Locals Landing

TaylorRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We were taking a road trip to celebrate our graduation and this was the perfect place! The host is very friendly and responsive. The house is kept very clean and everything was easy to find. It is exactly what you are paying for. We felt very safe and loved how private and peaceful it was. They gave great recommendations of things to do and place to eat. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Sean’s place truly feels like a home away from home. It’s thoughtfully designed with unique touches that make it stand out. The amenities are great—from waterfront access to a sauna by the dock, perfect for a refreshing swim-to-sauna experience. The location is also incredible. We loved exploring nearby towns, discovering an organic winery, and relaxing at local breweries that offer stunning views of Lake Michigan. Sean was an exceptional host—welcoming, responsive, and genuinely hospitable. We’re already looking forward to coming back in another season. If you’re considering this stay, don’t hesitate—book it! You won’t regret it.

Close to BEACH & downtown-Private Backyard-Stylish

TatianaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had a fantastic stay. The house is very comfortable. Bathroom and kitchen were stocked beyond my expectations! The best part, though, is the space in the back yard. Its set up for a quiet peaceful breakfast, a nice barbecue lunch, and a fun family bonfire. It is green, secluded, beautiful. Manastee area is amazing - no crowds, just a perfect beach and endless lake views, changing every hour. We loved the trip.
