dunes or Traverse city as well as sitting right on the small inland lake the other side of the road from Lake Michigan, beautiful. The place was definitely perfect for us, we had a peaceful, relaxing weekend with everything we needed at the cabin or close by. We would definitely highly recommend Charlies place, especially for a romantic & relaxing weekend. Thank you charlie for a great stay!!!! Thanks James & Veronica

The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

A great experience! Our host met us upon arrival and walked us through the operation of door locks, helpful hints and important information. There were small reminders (i.e. please ensure screens are closed) which were tasteful and helpful without making us feel like we were being scolded. The furnishings were tasteful and comfortable. Most importantly, the view of Lake Michigan was amazing and the series of decks and screen porch provided wonderful areas for rest, relaxation and connections with our family. Overall, this was a wonderful setting for a family getaway that provided beauty, comfort, tranquility and all the comforts of an extremely well maintained home. The location was awesome and we had absolutely perfect weather for sitting by the shore during the day and under the stars at night.

Bel Lago is a beautiful home with a gorgeous view! Kat was very welcoming and answered all my questions before and during our stay. She greeted us at the door and made us feel like old friends. We had such a wonderful time. We hope to come back and enjoy this beautiful place again someday.
