Cottage vacation rentals in Manistee

We had a great time at Salma’s cabin! Everything was accurately depicted in the photos and between the included games and the hot tub we were able to spend an entire day just at the cabin. The location is excellent, you’re able to feel secluded but still close enough to Traverse City that you can run to town to grab a cup of coffee or a bite to eat. It’s a perfect location for checking out the city or exploring the wineries. Check in was easy and Salma was available should we have needed anything!

We had a lovely stay! The cottage was so cute and I just loved how they decorated it! We absolutely loved the hot tub and used it every day! We decided to walk down to the beach through all the snow, would love to stay in the summer when we can actually go swimming!! Ate at Peegeos twice during our stay, so close and so good, get the cheesecake! So delicious and made from scratch! We will definitely be back!

Great vacation getaway! This property is very well cared for and was comfortable inconvenient for my family. Beautiful setting also

The cottage was great, clean and had everything we needed. Beautiful location right on the river. It was clear that our host has put a lot of thought and effort into ensuring that guests enjoy their stay and we did. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Linda's place was everything we could have wanted and more. It was the perfect cozy cabin, so close to our planned activities, nice and quiet/peaceful, and well stocked with anything we could need. Linda was very understanding and a great host. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!!!

Kelly was a wonderful host! She was excellent at communication, very friendly, flexible with our check-out time, and made our stay so warm and welcoming. The hot tub overlooking the lake was so fun and a beautiful setting. I wish we had more time there so we could have taken the kayaks out or enjoyed a bonfire! We'll have to come back another time. :) The house is only a 15-min drive from Pentwater and Mears State Park, so it's perfect for shopping, finding restaurants, and hiking. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

this place was a perfect getaway. the area of down town traverse city is amazing even when it’s cold out. lots of restaurants and wineries to go try. the cabin itself was super cute and cozy but still a modern finish. the hot tub was amazing and made the cabin whole. i absolutely would recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to travel to traverse city.

A slice of Heaven was a perfect getaway! My husband and I booked this spur of the moment and couldn’t be more happier! Dan was an incredible host, very responsive and accommodating making sure we had everything we needed. The location is secluded and the cabin was clean & cozy. We love it!

Melanie was a fantastic host with a beautiful home. She was so very helpful in a really difficult situation. She was proactive with a lot of helpful information, responsive when we had questions, and was understanding when we had to leave early. This place would be wonderful to visit in the summer when we're on an actual vacation. Great access to the park and lake, the yard was great for our kids and dogs. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a nice small town getaway.

Place was an amazing getaway for my husband and I. Very quiet and cozy just what we needed. Rob was very helpful and quick to respond to every question we had. Will definitely come back. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Very nice stay. Great communication from Evan, beautiful lake house, clean and well organized, and an amazing all season room overlooking the lake. Thank you for sharing your home, Evan!

We absolutely loved our stay here! We love the location and used this as a home base to explore Sleeping Bear Dunes, Empire, Leland, Traverse City and Boyne Mountain. The house was exactly what we needed! Everything was wonderful and they had everything we could need. Any time we had a question she responded quickly. I would absolutely recommend staying here and believe we will be back!

Jake's place was clean and comfortable. it is a good spot to stay if you're exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and the surrounding attractions.

"An Absolute Lakeside Gem!" Blue Haven was everything we hoped for and more! The beach-themed interior was impeccably clean and cozy, with plenty of blankets and linens to keep us comfortable. The large, unobstructed windows gave us a stunning panoramic view of Lake Michigan, making every moment feel like a scenic postcard. The patio was generous in size, equipped with comfortable furniture and even a charming two-seater swing, perfect for unwinding with a good book or simply soaking in the view. This spot was ideal for relaxing, watching breathtaking sunsets, and stargazing into the night. Blue Haven is truly a gem on the shore of Lake Michigan, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend!

This little cottage was great! The inside was so nice and cozy with beautiful surrounding outdoors.

Great place to stay. Walking distance to Crystal lake & once a few minute drive to Frankfort. Very peaceful & secluded. Highly recommended

Nice cabin with a personality. If you can use the pontoon boat and hit the lake, this experience can be unique. Fishing is accessible off the dock, and you can easily catch some bluegills. Network access is limited but you can use the time to catch some old VHS movies. We watched Free Willy after so many years! Overall a nice stay in White Cloud.

Wonderful stay. Super clean and beautifully decorated. Nice outdoor area to sit around fire. Definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful stay. I grew up on Big Platte Lake, so it was wonderful to share the memories, scenery, and great food with girlfriend. Thank you so much to our hosts, Javier and Virginia.

Probably the best Airbnb experience we have ever had. John and his wife were kind and quick to respond to our questions. While they live on the property, we did not see them at all during our stay. The water front makes it extremely enjoyable and the lake is quiet. They checked in with us and always made sure we had everything we needed. We will absolutely be back to this rental, hopefully for longer next time!

great cabin in the woods! close to Sleeping Bear dunes, Glen Arbor, etc.

Great little cottage. Loved the location and the proximity to town. Everything we needed. Will definitely return hopefully when it isn’t cold and rainy so I can enjoy the beautiful screened porch and nice yard/firepit.

Rick’s place was great! He was responsive and accommodating to our needs! Happy to visit again!!

This is a classic up north cottage style lakeside resort. You will not find a better view of the lake, islands, and even dunes than this place. We loved our time here and will be back. Our place had a ton of ants but there’s really not much you can do about that outside of some traps. Overall it was clean and private. Sad the weather wasn’t great but that can’t be controlled either. The one nice sunset we had was amazing, especially watching it with others staying at the resort. Great proximity to Leland and Sutton’s bay, and a short drive to traverse city. Love that it’s much quieter than the typical up north beach towns.
