We loved staying right on Lake Michigan in Manistique. Having the windows open at night, listening to the water, and living at a relaxed pace was great. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves the whole week. We brought inflatable paddle boards with us- definitely a great thing to have- the water is cold, but these allowed us to be on the water quite a bit. The house is simple, but has what you need for a family of 5-6. We will definitely try to go back!

Thank you so much for your kind review, Jen! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Michibay and were able to truly relax and unwind. It’s hard to beat falling asleep to the sound of the water and having the beach practically to yourselves! Great idea bringing the inflatable paddle boards—that’s such a fun way to enjoy the lake, even with the chilly water. We're glad the home had everything your family needed and appreciate the additional feedback that we can look further into. We would absolutely love to welcome you back anytime. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us! -Jessica FVR

We loved staying here for the week! Absolutely gorgeous location right on the water and we spent most of our time on the sandy beach. The wifi worked well when we did use it, there were very few bugs, and enjoyed some fires on the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

I cannot say enough about the beautiful location of this house! It is right on Lake Michigan with easy access down a flight of stairs to a pristine sandy beach. There is also a deck and a screened in gazebo where we could still enjoy the outdoors in the evening after we were done swimming and sunning for the day. We had such a peaceful and relaxing stay!
FVR RESPONSE:

It sounds like you made the most of your time swimming, sunning, and relaxing, which is exactly what we hope for our guests. We’d be delighted to welcome you back for another peaceful getaway anytime! -Jessica FVR
