Family-friendly vacation rentals in Manistee

My little family of 4 ( 3 year old & 9 month old) really enjoyed our stay at Jeff’s place! It was the perfect balance of getting cozy with the family, & romance with the Mrs. Already planning our next stay…if Jeff will have us again😊.

We absolutely loved staying here for our weekend in winter getaway! It was only 30 minutes from downtown Traverse City and 45 minutes from all the wineries on the Old Mission Peninsula! The place is charming and is the perfect private area to unwind but close enough to all the towns! We had a relaxing time here!

This is challenging…Michigan has a vibe & an energy that is indescribable…This Airbnb exceeds all expectations! Love this place! As a disabled veteran… I yearn to move to Michigan…I honestly do not want to leave this review because I do not want tourist to find out about this lil private secret place! It is a slice of heaven on earth! Thank you! Peace 💜🥳🔥

Over the top amazing place to stay. Beautiful, comfortable and adorable! Seth and Kelsey were outstanding hosts and my husband and I were so impressed, these two should give lessons on how to be the perfect hosts!!! The food was amazing and they also slipped in a little birthday surprise for me. The property was so well maintained and the hot tub and fire pit were a welcome surprise and we enjoyed meeting other guests fixing s’mores!! I forgot to sign the guest book so will be back soon!!

Absolutely loved the location of this rental! It was like a 3 minute walk over to the yellow chair. So, so easy! The condo is also fully stocked with anything you might need for cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is decorated super cute, was clean and very accommodating. We would stay here again for another ski trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin. The house was clean and check in/out was seamless. Would recommend!

This home is a gem! The location is so private, wooded and beautiful. We enjoyed the hike to the lake view available on property. The home was so welcoming and cozy. I didn't want to leave! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful place to stay, this place had everything and worked great for our bachelorette party group of 14! Everything was clean and neat, easy to find a use, and Barb was very helpful with any question we had! Traverse city was an easy 20 minute drive. The farm animals were fun to have around as well! We loved it and highly recommended this place!

Place was so cozy! Had everything you could possibly think of. Very responsive and accommodating host. Will definitely stay here again!

Great host! We enjoyed our stay. Awesome location. We’ve stayed in TC many time and this is our favorite. We hope to stay with Fernando again in the future. Thanks for making us feel at home!

Maria’s place is an absolute gem! We stayed three nights over NYE and it was exactly what we needed! It is a gorgeous cabin with thoughtful touches … very peaceful yet close enough to anything you would need. Although, it’s very well appointed so quite easy to just stay in and get cozy by the fire. We drove to Sleeping Bear Dunes area which was not too far and found the drive to be very beautiful! The best part was the snow we woke up to New Year’s Day … just magical and our dogs loved it. 10/10 recommend!

Lee’s place is awesome location if you’re looking to stay in northern Michigan. Lots to do within walking distance to Traverse City but also very centrally located to other towns and things you’ll want to do/see in the area. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay here! Ken and Rhonda were the perfect hosts, they were very flexible with check in and check out times and available to us during our stay. The stay is in a renovated garage next to their house, but we felt like we had lots of privacy and the setting with the pond and lots of land is wonderful. Everything seemed new, clean, and comfy, with lots of games that our kid loved. We loved the location, it felt remote but was also very convenient to everything we like to do in the area!

The tiny house was just wonderful. Lisa has put into lots of considerations in building this small but well equipped space. We brought our dog and cat, who were warmly welcomed by Lisa. The house was clean, organized, and cute. All of us had a great time spending a couple of nights there. Would definitely come back.

My fiancé and I enjoyed a long weekend here. We felt right at home and so did our dogs. Great location, close to everything. We explored TC, and did day trips to Petoskey and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Clean and well stocked, Kristi was very responsive. We will be back!

Our stay in Hersey was fantastic. The cabin was exactly as advertised. We particularly liked the sauna and the woodstove as there was a sudden drop in temperature during our stay and we were able to get very cozy. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again or recommend it to a friend

We had a wonderful weekend and totally enjoyed the Condo. It was clean, organized and we felt right at home. We most definitely would stay there again. It was perfect!! Thank you so much for allowing us to rent from you. It was nice to have a home, instead of just hotel rooms. Excellent experience.

We loved the idea of converting an old motel into a more comfortable and spacious place right across from the beach. The bed was comfortable, "living" room space with table, microwave and fridge were just what we needed, and folks we met were very friendly. We'd stay here again!

We had three generations staying and the size of the place and ability to spread out made it very comfortable for all to have their own spaces, especially the kids. The kitchen/dining allows for prepping/cooking/eating with space to spare. The view on the course is lovely and the deck and fire pit are a great way to take it in. We took advantage of the indoor & outdoor pool as well as the private beach on Lake Bellaire. Golfed the Summit, hit at the range and played kickball golf! I recommend Torch Lake Pontoon for a day trip on that beautiful lake. So much available in the resort and surrounding area to do - a great place for a family vacation.

We loved the location and outside space at the house! The kids really enjoyed the pool and the beach area too! It was a great getaway to end the summer.

Adorably comfortable modern home on Canadian Lakes. We had a wonderful time here! The house had everything one would need, and plenty of space for our larger group. Susan, the property manager, made our stay effortless and was so nice and helpful in every way, even responding over the weekend to the couple of questions we had. Even the neighbors were super nice! We definitely will be back for a longer stay!

When going skiing, leave ski's in vehicle overnight. Since room is on 3rd floor and the room isn’t that large . But it's great for ski in and ski out to stay

The location is everything! Ski in/ski out really made this trip, especially if you have young kids who need frequent breaks. And the fire pit brought the non skiers out and helped make them feel apart of the activity. Inside was clean and accommodating. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans. Driving to the cabin was difficult. 3 cars with 4 wheel drive got stuck with the fresh snow. Do not ignore the 4 wheel drive warning in the winter months!

Mary was the perfect host. Her place was clean, spacious, and so comfortable. Great directions once in town, and awesome recommendations in her table side book with instructions. All amenities and just beautiful decorated . COZY !! Highly recommend Fish Town . Hop Lot brewery and the Cove were outstanding for dinner. Friendly people !! Ugly pies was a little farm stand with the Best homemade pies and apples. Hopefully we can come up again next year. We will definitely stay at Marys place !!! Thank you again, Laura
