Review Score:   10
Summary: Zero issues, excellent location, really nice vibe, very attentive hosts, and an all around good time. Loved the river view patio and the central business district location. Just mere minutes from abundant food and shopping options and just minutes (via motorized vehicle) from 3-4 awesome Lake Michigan beach access points.This is our first time visiting Manistee and when we come back—we’ll be staying in this location again.
